What are the top ten most popular majors for liberal arts students?

There are two main majors that liberal arts students can enroll in. One is humanities, such as Chinese, history, foreign languages, journalism and philosophy, and the other is economics, finance and business administration. Of these two majors, the following ten are the most popular among liberal arts students.

I. Accounting

main course

Management, microeconomics, macroeconomics, management information system, statistics, accounting, financial management, marketing, economic law, financial accounting, cost accounting, management accounting, auditing, etc.

Career prospects

Accounting major is one of the popular majors in most provinces in China. The main reason for candidates to apply for accounting is "good employment and high pay". However, is the employment situation after four years in line with expectations?

A number of statistical surveys show that the employment rate of accounting graduates is over 90% after half a year, which is much higher than the average level of undergraduate graduates with equivalent qualifications in China. But it is worth noting that accounting is also one of the professions with the largest number of unemployed people.

This phenomenon shows that there is a great demand for accounting professionals in the labor market, but the supply of graduates has continuously exceeded the market demand due to too many schools offering this major and too large enrollment scale. In other words, if you choose accounting major, there will be more employment opportunities after graduation, but the competition will be more intense.

In the accounting industry, certified public accountant is a position with high gold content. If you can get this qualification, you will be comfortable in the talent market.

Employment target

Accounting: working in enterprises and institutions at all levels;

Certified public accountant: working in an accounting firm;

Securities analyst: working in a bond stock company;

Bank clerk: I work in some financial institutions.

Two. International economy and trade

main course

Political economics, western economics, international economics, econometrics, introduction to world economy, international trade theory and practice, international finance, international settlement, monetary banking, finance, accounting, statistics, etc.

Career prospects

Used to be a hot major. In the 1990s, with the continuous expansion of foreign capital and Sino-foreign joint ventures in China, talents who know international trade have become "hot items" for many large companies. At that time, when the college entrance examination was held every year, the major with the highest admission score was often international economy and trade.

However, the good times did not last long. By the end of last century, there were signs that international trade talents were "unsalable" in the market. Fortunately, after entering the new century, with the trend of global economic integration and China's integration with the international trade organization after joining the WTO, the international trade specialty has ushered in the second spring. When you see more and more foreign trademarks appearing on the dazzling array of goods in shopping malls, when you see more and more famous foreign cars running in the streets and lanes, and when you see more and more foreign faces around you, you know that the major of international economy and trade will continue to be hot.

Many students take studying abroad as their first choice after graduation. Students who are willing to find a job are not worried about their way out. All fields related to international business are the choice of graduates of this major. Foreign-funded enterprises, private enterprises, state-owned enterprises, national scientific research institutions and institutions all provide many opportunities, among which foreign companies are generally the first choice for most graduates. The advantages of international trade graduates in this respect are self-evident. With excellent foreign language proficiency, professional knowledge and solid computer skills, they can naturally get a superior job.

The regions with the largest employment distribution in this major are: Guangdong, Beijing, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Shandong.

Employment target

Sales staff: engaged in international and domestic market sales in various foreign-related enterprises;

Civil servants: engaged in international trade in government departments at all levels.

University recommendation (national professional construction point)

Key universities: Beijing Normal University, university of international business and economics, Institute of International Relations, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Xiamen University, Wuhan University, Hunan University, Chongqing University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, Wuhan University of Technology, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and Yunnan University.

Tip:

1, excellent foreign language and math scores are suitable for the exam. In some key universities, it is only possible to obtain a bachelor's degree certificate by passing CET-6.

2. This major, whether engaged in research or sales, needs to master foreign languages, marketing, accounting, finance and other related knowledge. Almost all enterprises and institutions that recruit international trade talents have put forward requirements; Have CET-6 certificate, strong oral expression skills; Proficient in professional knowledge, know the process of doing international trade, and be able to quote, follow documents, make documents and settle foreign exchange independently. Some enterprises also require the qualification certificates of customs declarers, customs officers and bill makers.

Third, journalism.

main course

Introduction to journalism, Chinese and foreign news history, news communication theory, news business (including news interview, news editing, news writing, news commentary), Chinese and foreign literature history, world cultural history, mass communication, news laws and regulations and news professional ethics, news photography, news professional management, advertising, etc.

