2. Archaeology and Museology

With the strengthening of the country's comprehensive national strength, the demand for high-level talents in the national cultural relics, archaeology and museum system is also increasing, and it still maintains a good employment situation under the severe employment situation in the country. However, most of the graduates in previous years stayed in central cities such as Beijing, and many provinces and cities could not get relevant graduates for a long time. The one-time employment rate of graduates is above 90%, mainly concentrated in big cities, while the demand for graduates in small and medium-sized cities or regions is always in short supply.

The employment scope of graduates is mainly concentrated in the archaeological research and cultural relics administrative departments at the provincial, municipal and district levels, as well as the cultural departments of museums at all levels and systems, state and provincial and municipal organs (civil servants), universities (teachers) and publishing departments (editors and journalists).
