Recently, the Ministry of Education announced the registration and approval results of undergraduate majors in general colleges and universities in 2023, and released the catalog of undergraduate majors in general colleges and universities in 2024. What is different from the past is that 24 new majors have been added this time. These new majors will be piloted for enrollment in 54 colleges and universities this year. As soon as the new major
24 was released, it immediately became a hot topic of discussion. Among them, the "Coffee Science and Engineering" major applied by Yunnan Agricultural University was successfully included in the catalog of undergraduate majors in general colleges and universities (2024), becoming the first professional point in the country and even the world to launch coffee undergraduate talent training.
Why should we set up a "coffee major"? This has a lot to do with the vigorous development of our country's current coffee industry and coffee consumption market. Data shows that my country's coffee market will reach 600 billion yuan in 2023, and is expected to maintain rapid growth in the next few years, and is expected to reach 1 trillion yuan in 2025. But right now, on several major recruitment websites, coffee-related positions such as coffee trainers and barista supervisors are in short supply.
What do “Coffee Bachelors” learn? According to Yunnan Agricultural University, the coffee science and engineering major is a national specialty and is a major set up to meet the special needs of economic and social development. The first-level discipline is food science and engineering (subject code is 082713t), and the degree awarding category is "engineering". The four-year academic program focuses on cultivating comprehensive talents with R&D and engineering design capabilities for new coffee products, new processes and new technologies.
This major has 24 full-time teachers, including 8 professors and 10 doctors. It has built a high-standard teaching practice base and laboratory inside and outside the school, published 2 "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" textbooks, and established "Drunk Beauty Yunnan Coffee". 》Online courses, 3 offline courses including "Coffee Processing", "Coffee Blending" and "Coffee Roasting and Tasting" have been offered offline.
New majors will be recruited on a pilot basis for the college entrance examination this year.
It can be seen from the 24 new majors established this time that a considerable number of them are closely related to the terms new quality productivity, new industrialization, and cutting-edge talents. This year is not the first time that a major has been added like this. It is understood that colleges and universities in my country carry out the work of adding, adjusting and canceling majors every year. This year, a total of 3,389 professional points were added, withdrawn, and adjusted, with 1,673 new points and 1,670 canceled points. It can be said that this is the largest number of professional adjustments so far. So which schools have established new majors in this year’s college entrance examination?

Song Wensheng, deputy dean of the School of Microelectronics of Southwest Jiaotong University:
The high-power semiconductor science and engineering major is oriented to the strategic needs of the national industrial semiconductor industry. It is used in new energy, rail transit, electric vehicles, industrial automation data centers and artificial intelligence computing. These areas of power supply have huge development potential. The initial enrollment plan is about 100 people.
Zhu Liangkuan, Dean of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Northeast Forestry University: The selection of
’s new agricultural and forestry intelligent equipment engineering major is in response to the country’s major needs for food security and ecological civilization construction, and also considers assisting local economic construction. Registration will be available in June this year, and enrollment will be nationwide. The initial plan is to enroll 60 places.
Expert interpretation: Multiple parties work together to optimize the talent supply and demand structure
Data shows that the number of college graduates in my country will reach 11.58 million in 2023, and this year’s graduates are expected to increase by 210,000 to reach 11.79 million, which can be said to hit a new record high . Faced with the increasing number of graduates, matching student skills with market demand is currently a thorny issue. Experts say that if we want talents to quickly adapt to the market, the establishment of new majors is only the first step.
In addition, the process of implementing new majors also requires the joint efforts of many parties to better cultivate the talents needed by the industry.