Career prospects

Journalism is one of the largest majors in liberal arts colleges.

In the past, only the Chinese department of an established comprehensive university was opened, but now it is blooming everywhere. Many colleges and universities think that setting up journalism major is "small investment and quick results", news and communication majors have been added one after another, and some newly-run private colleges and independent colleges have been established one after another, resulting in an unprecedented scale of journalism graduates. According to incomplete statistics, at present, there are more than 400 undergraduate journalism majors in colleges and universities nationwide, with more than 654.38+10,000 students. Journalism has become a veritable hot major.

But at the same time, the former General Administration of Press and Publication put forward the policy of "controlling scale, optimizing structure, improving quality and enhancing efficiency". In order to reduce the financial burden of the government and rectify the order of press and publication, a number of newspapers and periodicals have been cut and closed.

According to relevant data, in recent years, 677 newspapers and periodicals in China have been closed, most of which are trade newspapers and local newspapers. In the future, the news media will maintain the existing scale, and there will be no big increase in the number. At present, the number of news media in China is generally controlled at: more than 2,200 newspapers; More than 8,000 periodicals; There are about 1000 radio stations, TV stations and cable TV stations; There are more than 300 major news websites.

With the development of online media, journalism has two new employment directions. First, public opinion analysis, government departments at all levels attach great importance to online public opinion, and many departments and enterprises need to recruit staff for public opinion analysis and corporate government affairs from the media; Second, new media. At present, there are dozens of new media platforms represented by WeChat official accounts, and the number of new media startups is even larger, and the number of new jobs is considerable.

Employment target

Editorial reporter: engaged in news work in media organizations at all levels, such as newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV stations, websites, etc.

Civil servants: engaged in secretarial and publicity work in government agencies at all levels; Entrepreneurial enterprises.

University recommendation (national professional construction point)

Key universities: China Renmin University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, China Communication University, Jilin University, Fudan University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, Wuhan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hunan University, Jinan University, Sichuan University, Peking University, Shanghai International Studies University, Nanjing Normal University, Zhengzhou University, Guangxi University ☆, Yunnan University, Anhui University, Southwest University of Political Science and Law.

Tip:

1, liberal arts and science candidates majoring in journalism are recruited at the same time, mostly liberal arts candidates.

2. Journalism majors offered by different colleges have different emphasis directions, such as international news of Foreign Languages College, financial news of Finance and Economics College, rural news of Agricultural College, legal news of Political Science and Law College, and sports news major of Physical Education College.

Fourth, the law

main course

Jurisprudence, Chinese legal history, constitution, administrative law and administrative procedure law, civil law, commercial law, intellectual property law, economic law, criminal law, civil procedure law, criminal procedure law, international law, international justice, international economic law, etc.

Career prospects

More than a decade ago, law graduates basically worked in public security, procuratorial, legal and departmental departments. Nowadays, the employment direction of law major in colleges and universities has changed fundamentally because of the beach-rushing. Except for a few people who passed the civil service examination or judicial examination and went to positions corresponding to their majors, most graduates went to enterprises and institutions to engage in jobs unrelated to law.

The employment rate of this major is also declining year by year, and some people even list the law major as one of the "most difficult 10 majors" on the Internet.

However, judging from the development trend of society, the market economy is a legal economy. Without a sound socialist legal system as the backing, there will be no good market economic order. According to statistics, the average number of lawyers per 10,000 people in China is only 0.8, which is lower than that of developed countries and some developing countries.

As far as enterprises are concerned, there are over 50 million enterprises in China, and only over 40,000 have hired lawyers as legal advisers. This information shows that the huge legal market demand in China has not been developed. The legal needs and services of rural areas and small and medium-sized enterprises have not yet started. With the development of economy and the progress of society, and the improvement of legal environment, the demand for legal talents will be increasing.

Judging from the regional distribution of lawyers, the development is extremely uneven. There are more than 1 10,000 lawyers in Guangzhou and Beijing, accounting for about 17% of the total number of lawyers in China, while there are only over 400 lawyers in Qinghai Province, and only 1 lawyer in some provinces and individual counties.

