according to the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council 、 ministry of education Issued《 Measures for the Establishment and Management of Academic Degree Award and Talent Training Subject Directory 》^[1] (Academic Degrees [2009] No. 10). Disciplines are jointly formulated by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council and the Ministry of Education Degree authorization review And discipline management Degree awarding The basic basis for the unit to carry out degree awarding and talent training. In March 2011, the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council and the Ministry of Education issued the revised《 Academic Degree Awarding and Talent Training (2011)^[2] 》, China is divided into Philosophy Economics Law , pedagogy, literature, history, science, engineering, agronomy, medicine Military science Management Art 、 Interdisciplinary 14 disciplines.

Different from《 Academic Degree Awarding and Talent Training 》14 academic degree Disciplines, another version is《 National Standard Discipline Classification and Code of the People's Republic of China 》5 academic categories (A natural science, code 110~190; B agricultural science , code 210~240; C Medical science, code 310-360; D Engineering and technical science, code 410~630; E Humanities and Social Sciences Codes 710-910). The purpose and basis of the two classifications are very different; The former is used in colleges and universities Degree awarding And talent cultivation, which is used by the country Macro management And science and technology statistics. The following disciplines refer to Higher Education Degree discipline/specialty classification for degree awarding and talent cultivation.

Discipline category is the classification of disciplines with certain relevance, which is awarded academic degree Its setting should meet the needs of discipline development and talent training, and take into account the practice of educational statistical classification^[1] 。 Disciplines and first level disciplines are formulated by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council and the Ministry of Education^[4] 。 Issued by Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council in July 2019《 Administrative Measures for the Authorization and Grant of Bachelor's Degree 》Article 11 of Chapter III "Degree awarding" stipulates that the bachelor's degree shall be based on the discipline category or Professional degree category Grant. The disciplines for awarding bachelor's degrees shall comply with the provisions of the catalogue of disciplines and specialties for degree awarding. It is specified in the undergraduate specialty catalog that the majors can be awarded degrees in multiple disciplines, Bachelor Degree Awarding Unit The bachelor's degree shall be awarded according to the discipline category specified when the Ministry of Education approves or records the establishment of a major^[5] 。

Position requirements for civil servant examination in 2020 of the Ministry of Education: refer to《 Undergraduate Specialty Catalog of Ordinary Colleges and Universities 》； Postgraduate major Classification See《 Academic Degree Awarding and Talent Training 》。 The professional requirements of the position are subject categories, that is, the disciplines and first level disciplines included in the category meet the requirements; If the professional requirements are first level disciplines, that is, the second level disciplines included in the first level disciplines meet the requirements.

In March 2011, the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council of the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Education issued the revised《 Academic Degree Awarding and Talent Cultivation Discipline Catalog (2011) 》It is stipulated that China is divided into 13 disciplines, including philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agronomy, medicine, military science, management, and art national economy and social development Various fields of^[18] 。 On January 14, 2021, the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council and the Ministry of Education issued a notice, deciding to set up a category of "interdisciplinary" (category code is "14")“ Integrated Circuit Science and Engineering ”First level discipline (discipline code is "1401") and“ national security studies ”First level discipline (discipline code is "1402"). "Interdisciplinary" becomes the 14th discipline category in China^[19] 。

Subject Catalogue Divided into disciplines and first-class disciplines（ Undergraduate education It is called "specialty" in the Chinese Academy of Sciences and "secondary discipline" ("specialty" in the undergraduate specialty catalog). [ Note: The current subject catalogue of degree awarding and talent training (updated in April 2018) divides the subject catalogue into subject categories and first level subjects] 。 Disciplines and first-class disciplines are carried out by the state Degree authorization review It is the basic basis for degree awarding and talent training with discipline management and degree awarding units. Secondary disciplines are the reference basis for degree awarding units to implement talent training.

Academic degree According to disciplines, they are awarded bachelor's/master's/doctor's degrees in philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, military science, management, art, and interdisciplinary studies. The categories of disciplines for China's tertiary degree awards shall be uniformly prescribed by the State.

Disciplines are applicable to the degree awarding and talent cultivation of bachelor, master and doctor, and are used for Discipline construction And classification of education statistics. Postgraduates Educational discipline The "first level discipline" and "second level discipline" under the category correspond to the "specialty" and "specialty" under the undergraduate education discipline/specialty category respectively.

Setting and adjustment

China since 1980s Higher Education Subject Catalogue It has undergone four major classified adjustments, mainly focusing on "increment", while the existing "stock" has not been adjusted enough, showing that "stock determines increment" Development mode 。 The first three majors applicable to master and doctoral graduates/ Subject Catalogue , the fourth time (latest) is applicable to bachelor , Master, Doctor Degree awarding Of Subject Catalogue 。 The situation of each stage is as follows:

Phase I: 1983-1989

In 1981《 Provisional Measures for the Implementation of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Academic Degrees 》Article 2 stipulates that academic degrees shall be awarded according to the following disciplines: philosophy, economics Law Education, literature, history, science, engineering, agronomy, medicine. But in colleges and universities and scientific research institution When the first batch of doctoral and master's degree authorization applications were made, some of the research directions were too narrow, resulting in the application of majors/disciplines equivalent to Secondary discipline ； Others combine several majors into one university subject, which is too broad^[7] 。 During the preliminary review of the authorization of doctoral and master's degrees, various ministries and commissions have adjusted the disciplines and majors applied for. In order to do a good job in the review of the authorization of the first batch of doctoral and master's degrees, the Ministry of Education has summarized the list of disciplines and specialties drawn up in the review work of various departments, and has drawn up a "List of Disciplines and Specialties Granted Doctoral and Master's Degrees by Universities and Scientific Research Institutions (Draft)" with reference to the list of disciplines and specialties of foreign countries, for the conference held from July 26 to August 2, 1981 Discipline Evaluation Group of Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council The first meeting discussed the modification. March 15, 1983 the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council At the fourth meeting, it was decided to publish and try out the Draft for Trial Implementation.

