What's your major in life science?
The main courses of life science major are cell biology, heredity and evolution, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, physiology, embryology, immunology, ecology, animal behavior, plant morphology, molecular evolutionary chemistry, neuroscience, animal and plant physiology, embryo biology, environmental ecology, bioinformatics, tissue biology and so on.

At present, more than 100 universities in China have set up biological science majors, such as China University of Science and Technology, Peking University and other important comprehensive universities, which also provide corresponding opportunities for further study.

The country and society have a demand for this major and attach great importance to it. Judging from the development trend, the employment prospect of this major is still considerable. However, as far as individual employment is concerned, there are still some objective problems. Let's take a look at the employment direction of biological sciences.

0 1 teacher

At present, colleges and universities are developing into comprehensive universities, so the demand for biology teachers is also increasing. Colleges and universities have higher requirements for academic qualifications, and it is difficult to enter universities or key universities in first-tier cities after graduation. Because of the college entrance examination reform, biology class occupies a relatively heavy weight in the "3+X" model. As a graduate student, as long as he has good expressive ability and professional skills, he still has certain advantages in applying for the post of middle school teacher.

02 civil servants

Biology-related, you can apply for quality supervision bureau, environmental protection bureau, inspection and quarantine bureau, health bureau, customs and other departments. This kind of position needs a long time to prepare for the exam, and it takes a long time to interview and review after the exam, and the number of recruits is small and the competition is fierce.

Doctor 03

Working in the laboratory of the hospital. Hospital laboratory is now called medical laboratory, and it is also a work unit related to biology. Clinical examination room and outpatient routine room: blood, urine, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, etc. Biochemical room: generally, it is from hard work, because the machine is doing it; Immune room: ELISA for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, AIDS and syphilis. Cell room: coagulation test and bone marrow slice classification detection; Blood bank: cross matching, blood type, etc.

04 technician

Technical personnel in wineries, soy sauce factories, vinegar factories, biopharmaceuticals and other enterprises. Generally, as long as you have a master's degree in fermentation engineering, most of the positions are technicians, and the work is hard. But now many wineries have good benefits, such as Tsingtao Brewery, Changyu Brewery, Tianjin Dynasty Brewery and Wuliangye Brewery, so the wages of these positions are not low, and they can basically become technical backbones after working for two years.

05 medical representative

Medical representatives are responsible for the promotion of related drugs. In China, the emergence of medical representatives is of great significance. Pharmaceutical manufacturers hope that medical professionals can explain the performance of new drugs to doctors and inform them of contraindications, so as to guide doctors to use drugs correctly and improve the sales of drugs.

06 laboratory technician

It is necessary to master microbiology, biology or related professional knowledge, master relevant skills such as aseptic inspection and microbial limit inspection, understand the verification of microbial inspection methods, and it is best to conduct endotoxin inspection and strain identification, and understand GMP and related drug laws and regulations. The work of microbial chemists requires a serious and meticulous attitude.

07 scientific research personnel

Biotechnology service companies generally focus on primer synthesis and sequencing, and their work is mainly to operate sequencers and synthesizers. In such a working environment, you can learn some skills and cultivate good scientific research ability.
