The Alevel/AP exam in May is getting closer and closer, and some students only think about how to meet the requirements of the university, but they are indifferent to the choice of major.
But you may not know that choosing a major not only determines the future job search direction, but also is of great significance to students who want to take the public examination/examination editor!
With the increase in the number of public examinations/examination editors year by year, the registration for examinations in today's system is becoming more and more stringent.
For example, many applicants will not even be able to pass the resume pass because of reasons such as "the name of the major does not match the professional code of the position being recruited".
So which units/positions in the system prefer to recruit art talents, and which art majors are more advantageous in entering the system?
#1
Definition of "within the system".
M50 Winland Art
In addition to civil servants (administrative establishment), the "system" also includes personnel participating in public service (i.e., personnel managed with reference to the Civil Servants Law) and personnel of public institutions (i.e., career establishment).
Therefore, the units within the system are also divided into two categories: government agencies and subordinate units, and public institutions.
Among them, there are many types of public institutions, and according to their functions, the main types of positions that include art students are mainly the following:
Museum class
In the museum, positions involving ancient calligraphy and painting research, ancient architecture research, cultural relics protection and restoration, calligraphy research and other positions will be recruited for art and design majors.
It should be noted that there are many majors corresponding to these skills, so when choosing a major, you should focus on the curriculum.
Wenlan Art Student Y got an offer from Cardiff University's collection nursing major last year:
Art gallery category
Art museums (art museums) are the most suitable types of public institutions for art students to find jobs, and the main positions include curation, outreach planning and introduction, art research, theoretical researchers, etc.
Theatre class
Theater institutions mainly recruit students in the performing arts, and the positions mainly include actors, stage design, costume design, director, external publicity, etc.
Theatres here include the Drama Theatre, the Opera House, the Drama Theatre, the Song and Dance Theatre, the Quyi Theatre and many more.
Unlike museums and art galleries, although theaters are public institutions, not every position has an establishment, and there are also many contract positions.
Design Institute
The design institute is also a public institution, mainly for the recruitment of architectural art talents, such as architectural designers, landscape designers, urban planners, etc.;
In addition to the design institute, the institute is also a similar institution, and the scope of positions is mainly in emerging fields, such as interaction design, information design, new materials/textile design and other fields of design talents.
Colleges and universities
College positions are special:
At present, although the teachers of formal public colleges and universities have career establishments, with the reform of the teaching staff, it is uncertain whether there will be any establishment in the future.
At present, it is more certain that teachers in the compulsory education stage are still career establishments, and art candidates can apply for the examination.

Different from enterprise recruitment, the first step in recruitment by public institutions is to conduct a qualification review of the applicant's academic qualifications and professional qualifications.
At this time, the choice of major is extremely important.
So what majors are the most commonly recruited for career editor positions?
1
Arts Management
Art management is the most commonly recruited major in art museums, art galleries and other public institutions.
As an interdisciplinary discipline, arts management is based on art and integrates management, economics, accounting and other related courses, with the aim of connecting art products with the external market.
In general, graduates majoring in arts management can be responsible for the marketing and promotion of artworks, exhibition planning, financing, public relations, project operations, etc.
2
Art History & Curation
Art history and curation are often grouped together in many colleges and universities, and are the most common professional positions in the art exhibition process.
Whether it is a museum, art gallery or other institutions, or independent artists, if you want to make the exhibition successful, it is indispensable for the curator to coordinate between different brands, cultures, projects and products, as well as to control the progress of the entire project.
However, it should be noted that in terms of recruitment within the system, most positions require curators to have a master's degree.
At present, there is no master's degree in curating in China, so the vast majority of students majoring in curating will transfer to the art history major when they are admitted to graduate school, and the study and research content of the two majors are similar, and the probability of landing is also higher.
Wenlan art student W also successfully got offers from the University of Southampton and the University of Birmingham in the UK:
So if you want to choose an art history major from the undergraduate level, so that you can enter the position "in the system" faster and more steadily, how can you prepare now?

In addition to the above two most common majors, with the development of domestic short videos, many visual majors have now become the favored objects of positions in the system.
Let's take a look at the data of the 2024 national examination:
3
Film and Television Photography & Production
Among the positions recruited in this year's national examination, there are 12 counterpart positions in film and television photography and production, and a total of 181 positions that can be applied for, ranking first among all art majors.
With the rapid development of short video and mobile Internet in China, whether it is a government agency or a public institution, many propaganda positions need all-round talents in the new media direction who "know photography, can shoot, edit, and even live broadcast".
And this coincides with the learning content of the film and television photography production major.
The major of film and television photography and production is an interdisciplinary and complex major, which also includes photography, film and television production, digital media art (online media and visual direction), digital media technology (multimedia technology and graphics processing direction), art and technology and other fields.
It is precisely because of the wide range of knowledge that the talents cultivated in this major often have more flexible technical transfer capabilities and are more in line with the requirements of civil servant positions.
Among the overseas colleges and universities that offer film and television production majors, the first refers to the American colleges and universities with geographical advantages.
For example, New York University's Tisch School of Art is not only ranked as one of the best art schools in the United States, but also one of its strongest majors is film.
In addition, the University of Southern California, located on the West Coast of the United States, is known for its film and television studies, and is not only located in Hollywood, but also has the strongest alumni network in the film and television industry, which can provide students with many high-value internship and job opportunities.
In the UK, universities such as Lunyi-LCC School of Media, the University of Glasgow, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Bristol, and Goldsmiths, University of London, also offer related majors and are well-known in the industry.

animation
Among the positions recruited for the 2024 national examination, there are 4 counterpart positions in animation, and the total number of positions that can be applied for is 173, ranking second only to film and television photography and production.
In foreign countries, animation majors are generally divided into three main directions:
First of all, most comprehensive universities do not distinguish the specific direction of animation, collectively referred to as "animation", and this kind of major often has no directional restrictions, and encourages students to experience the application of animation in different experimental visual media.
Secondly, the animation character modeling major is also one of the common directions of foreign animation majors, which is "specially prepared for artists or illustrators who want to make inspiration 'move'", so it is very suitable for students who have no animation foundation to apply.
Finally, 3D computer animation is the direction favored by more enterprises, and its research objects are mainly 3D animation technology involved in film, television, games, and interactive applications, which has higher requirements for science and engineering knowledge.
There are many foreign colleges and universities that offer animation majors, and the most well-known ones include:
- Canada: Sheridan College, Emily Carr University of Art and Design
- UK: London Arts LCC, London Arts Central Saint Martins, Royal College of Art, University of Hertfordshire University, Bournemouth University, Teesside University, etc
- United States: California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), Rielin School of the Arts, School of Visual Arts (SVA), Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), etc
So in the face of different countries and colleges, what elements should be included in each animation portfolio?

Visual Communication Design
In this year's national examination, there are 7 counterpart positions in visual communication design, with 25 candidates and a total of 105 positions, second only to film and television photography production and animation.
Different from the situation of animation majors, there are some domestic universities that are not inferior to foreign universities in the field of visual communication, but considering the difficulty of entering these top domestic universities, for most "ordinary people", foreign visual communication schools still have an absolute advantage in terms of quantity.
Like what:
- Glasgow School of Art, Kingston University, Loughborough University, University of Southampton, University of Leeds, etc.;
- Maryland Institute of Art, Pratt Institute, Art Institute of Chicago, Art Center School of Design, etc.;
They are all among the world's leading universities in the field of visual communication, but the competition is much lower than that of the "Central Qingguo" in China.
