Zhang feels lucky, because his major in landscape architecture is one of the most popular majors in Beilin University, and his admission score is about 30 points higher than the school average.
There are about 120 students in all grades of Zhang major, and the School of Landscape Architecture of Beilin College where this major is located has four majors, including gardening and gardening, with nearly 2000 students. Mr. Chen Junyu, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and a professor at Beilin University, said that China attaches great importance to the cultivation of landscape architecture talents, and various specialties such as fruit trees and vegetables are relatively complete.
According to incomplete statistics, there are about 80 universities offering landscape architecture specialty in China, and more and more high school students voluntarily apply for landscape architecture specialty in the college entrance examination. "I like this industry, and it is relatively easy to find a job." Zhang said that he came to Shenyang to observe and study the World Expo.
China is known as the mother of world gardens, and China once led the world in plant species resources and breeding technology. However, in the past century, China's horticultural level has obviously lagged behind developed countries such as Europe and America. At present, in this respect, China is still in its infancy.
In recent years, China's economy has developed rapidly and steadily. Both urban and rural areas have invested a lot of money in environmental construction. From the development of residential areas to the increase of urban parks, the demand for talents in landscape industry is increasing.
Professor Zhou, director of the Department of Landscape Architecture of the Forestry College of Shenyang Agricultural University, told the reporter that his students don't have to go to the talent market to find jobs after graduation, and many landscape companies come to the school to invite important people.
There are 90 students in three classes in the main school of Landscape Architecture of Shenyang Agricultural University, 60 students in two classes in the branch school, and 60 students in two classes belong to adult education. "This major has a high enrollment rate. When the enrollment ratio is high, seven students need 1. " Zhou said to him. Zhou told reporters that the landscape architecture major is very rich, integrating aesthetics, art and engineering. Many students fell in love with it as soon as they got in touch with it, and decided to do this major for life.
Compared with most other majors, the income of landscape architecture graduates will increase rapidly. "When they first started employment, their monthly income was about 1 0,000 yuan to 1 500 yuan, but after five years, their annual income will increase to 50,000 yuan to 1 0,000 yuan. No one knows how much money experienced graduates earn. " Zhou said to him.
Although the enrollment of landscape architecture majors is very hot, Zhou told reporters that they don't want to expand the enrollment scale and meet the requirements of teaching facilities. It is irresponsible for students to enroll too many students.
On the other hand, Professor Chen Junyu is worried that some universities in China pay too much attention to cultivating high-quality, cutting-edge and top-notch talents, but not enough to cultivate students' practical ability and practical skills, and students' basic practical ability is poor. In fact, this is the same problem of different majors in China University.
