Big data and landscape architecture are the hottest majors.
This time, four universities including Xiangtan University, Jishou University, Hunan Business School and Hunan University of Finance and Economics have added data science and big data technology majors. Why is the big data major so hot? According to industry analysts, on the one hand, in 20 15, the State Council released the Action Plan for Promoting Big Data Development, and many enterprises have great demand for big data talents; On the other hand, big data faces a global talent shortage. Relevant surveys show that the gap of high-end talents such as big data scientists is between 6.5438+0.4 million and 6.5438+0.9 million; The gap between analysts and managers who know how to use big data to make decisions has reached 654.38+0.5 million.
In addition, with the continuous improvement of people's quality of life and living standards, greening and ecological environment have become new pursuits. There is a growing demand for talents who not only know landscape design and flower and seedling conservation, but also know "green economy" management. This time, Jishou University, hunan university of arts and science, Hunan University of Science and Technology and Hengyang Teachers College all added landscape architecture majors.
Cancel four undergraduate majors.
It is noteworthy that there are two new majors among the 65 new majors, one of which is credit risk management and legal prevention and control major of Xiangtan University. According to the relevant person in charge of Xiangtan University, the first credit risk management college in China was established last year. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, China will need at least 500,000 credit risk management talents in the next five years, and there is a huge gap between the demand and supply of talents.
Hunan University's newly-added safety technology major is also a new major. The reporter learned that the National Secrecy College of Hunan University is the eighth national secrecy college jointly established by the State Secrecy Bureau and universities, and the first national secrecy college in Central China. In order to better adjust the professional structure, four undergraduate majors, namely Computer Science and Technology, Hunan Institute of Science and Technology Fashion Design and Engineering, Hunan University of Science and Technology Fashion and Fashion Design, Human Geography and Urban and Rural Planning, were cancelled.
Be careful when choosing a new major. Dr. Cai Xiaohui, the chief college entrance examination research expert of Hunan Daonan Education and the secretary-general of the Family Education Research Branch of Hunan Education Association, believes that big data major is a hot professional direction at present, and all aspects are in the process of construction and development. However, since it has passed the examination of the Ministry of Education, it proves that it has the same strength in running a school. However, Cai Xiaohui admits that this major has very high professional requirements for talents, so don't blindly follow the trend to pursue emerging majors.
In addition, because the landscape architecture major integrates art and technology and belongs to the category of architecture, it has always been popular and requires higher basic quality of students. Therefore, we should consider the influence of the level of colleges and universities on future employment. At the same time, Cai Xiaohui also suggested that candidates should know the training objectives and requirements of new majors in the school through relevant materials, that is, the knowledge and ability that graduates should have, as well as the main disciplines, main courses, main practical teaching links, employment and further studies, research fields, teaching staff, scientific research characteristics, etc., in order to reduce the risk of choosing new majors.
