What are the employment directions of astronomy major? 1. Continue your studies. For those students who are interested in astronomy research and teaching for a long time, it is undoubtedly the best and necessary choice to continue to study and enhance their knowledge reserve and research ability. At present, many well-known universities in China, such as Nanjing University, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Xiamen University and Shanghai Jiaotong University, many well-known universities abroad, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley, and many well-known international and domestic scientific research institutes, such as National Astronomical Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Purple Mountain Observatory and Max Planck Institute of Astronomy and Cosmic Physics, are recruiting graduate students in related fields.
2. Enter interdisciplinary related departments and enterprises. Astronomy is an interdisciplinary subject with aerospace, geodesy, national defense and other applied disciplines, and the related enterprises of these disciplines (such as the 14th Institute of China Electronics Technology Corporation, Shanghai Aerospace Systems Engineering Institute, Beijing Institute of Remote Sensing Information, etc.). There is also a great demand for outstanding astronomy graduates every year. Students can choose to work in these places after graduation.
3, into the science and technology magazines, publishing houses, websites and other editing work. Astronomy majors attach great importance to cultivating students' data collection, massive data processing and excellent computer operation ability at the undergraduate level. However, some sci-tech magazines, publishing houses and websites (such as China University of Science and Technology Press, Shanghai Century Publishing Co., Ltd. Science and Technology Education Press and the science and technology channels of major commercial websites) have great demand for talents with professional knowledge. So this is also an employment direction for astronomy graduates.
4. enter the IT industry. Astronomy majors attach great importance to cultivating students' computer operation and application ability at the undergraduate level, and graduates can also choose to enter their favorite IT companies for employment.
5. Enter the financial industry for employment. Most graduates majoring in astronomy have a solid mathematical foundation and the ability of logical operation and analysis. Many financial enterprises (such as PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhongtian Certified Public Accountants, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, Bank of China Limited, Guolian Securities, etc.). ) are eager for outstanding graduates with these advantages. This is also a choice direction.
6. Get a civil servant. At present, many civil servants (such as seismological bureau, meteorological bureau, customs, etc.). ) There is a certain demand for outstanding college graduates with strong professional skills. Students of this major can also choose to take the civil service examination after graduation.
7. Enter middle schools to engage in natural science teaching or enter science and technology museums and museums to engage in social teaching. These units now have a great demand for talents with strong professional skills.
What are the precautions for applying for astronomy? First, astronomy, as a hobby, can add a lot of fun to life, but once it becomes a major, the romantic fantasy about the starry sky becomes a difficult course such as mathematics, physics and computer. Learning astronomy requires a good foundation in physics and mathematics.
Second, there are not many universities offering astronomy majors in China, which are generally distributed in normal universities and some famous comprehensive universities. The Astronomy Department of Nanjing University has the longest history, the most comprehensive professional setting, the most comprehensive academic level, the strongest faculty and the largest number of trained talents, and it is also the only national astronomical talent training base in China.
Peking University Astronomy Department has two training directions: astrophysics and astronomical high technology and its application. The Peking University and the Beijing Astrophysics Center established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences form an organic whole with the Department, and they work together to give full play to their respective advantages.
Third, people with the following diseases or physical defects should not apply: color blindness; Can not accurately identify red, yellow, green, blue and purple lines, letters, numbers, geometric figures and signal lights.
