- The latest school rankings for history majors
In the university rankings for this major, the top three are Fudan University, Beijing Normal University, and Peking University.
Fudan University: The Department of History is one of the departments with the longest history in Fudan University.
Beijing Normal University: The History College of Beijing Normal University has become an important base for domestic history teaching and research. It is one of the earliest institutions in the country to set up a post-doctoral mobile station and to obtain the right to grant a doctorate degree in the first-level discipline of history.
Peking University: As a famous university, Peking University itself has a very good academic atmosphere. Even if it is a history major with a relatively low employment, there is no need to worry about work problems. After graduation, you can choose to teach in government agencies, press and publications, companies, and universities. Bo, go abroad.
In addition to the above well-known schools, the following schools are also very good for history majors:
Second, the career direction of history majors
History teachers (primary and secondary schools): the best choice for history-major students in normal education;
Civil servants and public institution personnel (including historical researchers): Participate in the annual civil servant and public institution examinations, starting from the grassroots level. Life in the system is about taking one step at a time, and patience, talent, and opportunities are indispensable;
Corporate executives: History majors, Chinese majors and management majors are all well-known panacea majors, but whether you are applying for general administrative personnel, human resources personnel or secretaries, a beautiful resume is essential. Possess certain social and writing skills;
Party and government organs: However, such institutions require applicants to be party members, and there are not many places for students majoring in history to join the party;
Institute of History: However, institutions such as the Institute of History often require applicants to have a graduate degree or above;
Media industry: However, the recruitment information of media organizations generally states that only graduates majoring in Chinese and journalism are recruited;
Museums, but institutions such as museums have certain requirements on the height of job applicants, and require applicants to be no less than 170cm tall;
Self-employment: It requires a certain amount of financial support, which is difficult.
What are the employment prospects for history majors in the future?
The employment is narrow, it is difficult to get ahead, and the bench is cold
Narrow employment: probably clerical and further education. There are many types of clerical jobs, such as corporate clerks, libraries, institutions, etc. Among them, institutions are now basically graduate students or above, and the most are history teachers and Sinology teachers (institutions). Some of them continue to study.
It’s hard to get ahead: I don’t talk about undergraduate history, and I can’t even touch the threshold of history. Even graduate students are difficult to be famous in their own fields. Examinations should be the only way to do academic history, so if you want to take history as your career, be prepared to read all the way to the end.
Cold Bench: When you have made a little money in the same period, you have made a small down payment to buy a house, buy a car, start a family and have children, and you are still looking for materials in the library to read materials and accumulate materials, you will not feel sad, or full of sadness and hope at the same time , believe that you have a bright future, then you are suitable for reading history.
Finally, I would like to tell this student who wants to major in history, there are many college graduates who do not match their majors. Even if you change careers later, there are still many ways out. As long as you find the right direction, find your interests, and do not give up halfway frequently Job-hopping, this world always has your side.
