Stanford new major
Recently, Stanford University in the United States announced the opening of a new undergraduate major - Data Science (Data Science).
The original intention of opening this new major, Debra, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, Stanford University, School of Arts and Sciences, Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dean of Stanford University Satz said: "Today, data is produced at the latest speed, and researchers can also be exposed to unprecedented orders of magnitude. The way we train data scientists should also change. Students who choose data science major at will lay an excellent foundation in quantitative analysis; learn to solve
interdisciplinary problems by using data; understand the ethical meaning of data acquisition and interpretation and machine algorithms that can produce deviations.
data science major at is managed by the school , providing students with two training paths/degree options for Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts (BA).
BA, among which Bachelor of Science (BS) training path is suitable for students who are interested in solving various problems through analysis and quantitative models. Students who choose this course path are suitable for students who continue their studies in computer, statistics and other fields after graduation or engage in quantitative analysis in IT and finance industries.
Bachelor of Arts (BA) training path is suitable for students who are interested in statistics, computer and social sciences. Through the learning of data science
, students can better master quantitative analysis and have a deeper understanding of human behavior.
However, no matter which path is chosen, students need to take a compulsory course in mathematics, computer, statistics and ethics compulsory courses in math, computer, statistics and ethics.
In terms of elective courses, BS The paths can be selected for computers, statistics, economy, management engineering and other directions; the BA paths can be selected for law, media, urban systems, global poverty and development, public health, education, etc. At the same time, Stanford University has approved the construction of a new data science and computing building, which will be used by teachers and students in data science majors in the future.
Data Department As an independent discipline, learning requires the flexibility to apply knowledge in multiple fields such as mathematics, statistics, and computers. Anyone who applied this year wants to challenge it?

They have unique knowledge building on the essence and quantitative methods of politics, and can understand and effectively communicate political behavior and dynamics with other professionals or the general public.
Project students will learn a complete set of rigorous and tailored political science and quantitative analysis application courses to cultivate them to model and analyze political behavior. In order to help them understand, explain and influence political actions, the skills required, and help them understand, explain and influence their political actions.
The project is designed for 1 year and there is no mandatory requirement for application for professional background. This major is partial to analysis, so there are many quantitative and analysis courses, so it is not a pure liberal arts course.

UK student funding survey results
UK Save the Student Group released the 2022 Student Money Survey 2022-Results, revealing the huge pressure brought to students by the cost of living crisis.
This report mainly introduces students' economic situation and difficulties from the aspects of students' economic difficulties, students' use of food banks, regional student living expenses, student loan channels, students' money making channels, students' dropout situation, and graduation life expectations. The results of the
survey show that the increase in the cost of living for students is higher than the national average inflation level. Since 2021, the cost of living for students has increased by 14%, with an average of £924 per person per month, and in London, the average monthly cost of £1,089 per month.
At the same time, the living loan for ordinary students is 439 pounds lower than living expenses, which is a significant increase in the difference between loans and living expenses this year compared with £340 last year.
Survey results show that one in every 10 students used a food bank in the last school year. 82% of students are worried about making ends meet. 80% of people have considered dropping out of college, and 52% of students consider dropping out of school is because of concerns about funding.
, a Russell Alliance, which consists of 20 research universities including Oxford University and Cambridge University , said that the funding gap for student loans is very serious, calling for increasing living loan levels based on current inflation and providing targeted services to students in need most.
The British government also called for attention to college students with heavy financial burdens. A spokesman for the UK's Ministry of Education said that the UK increases living loans every year to support the cost of living for students, meaning that poor students can now get the highest amount of cash loans ever.
College students who are inadequate in living expenses can express their demands to the school, and universities can use the £261 million we provide to the Office for Students to solve the plight of students.
Economic winter, students must learn to arrange their funding plans ~