There is also a strange phenomenon in the field of law: it is said that law majors are hard to find jobs, and many non-law graduates turn to law every year when they take the postgraduate entrance examination. In addition, there are still many on-the-job personnel who have given up their original jobs and joined the judicial examination army.

Employment target

Civil servants: serving as police, prosecutors and judges in relevant government departments;

Legal adviser: responsible for legal affairs in large companies;

Lawyer: working as a lawyer in a law firm;

Others: doing general affairs in various enterprises.

University recommendation (national professional construction point)

Key universities: Peking University, Renmin University of China, university of international business and economics, China University of Political Science and Law, School of International Relations, Jilin University, Zhejiang University, Xiamen University, Shandong University, Wuhan University, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, Dalian Maritime University, beijing language and culture university, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China Ocean University, East China University of Political Science and Law, Nanjing Normal University, Anhui University, Zhengzhou University, Hainan University, Southwest University of Political Science and Law.

Tip:

1, when you are a senior, you'd better take the national judicial examination. If you reach the score line, it means that you can get the legal practice qualification certificate before graduation, which is equivalent to directly entering the interview session of the civil service examination.

2. Due to the rapid expansion of enrollment in recent years, this major has been included in the controlled distribution major since 20 13.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) international politics

main course

Principles of Political Science, Introduction to International Politics, International Law and International Organizations, Contemporary International Relations, Modern China Diplomacy, Western International Relations Theory, International Political Economy, American Foreign Policy, Politics and Economy of Countries, etc.

Career prospects

At the end of the daily news network, all the international news is playing. As an ordinary audience, the understanding of what is happening in the world is superficial, and professionals will comment on these international current events. This major is "International Politics".

It can be seen that the major of international politics mainly studies various relations between countries and international organizations, makes scientific analysis of some international political events, and summarizes laws through various phenomena, thus providing theoretical basis for people to predict the future changes of international politics.

This is a major worth looking forward to, and it certainly doesn't belong to the major of making money and cramping. At present, there are not many institutions of higher learning specializing in international political science, and most of them are domestic famous universities. Due to the "famous brand effect", most graduates of this major choose to continue their studies, or take the postgraduate entrance examination, or go abroad.

Direct employment is the first choice for civil servants. Many civil service examination subjects are similar to international politics courses, so many people can get what they want. Of course, the number of people working in public institutions also accounts for a certain proportion.

There are five provinces and cities with the largest geographical distribution of this major: Beijing, Shandong, Guangdong, Tianjin and Shaanxi.

If you study this major in two colleges or remote colleges, the prospect after graduation is not wonderful, and you have to pay a hard price for both postgraduate entrance examination and employment.

Employment target

Civil servants: foreign-related work of government agencies at all levels;

Editor: I am an international commentator in many media organizations.

University recommendation (national professional construction point)

Key universities: Peking University, Jilin University, China Renmin University and Fudan University.

point out

1. The major of international politics mainly recruits liberal arts candidates, and there are certain requirements for candidates' foreign language scores.

2. Candidates who like writing and theoretical research and have good eloquence are suitable for the exam.

Six, English

main course

Basic English, advanced English, selected reading of newspapers and periodicals, audio-visual, oral English, English writing, translation theory and practice, language theory, introduction to linguistics, literary history and selected reading of major English-speaking countries, national conditions of major English-speaking countries, etc.

Career prospects

At present, almost all undergraduate colleges in China have foreign language colleges or English departments. Since 2005, the Ministry of Education has announced to the public the enrollment of various majors in colleges and universities nationwide in the previous year. The enrollment of English majors ranks first among all majors for many years in a row. At present, there are about 6,543,800 English major graduates every year.

For a long time, the employment rate of English majors has been among the best. According to the information published by China Education News, before 2000, the employment rate of English majors remained above 90%. The new salary level of students after work is also much higher than that of graduates of other majors. At the same time, their postgraduate entrance examination is much easier than other institutions, and it is more convenient to cross majors and institutions. Why? Obviously, people who succeed in the postgraduate entrance examination every year are exposed to the high level of English. Otherwise, no matter how good the professional performance is, it is also a "one-vote veto."

