Bachelor of Tourism Management, I want to change my major when studying abroad.

Among the students who apply for studying abroad, many people have the idea of changing their major. Before students change their major, they should understand three questions, that is, why to change, whether to get better and how to change.

Students change their major. One is that they don't know enough about their major when they volunteer for the college entrance examination. Undergraduate is not their interest, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity to go abroad for postgraduate study to learn their real favorite major. The other is to study liberal arts in China, in order to get a better job in the future, I want to switch to business and other majors, or I want to re-choose my major because of the influence of my family and career. Another is to apply for an unpopular major with less fierce competition to attack famous schools.

Therefore, students who want to change their major should ask themselves whether they have really considered it clearly, whether they want to change their major or not, and whether they understand all the requirements for changing their major. Students should also ask themselves whether they have the background of new professional requirements, such as whether science and engineering students have done relevant scientific research projects or participated in internships and practices, and whether they have strong practical ability and strong scientific research and innovation ability; Whether business students have leadership and uniqueness.

Pay attention to students' professional background in the postgraduate stage, and the continuity of majors is more helpful for students' future work and employment. Therefore, in addition to business, most majors have the conditions for students to transfer. Bao Ainan, head of enrollment in China Office of Charles Darwin University, said that if students must change their major, they should generally give reasons. Personal statement is very important, and the corresponding work experience is also helpful to apply for changing majors. As far as Australia is concerned, because it is an immigrant country, there is an obvious tendency to immigrate if you change your major for no reason. In addition to transferring to MBA, the school expects students to have relevant professional background.

Shi Yi, head of enrollment in the China office of the University of Bristol in the UK, said that it is easier for students to transfer to business in the UK. Business courses in research universities like Bristol University pay more attention to math scores, because students mainly study economics, finance, accounting, statistics and other courses. Other major business subjects, such as marketing and tourism, have lower barriers to major changes.

Some students don't know what career they want to pursue in the future when they are undergraduates, which is also a factor that they want to change their professional fields through postgraduate study. Among the students who apply for the British master's degree, the most common one is that girls who study science and engineering choose popular majors such as business. The postgraduate courses of science and engineering in Bristol University need a strong undergraduate background, so they are generally applied by students in related disciplines. Some business majors allow students to apply for transfer, but students must have sufficient mathematical ability, which also meets the needs of students who do not want to continue studying science and engineering.
