There is a misunderstanding in society that "biology majors are not good for employment". Relevant statistics show that in recent years, the national employment rate of biological sciences is 85%-90%, which is at a high level. Of course, there are differences between schools. The employment situation of biological science in 985 universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua and Zhejiang University is very good, and most of them choose to study at home and abroad. Some colleges and universities that blindly set up biology majors before, teachers and scientific research can't keep up, and their graduates will definitely encounter more difficulties in employment.
Biotechnology has always been a key industrial field supported by the government, and frontier research, including cloning, has been carried out with the strong support of the government, so the employment situation of related biology majors has been developing well.
Whether in research institutions or biological companies, investment is increasing every year. Biology is an interdisciplinary subject. With the rapid development of science and technology, the division of disciplines is becoming more and more detailed, and the interdisciplinary nature of disciplines is becoming stronger and stronger. Many emerging disciplines related to biology are in the ascendant. In addition, applied disciplines related to biology include public health, food, nutrition and so on. And the talent gap is bigger than that of basic research. ?
Biological science major:
The major of biological science aims to cultivate senior professionals with good basic theories, knowledge and skills of modern life science, who can engage in industries such as industry, medicine, food, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, environmental protection, gardening, etc., and engage in applied research, technology development, production and management and administrative management related to biological science and biotechnology.
This major requires students to have a solid foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry, master the basic theory, knowledge and technology of systems biology science, have received systematic professional theory and skills training, and have good scientific research, technology development, teaching and management capabilities. Employment direction: agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery enterprises: biological research, biotechnology, production management, technology development; Pharmaceutical enterprises: bioengineering, biopharmaceuticals, biochemical experiments; Educational enterprises: biology teachers, teaching and research of biological products, etc.
Graduates can choose biochemistry and molecular biology, botany, cell biology, genetics, subject teaching (biology), biological science, biotechnology and ecology, medicine, agriculture and other fields.
