Secondly, the study of physics major is difficult, which requires students to have strong mathematical and logical thinking ability. However, in senior high school, due to various reasons, many students' interest and foundation in mathematics and physics are not solid, which leads them to stay away from physics when choosing university majors.
In addition, in recent years, some emerging interdisciplinary and popular majors have gradually emerged, such as computer science, finance, biomedicine and so on. These majors are often more in line with market demand, and it is easier to find high-paying jobs. In contrast, the employment prospects of physics majors may be relatively grim, which also affects the professional choice of some students.
Meanwhile, the distribution of educational resources is also an important factor. In some areas, especially in developing countries, due to the limitation of economic conditions and educational investment, the teaching resources and experimental facilities of physics major may be relatively insufficient, which will also affect students' interest and choice of this major.
Finally, the influence of public opinion and family values can not be ignored. In some people's minds, science and engineering majors are often regarded as "masculine", while women are more suitable for liberal arts or art majors. This gender stereotype limits the possibility of female students choosing physics major to some extent.
In a word, fewer and fewer people choose physics majors in universities, which is the result of many factors. In order to improve the attraction of physics major, we must reform the education system, optimize the curriculum, improve the teaching quality and stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm in physics.