Traditionally, translation has a wide range of employment, and it can be engaged in translation, management, research and teaching in the departments of culture, scientific research, schools, publishing, economy and tourism. At present, there are five main directions of professional translation in great demand in China: conference interpretation, court interpretation, business interpretation, liaison escort interpretation and document translation.

English is a necessary condition for finding a job, but not a sufficient condition. With the gradual popularization of English education, people's awareness of learning English is constantly improving. Many entrepreneurs or managers have mastered English skills, and they no longer need specialized English talents to help them. The market demand for graduates majoring in pure language and literature is gradually decreasing. Since 2009, some media reported that English major has become one of the top ten majors with the largest number of unemployed people.

Of course, if you are not picky about your work, I'm afraid English majors will never lose their jobs. At least, the demand for English teachers in rural primary and secondary schools will be difficult to meet for decades. If you want to stay in the city, language training institutions at all levels in the market also need a large number of English talents.

Employment target

Teachers: primary and secondary school teaching;

Translation: engaged in translation work in foreign affairs and economic and trade departments;

Tour guide: working as a tour guide in an international travel agency;

Others: engaged in translation and secretarial work in various foreign-related enterprises.

University recommendation (national professional construction point)

Key universities: Beijing Foreign Studies University, Tsinghua University, beijing language and culture university, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Foreign Affairs College, Northeast Normal University, Shanghai International Studies University, Nanjing University, Xiamen University, Shandong University, Huazhong Normal University, Southwest University, Sichuan University, Shaanxi Normal University, Beijing Normal University, Beijing Forestry University, Nankai University, East China Normal University, Central South University, Anhui University, Xiangtan University, Hunan Normal University, Guangdong Foreign Studies.

point out

1, English majors are part-time, mostly liberal arts students. Candidates need to take the oral English test organized by the local recruitment office. Different schools also require candidates to get English scores in a single subject.

2. English majors have higher requirements for candidates' writing comprehension and language expression ability. Candidates should have a certain language talent and be sensitive to language. In high school, candidates with good English language are suitable for the exam.

Seven, logistics management

main course

Management principles, production and operation management, management information system, introduction to logistics, urban logistics, international logistics, warehousing, transportation, packaging, distribution center theory, logistics management, logistics system design technology, etc.

Career prospects

With the establishment of China's market economy system and the acceleration of the process of world economic integration, the logistics industry, as a new industrial sector in the national economy, has become an important industry and a new growth point of the national economy in this century.

At present, from the central government to the local government, many governments and enterprises are actively planning to develop modern logistics industry, and regard logistics as a pillar industry and a new economic growth point for economic development. Shanghai should become an important hub and node of the global modern logistics supply chain; Shenzhen municipal government regards modern logistics industry as one of the three important pillar industries; Beijing, Dalian, Shenyang and other cities are speeding up the formulation of logistics development plans and stepping up their implementation; Tianjin has invested10 billion yuan in logistics infrastructure for many years, and vigorously promoted the logistics industry to become one of the five pillar industries of Tianjin's economic development.

Modern logistics in China has entered a new period of rapid growth and all-round development. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, with the steady and rapid development of the national economy and the further expansion of import and export trade, the scale of logistics demand will continue to expand.

According to the latest online recruitment data released by Zhaopin, by 20 16, the demand for logistics talents above undergraduate level in China will be about 300,000 ~ 400,000, and the annual training scale of logistics specialty in each undergraduate college will be about 6,000. In the future, in addition to the shortage of logistics talents in warehousing, transportation, distribution, freight forwarding and other fields, relevant systematic management talents, professional operation talents who understand import and export trade, and e-commerce logistics talents will be more popular.

It is understood that the most sought-after logistics talents at present are those who have mastered the theories and skills of modern economy, trade, transportation and logistics, and have a solid English ability. Their annual salary can reach several hundred thousand yuan.

Management personnel: to engage in transportation, warehousing and logistics management related to logistics in national and provincial economic management departments, trading companies, industrial and commercial enterprises and logistics centers; Technical personnel: to engage in technical work in railway, aviation, ports, warehousing and other enterprises.

University recommendation (national professional construction point)

Key universities: Beijing Jiaotong University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

point out

1. The major similar to logistics management is "Logistics Engineering" in "Transportation". Both majors are biased towards boys. Because it takes hard work to engage in the logistics industry, boys have an advantage in this respect, so girls apply for this major cautiously.

