The scores vary from province to province. The astronomy major is relatively cold, and the admission line is generally the bottom of all majors in enrollment institutions. However, there are only a handful of enrollment institutions with astronomy majors, and they are all famous schools in China. So if your grades can't reach the scores of the top key universities in China, it's impossible to go to the astronomy department.

In fact, before the establishment of the Department of Astronomy, Tsinghua University had the Astrophysics Center and the Tsinghua University Student Astronomy Association, both of which were affiliated to the Physics Department of Tsinghua University Institute of Science. Their research interests include galactic cosmology, supernova observation and time-domain astronomy, high energy astrophysics, theoretical astrophysics and gravitational wave detection.

Space astronomy and astronomical instruments have also made some contributions to the cultivation of astronomical talents. 20 14 Tsinghua University adopted a new development plan for astronomy, and clearly put forward the direction of vigorously developing astronomy and astrophysics. This time, the establishment of the Department of Astronomy will enter a substantive stage.

It will be merged into the Faculty of Science, and the Tsinghua University Astrophysics Center (virtual body) will be retained, which belongs to the Astronomy Department. At present, there are not many universities offering astronomy departments in China. In the latest round of national discipline evaluation by the Ministry of Education, six universities have the authorization of doctor of astronomy. Nanjing University and University of Science and Technology of China were rated as "A+".

Peking University got "B-", Shanghai Jiaotong University got "C+" and Beijing Normal University got "C-". Among them, the School of Astronomy and Space Science of Nanjing University has the longest history and trained the most talents. Its predecessor was the Astronomy Department of Nanjing University, which was founded in 1952. Speaking of which.

As the highest institution of science and engineering students in China, Tsinghua lacks astronomy department. On the contrary, Peking University, which is dominated by humanities next door, is relatively complete and surprising. Of course, if you particularly like Tsinghua and the Department of Astronomy, then the previous path is to enter the Department of Physics in Tsinghua University.

Then choose the astronomical direction in the postgraduate stage. Internet company giant and Tencent helm Ma especially liked astronomy when he was young. On the night when Halley's comet visited the earth, Ma was the first person in the school to see the comet. In the year of college entrance examination, he originally wanted to enter the astronomy department of the university to fulfill his dream.

Unfortunately, the teacher told him that only Nanjing University had an astronomy department at that time. Even after graduation, few people can work in the Observatory. Most people finally choose to be a geography teacher.
