Why are strong foundation projects all unpopular majors?

Mainly because the majors of the Strong Foundation Program are all basic research majors, and they are all engaged in national research work in the future, which requires high academic qualifications, so they are basically unpopular majors.

The reason why the strong foundation plan will be implemented is to highlight the supporting and leading role of basic disciplines in the national strategic needs. The enrollment majors of strong foundation program in colleges and universities are mainly related majors such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, informatics, biology, history, philosophy, ancient philology and so on.

If you want to say which ones are popular, it mainly depends on personal hobbies. Even if some graduates are popular in society, if they are not interested, they may not have enough motivation to learn well, so they are not competitive after graduation. Teachers can consider the following two types of majors:

(1) Mathematics major: Mathematics and applied mathematics, information and computational science are the main mathematics majors enrolled in the Strong Foundation Program, among which mathematics and applied mathematics belong to basic disciplines, while information and computational mathematics and mathematical basic science belong to interdisciplinary disciplines. The training direction of this major focuses on high-end chips and software, intelligent technology, national security and advanced manufacturing. In the future, you can engage in technical positions in related industries, such as actuaries, banks, securities, programmers, data analysts and so on.

(2) Physics major: there are mainly two majors: physics and applied physics. The training direction focuses on high-end chips and software, intelligent technology, national security, advanced manufacturing, new materials and other fields. They have advantages in employment and can enter universities, national defense departments and scientific research institutions. Engaged in teaching research and related scientific research management, or technical development and application research in the fields of enterprise material science and engineering, electronic information technology, etc.
