The 2023 ranking of the number of academicians and alumni of Chinese universities has been released, and a total of 162 universities are on the list. Tsinghua University and Peking University lead the way with outstanding strength and numbers, with 178 and 197 academicians and alumni respectively, which can be called a cliff-like lead. Nanjing University ranked fourth with 90 academician alumni, and Jilin University ranked eighth with 70 academician alumni. Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranks ninth among universities in China with 57 academicians and alumni. Xi'an Jiaotong University, China University of Geosciences and Southwest Jiaotong University tied for 16th, with 40 academician alumni. The University of Science and Technology Beijing ranked 27th with 28 academician alumni, and Xidian University ranked 29th with 23 academician alumni. Beijing Institute of Technology, China University of Petroleum, China University of Mining and Technology and East China University of Science and Technology occupy the 31st to 36th positions in China with 21 academicians and alumni. The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China ranks 56th in the country with 8 academician alumni.
The ranking of the number of academicians and alumni of these universities directly reflects the influence and training ability of each university in the field of science and technology. These academician alumni not only represent the academic strength of the school, but also reflect the quality of education and the ability to cultivate innovative talents. As a result, colleges and universities with a large number of academician alumni tend to enjoy a higher reputation and overall strength, and are also more popular among students and parents.
In addition to the ranking of the number of academician alumni, people also pay attention to the statistical results of the newly elected academician graduates of the two academies in 2023. Among them, Harbin Institute of Technology surpassed Tsinghua University and ranked first. From these two lists, it can be seen that most of the top-ranked universities and colleges are science and engineering schools, which once again confirms the view that science and engineering students have better employment prospects. Compared to liberal arts students, science and engineering students are more popular in the job market and are more likely to find jobs related to their majors. Science students have broader development opportunities in the fields of engineering technology, scientific research and technology development.
However, this does not mean that liberal arts students do not have a developmental advantage. If liberal arts students choose to apply for civil servants or establishment units, they can choose more positions and have a relatively better salary. Therefore, when choosing a major, students should consider their own interests and the needs of future comprehensive development, and comprehensively weigh their choices.
In general, the ranking of the number of academician alumni and the statistics of newly elected academician graduates of the two academies show the development trend and employment situation in the field of higher education in China. It is also a reminder that choosing science and engineering subjects may be more conducive to future employment and development. However, both science and engineering and liberal arts have their own unique charms and development potential, and students should make a choice based on their interests and strengths.
From the ranking of academicians and alumni of Chinese universities and the statistics of newly elected academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I can see the advantages of science and engineering disciplines in the job market. Science students are more likely to get job-related opportunities due to their strong specialization and high level of technology. At the same time, due to the broad and abstract nature of liberal arts disciplines, liberal arts students may face some challenges and difficulties in the job market.
However, I believe that the needs of the job market are dynamic, and the needs of different majors will change with the development of society and the changes in needs. Although science and engineering disciplines have good employment prospects, liberal arts disciplines also have development potential. Liberal arts students can pay attention to cultivating their comprehensive qualities, including language expression skills, interpersonal skills, logical thinking skills, etc. In the information age, these capabilities are equally important and needed.
At the same time, personal interests and career development planning are also important factors in choosing a major. Everyone has their own strengths and preferences, and choosing a major that matches their interests can improve their enthusiasm and initiative in learning, and it is easier to find fun and a sense of accomplishment in their future work.
To sum up, I believe that when choosing a major, students should fully consider their own interests, strengths, and future development needs. Whether it is a science discipline or a liberal arts discipline, they all have their own advantages and development space. The most important thing is to fully explore your potential and cultivate certain comprehensive quality and practical ability during your college years, so as to lay a solid foundation for future employment and career development.