2. Some schools stipulate that undergraduate graduates should not only have graduation certificates and degree certificates, but also have professional skills qualification certificates such as master's certificate of logistics. However, the content of this certificate exam is all the content learned in professional courses, and it is relatively easy to pass the exam.

Eight. enterprise management

Professional introduction: This major trains senior business administration professionals with knowledge and ability in management, economy, law and enterprise management, who can engage in management, teaching and scientific research in enterprises, institutions and government departments.

Professional level: undergraduate? Professional category: management

Nine, advertising

Professional Introduction: This major trains senior advertising professionals with advertising theory and skills and extensive cultural and scientific knowledge, who can engage in advertising management, advertising planning creativity and design, marketing planning and market research and analysis in news media advertising departments, advertising companies, market research and information consulting industries, enterprises and institutions.

Professional level: undergraduate? Major category: literature

Traditional Chinese medicine

main course

Basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, basic knowledge of modern medicine, classic medical books of traditional Chinese medicine, diagnostics of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese pharmacy, prescription science, internal medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, surgery of traditional Chinese medicine, gynecology of traditional Chinese medicine, pediatrics of traditional Chinese medicine, orthopedics of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, etc. Graduation internship arrangements are generally not less than 48 weeks.

Career prospects

This major is also included in the top ten majors favored by liberal arts students, because western medicine majors basically do not recruit liberal arts students, and some liberal arts students are really interested in medicine, hoping to put on white coats and become angels in white in the future.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a bright pearl in China's 5,000-year history of civilization. From Huangdi Neijing to Compendium of Materia Medica, from hemp boiling powder to acupuncture, Chinese medicine has created countless world firsts in the history of human medicine.

In the early years, Chinese medicine was taught by teachers and apprentices, and many of them were Chinese medicine families. The real teaching in the form of school education began after liberation, and running a school is of a technical secondary school nature. Until 1962, the first batch of Chinese medicine graduates. Today, "College of Traditional Chinese Medicine" has blossomed all over the country, with tens of thousands of undergraduate graduates every year. It has developed rapidly in the past two years. If you are not careful, the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been renamed the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"Developing Chinese medicine and paying equal attention to both Chinese and Western medicine" is the basic policy formulated by China government in the medical field. Chinese medicine has a solid and broad mass base, and the demand for Chinese medicine talents has long existed in society. Especially in China, the society has entered the aging stage, and there is still room for further development of TCM in the future.

However, compared with western medicine majors, it is indeed more difficult for graduates of Chinese medicine majors to find jobs. Hospitals in large and medium-sized cities tend to recruit experienced old Chinese medicine practitioners from the society even if they need Chinese medicine talents. Therefore, graduates of this major should focus on remote small and medium-sized cities or even county towns or villages.

In addition, some Chinese medicine students choose pedicure, massage and other service industries as their livelihood.

"bloom inside the wall, fragrance outside the wall". Compared with China, Chinese medicine is paid more and more attention abroad (such as Southeast Asia), so going abroad for employment is also a way out for graduates majoring in Chinese medicine.

It is not easy to find a job after graduation, but it is relatively easy to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Because there are many enrollment schools and enrollment plans, and the professional examination questions are not difficult, most schools in the unified examination subjects can enter the retest as long as they reach the national line. It will be much easier to get re-employed after graduate school. After all, the hospital is still a unit that emphasizes academic qualifications.

Employment target

Doctor: to engage in medical work in Chinese medicine hospitals at all levels, Chinese medicine departments in general hospitals and Chinese medicine education institutions;

Others: engaged in the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine or drug sales in pharmaceutical factories or companies.

University recommendation (national professional construction point)

Key universities: Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Capital Medical University and Southern Medical University.

point out

1. At the same time, general liberal arts students majoring in traditional Chinese medicine are enrolled, and candidates interested in China ancient literature are suitable for the examination.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine has low requirements for logical thinking. However, basic courses, such as advanced mathematics, physiology and pathology, biochemistry, etc. , will be provided after admission. There is no problem for liberal arts students, but it is a matter of no difficulty.
