Compared with high school, the academic burden of college students is relatively relaxed. China's higher education system, in particular, is strict in entrance and wide in exit. Basically, you can graduate as long as you pass the examination. But getting a diploma doesn't mean learning real skills. To truly make wealth settle down in a university, science classes are needed.

First of all, professional courses should be firmly grasped. The so-called professional courses are the core courses closely related to their own majors. In these classes, you will learn something that non-professional students can't learn, and that is your core competitiveness. If you plan to take your major as a career in the future, you must learn these subjects well. Students who are preparing for postgraduate entrance examination or going abroad for further study in the future need to pay more attention, because professional core courses are also the main consideration when selecting topics for postgraduate entrance examination and foreign institutions.

In addition, use elective courses to expand their cognitive boundaries. Different from high school, universities will provide students with various elective courses, which are often offered by well-known teachers in the school. Some are introductory courses for other majors, such as introduction to biology, introduction to economics and so on. Some courses satisfy interests, such as ancient seal cutting and classical music appreciation. There are also quite practical skills courses, such as excel and paper typesetting.

You can choose optional courses that can enrich your knowledge structure according to your own needs, and increase your reserves and cultivate your skills while learning this major well.

Finally, deepen knowledge through self-study. In the university, except for classes, teachers basically don't urge students to study too much. Therefore, it is better for college students to use more leisure time to deepen and consolidate the classroom content. You can also get some certificates related to your future career during college, which will increase the stepping stone to job hunting. Extensive reading is also necessary. College may be the only time in a person's life when he has time to study as he pleases. He reads more books, and life naturally has a way out.
