Professional code generally refers to the undergraduate professional catalogue of ordinary colleges and universities, which is one of the basic guiding documents of higher education, and is formulated and revised by the Ministry of Education (formerly the State Education Commission).

The division, name and category of majors are stipulated, which is an important basis for setting and adjusting majors, implementing talent training, arranging enrollment, awarding degrees, guiding employment, conducting educational statistics and predicting talent demand. Since the reform and opening up, China * * * has made four large-scale adjustments to the subject catalogue and specialty settings.

There are three main ways to query the professional codes of universities and their schools:

1. The school where senior three candidates are located will ask for an application guide, which contains the professional classification and school code of each school, as well as the school investment line in different years for your reference, and there will be some professional interpretations to facilitate candidates to understand the major they want to apply for.

2. After the college entrance examination, the school will issue a unified enrollment plan, which contains the codes of each school, the number of students enrolled in each major this year, tuition fees, etc.
