Personal learning experience
? ? The information security major is still very good, with great potential for development and employment.
Personally, I think that if you want to study the major of Principal Security, either you have a very strong interest (for example, I was interested in information security in my freshman year). This interest does not mean that hackers are cool before you learn to be safe, but that every time you understand a new knowledge, you feel satisfied and happy. Either you have a very fast learning ability, and there are new loopholes on the network, which need you to reappear quickly and understand its principle.
If you are sure you want to study information security, I suggest you visit CTF's top ten schools. Generally, the information security of these schools is very strong. Tsinghua, Tongji, Beihou and Xidian are recommended here, depending on your own situation.

What exactly is the information security major?
? ? Simply put, information security is an interdisciplinary subject, involving mathematical physics (cryptography), information security, communication and electronic science (group planning) and other related professional knowledge.
In fact, before my junior year, the basic courses of information security and computer science and technology were similar, and I usually attended classes with a group of computer majors. However, it will be different in the future. The design department is more inclined to hardware, and the principal is more inclined to software, and will offer some courses that look very suitable for security, such as modern cryptography, network security and so on.
What do you major in information security?
Principal is similar to the basic computer courses in the previous two years, such as advanced mathematics, discretization, number theory, big things and so on. In terms of programming, C, C++ and java languages have nothing to say, and they are all required. On the computer side, the principle of computer composition and digital logic are also studied together by two majors. There are also related theoretical courses, such as data structure, database and so on.
After that, the content of Xin 'an is different from that of Ji 'an. For example, I will also study modern cryptography, introduction to information theory and information security engineering. You can also have a brief look at my sophomore schedule.
What is the employment prospect of information security?
Judging from the situation in recent years, there is no need to worry about the employment of principals and students. The headmaster of our school recruits 30 people every year, and the employment rate over the years is 100%, and the treatment is good (after all, it belongs to the accounting category). It can be used for development or security in the future.
In some countries, industries that are the lifeblood of the economy, such as finance and communication, have paid more and more attention to information security in recent years.
I plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination or aim at the principal, and then enter the related IT software industry.
