beijing’s universities are becoming increasingly sensitive to market changes and social demands.16new registration and approval for municipal universities this year28of the undergraduate majors, engineering majors with the keywords "new energy" and "intelligence" account for the majority. in the new semester, capital medical university, beijing information science and technology university and beijing agricultural college3of colleges and universities3the newly added majors welcomed their first batch of freshmen. among them, the biological breeding technology major of the college of agriculture is one of the newly added undergraduate majors in the country, and welcomed 30 freshmen.

yang dingning is a freshman majoring in biological breeding technology. she applied for this major in pursuit of a "star": "grandpa yuan longping is my role model! i hope that through learning, i can cultivate more fine varieties like him and help protect national food security." although they are still in military training, she and her classmates have already started to select courses. in addition to professional basic courses such as genetics, cell biology, and plant molecular breeding, they also have to take interdisciplinary knowledge such as big data and artificial intelligence.

the adjustment of a school actually reflects the reason for the largest-scale adjustment of undergraduate majors in general colleges and universities in history this year. in march this year, the ministry of education announced the results of the registration and approval of undergraduate majors in general colleges and universities in 2023. the addition, cancellation and adjustment of undergraduate majors involved a total of 3,389 majors. the ministry of education made it clear that the purpose is to optimize college majors, reflect the characteristics of interdisciplinary integration, and provide strong support for the cultivation of top innovative talents in the future.

the focus is now on beijing. in the registration and approval of majors in municipal colleges and universities, engineering majors with the word "smart" in their names accounted for about30%other new majors include management majors such as computational finance at beijing technology and business university, economic majors such as digital economy at capital university of economics and business, art majors such as musicals at beijing dance academy, and education majors such as applied psychology at beijing union university...

in addition to the biological breeding technology major of the college of agriculture, the intelligent medical engineering major of the capital medical university and the intelligent interaction design major of the university of information science and technology also welcomed the first batch of students in the new semester. the former will cultivate talents with a cross-disciplinary background in medicine, engineering, and information technology. students need to master the basic knowledge of medicine and life sciences and learn cutting-edge technologies in intelligent medicine such as artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, intelligent perception, and big data. the latter integrates disciplines such as mechanical engineering, design, computer science and technology, and cultivates talents who can engage in planning, design, operation, testing, and other work in application scenarios such as intelligent product design, complex system interface design, cultural digital design, and artificial intelligence creative design.
