Can I change my major when studying in the UK? As far as I know, studying in Britain is very common, but if you need to change your major, you need to make preparations in advance and consider it in detail. Let's take a look at the situation and precautions of changing majors in Britain. I hope it helps you. Welcome to reading.

I. Changes in the major of studying in the UK:

The difficulty coefficient of changing majors to study business is the lowest.

Under normal circumstances, liberal arts students can transfer to business when they go abroad. However, special attention should be paid to transferring to finance. Finance major is a science course with mathematics as the means in Britain. Generally, students are required to have studied mathematics and achieved good results. The requirements of different schools are slightly different. (Exeter University, Bath University, Glasgow University, Leeds University, Newcastle University, Birmingham University, Essex University, etc. They are all outstanding in the fields of finance and commerce. )

There are many majors that liberal arts students can change.

There are many majors that liberal arts students can choose to change when studying abroad. Students majoring in science and technology language can transfer to mass media, translation, journalism, foreign language education and other majors; Students majoring in science, literature, history, philosophy and sociology can turn to journalism, accounting and marketing. Recommended schools are: Sheffield University, Nottingham Trent University, Leicester University and Kingsmith University.

Science students should be cautious when changing majors.

There are many students majoring in science, and their professional achievements are very good, but they choose business major on the grounds of good employment prospects. Since the employment prospects of most science students' graduates are quite good, it is suggested that science students, if they are not particularly interested in their original major, may consider continuing their further studies in this major, or changing their major has a certain connection with their original major. For example, students majoring in science and biology can choose biology-related nutrition and pharmacy if they find it difficult to study medicine.

In this case, on the one hand, it will not waste the knowledge reserve at the undergraduate stage; On the other hand, it is also conducive to future employment. Because at least 60% of China students studying in the UK in recent years have chosen business, and the employment competition of these students will be very fierce in the next few years; However, the enrollment of science majors is relatively small, and the employment space is obviously larger.

How do English majors choose their major?

Undergraduate students majoring in English in China often feel confused when choosing the major direction of postgraduate students in British universities, because there is no pure English major in British universities that matches the English major in China, so many students are faced with the confusion of choosing a new major.

Second, the British master's study abroad major selection considerations:

Choose your favorite and interested major.

Many children's shoes don't think about what major to study in advance, but follow the footsteps of the public. In recent years, business majors have maintained a hot application trend.

As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. Observation Jun thinks that you should first choose your major according to your own interests. Only by combining your professional expertise and hobbies and choosing a major that is easier to play and grasp can you learn more easily and have a greater chance of success.

In fact, whether it is a popular major or an unpopular major, it will not remain the same. Although majors such as finance, economic management and marketing are sought after by students, the competition for admission is also fierce, and some professional fields are saturated with talents. Therefore, we should not blindly pursue popularity when choosing a major, but should start from whether it is conducive to employment and choose a major with development potential according to the domestic and international economic development trends and talent market trends.

Avoid choosing a big and wide major.

Many students like to choose majors such as finance, trade and computer science. In fact, this kind of major focuses on theoretical research and generally does not have strong applicability and operability, so the employment area is relatively narrow. Therefore, you can choose some subdivided, cross-cutting and practical majors, such as actuarial science, insurance, asset evaluation, information management and e-commerce.

It should be reminded that you can't just choose a major after choosing a school because you admire the "fame" or ranking position of a university.

Clear professional curriculum to prevent confusion.

Many students may be familiar with the majors they are interested in, but some courses have the same or similar names and may have different contents.

For example, for British schools, communication actually represents two different majors, one is electronic communication (science major) and the other is communication (liberal arts major). The communication major of Manchester University is electronic communication. Therefore, before going abroad, you should carefully read the courses on the websites of British schools or choose schools and majors under the guidance of professional study consultants.
