At present, the major of financial engineering is not the only seed of economics, but also occupies a place in the School of Science. At present, some universities in China also have master's degrees in financial mathematics under the branch of probability and statistics.
Personally, although the financial major seems very hot at present, the employment situation in China is not clear. As far as employment is concerned, engineering is still the most favorable. But top financial talents are really hot, but it takes a lot of effort.
1. On the application for degrees by foreign counterparts.
Foreign degrees in economics, finance and management have always been very popular, and domestic students are very fashionable. They feel that it is not enough to compete for places, not to mention the high difficulty coefficient. If the landlord insists on applying for this major, personally, it is better to learn applied mathematics. After all, all the foundations of finance lie in mathematics. Have a solid mathematical foundation and be proficient in all kinds of mathematical software. Finance also needs to establish various mathematical models to solve problems.
2. Information design majors really focus on theoretical computers, but when they enter school, teachers will also say that they can choose to focus on learning. I didn't have much interest in computers at that time, so I devoted all my energy to mathematics. Most of the boys in this major will focus on the computer field, and they will basically choose computer or software graduate students when they take the postgraduate entrance examination.
3, applied mathematics is pure mathematics, undergraduate course graduation is not suitable for employment, the vast majority of further study.
As the landlord said, I am half math and half computer, but I am a bachelor of science, and most of my undergraduate courses are for further study, which is not suitable for employment.
In statistics, I heard that some schools' statistics majors are biased towards accounting, because our school doesn't have an undergraduate course in this major, so we don't know much about the employment situation.
The direction of further study of the three majors is basically the same: economy, finance and mathematics. In addition to computers, it is also possible to go to computers.
Undergraduate majors can be studied without being too narrow. Choosing a wide-caliber major is more suitable for future transformation and development. Personally, I think the undergraduate course of statistics is a bit narrow.
No matter studying finance or actuarial science, the mathematical foundation is good, and there is an exam in actuarial science involving probability statistics.
I suggest that the landlord can consider taking an undergraduate course and reading foreign financial course textbooks in his spare time.
These are my personal suggestions. The landlord should listen to different opinions and make a comprehensive choice.
Finally, good luck.