The Trial Draft divides disciplines into ten categories: philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture and medicine. A total of 63 disciplines have been set up in ten universities First level discipline Including 1 philosophy, 1 economics, 5 law, 3 pedagogy, 3 literature, 1 history, 12 science, 25 engineering, 6 agronomy and 6 medicine. The 63 first level disciplines are: philosophy, economics, law, political science, International politics And international relations, sociology, ethnology Pedagogy, psychology, sports, Chinese language and literature, Foreign Language and Literature ， Art History Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, geography ， geophysics ， geology ， Atmospheric science ( meteorology )， oceanography , Biology, Management Science, Nature History of Science Mechanics, mechanical design and manufacturing, instrumentation, Metallic materials , metallurgy, Power machinery and Engineering Thermophysics , electrician, electronics Communication, computer science and technology, architecture, civil engineering, water conservancy, surveying and mapping, Non metallic materials ， chemical engineering And industrial chemistry, Auto-Control ， Management engineering , geological exploration, mining, petroleum, railway, highway, water transport, ship, textile, light industry, Forestry engineering , atomic energy science and technology, aviation and aerospace technology, Armament Science and Technology , history of technical science, agronomy, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, Agricultural mechanization And electrification, forestry, aquaculture Basic Medicine , clinical medicine, Public Health and Preventive Medicine , Chinese medicine, Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine , Pharmacy. The Trial Draft lists 638 secondary disciplines (specialties), including 10 philosophy, 24 economics, 37 law, 34 education, 51 literature, 13 history, 88 science, 234 engineering, 59 agriculture and 88 medicine.

To cultivate Military science Senior professionals At the 5th meeting of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council held on December 5, 1983, it was decided to add military science degrees, and "military science evaluation subgroup" was added to the discipline evaluation group of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council. Letter from Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council on April 1, 1985 the Chinese People's Liberation Army academic degree Leading group General Affairs has 9 disciplines, namely military concept 、 science of strategy 、 science of campaign 、 science of tactics 、 War Mobilization 、 Military Science Military Command, Military Political Work military logistics 。 Thus, the Trial Draft finally has 10+1=11 disciplines/specialty categories, 63+1=64 first level disciplines, and 638+9=647 second level disciplines.^[8]

Phase II: 1990-1995

The Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council has made a decision to revise and adjust the Trial Draft in view of the various drawbacks of the Trial Draft in 1983. Officially approved at the ninth meeting of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council in October 1990《 List of disciplines and specialties for conferring doctoral and master's degrees and cultivating graduate students 》（ abbreviation Professional Catalog). The professional catalogue is the basis for the division of the professional scope of the degree granted by the Discipline Review Group of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council; At the same time, Degree awarding unit The corresponding degree will be awarded according to the discipline category of each specialty in this specialty catalog. Institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions that train postgraduates, as well as the relevant competent departments, may draw up plans for the training of postgraduates with reference to the specialized catalogue, and carry out enrollment and training work. Compared with the 1983 version of the Trial Draft, the adjustment of the number of disciplines and specialties in the 1990 version is as follows: philosophy has been reduced from 10 to 9; Economics increased from 24 to 27; The number of jurisprudence increased from 37 to 39; Pedagogy has been reduced from 34 to 33; Literature decreased from 51 to 44; History increased from 13 to 14; The number of neo confucianism decreased from 88 to 86; The number of engineering disciplines decreased from 234 to 216; Agronomy decreased from 59 to 47; The number of medical sciences decreased from 88 to 76. In addition, there are 29 new military disciplines. There are 620 kinds of majors in this specialty catalog, and the scope of specialty is roughly equivalent to the second level discipline.

The 1990 edition of the Professional Catalogue has set up 11 disciplines (including the military discipline added in 1983), 72 first level disciplines (including the military discipline added in 1985) and 644 professional/secondary disciplines. With the development of China planned economy towards Socialist market economy Transformation, reform of higher education management system and academic degree With the deepening of postgraduate education reform, the current professional directory could not fully meet the needs of development at that time. The main problem was that the setting of primary disciplines was not standardized, and the division of secondary disciplines was too detailed, and the scope of disciplines was narrow.

The third stage: 1996-2010

Figure 2 List of Disciplines and Specialties Awarded Doctoral and Master Degrees by Universities and Scientific Research Institutions

In 1996, the 14th meeting of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council made a decision to revise the Catalogue of Disciplines and Specialties in which Doctoral and Master's Degrees are Granted by Institutions of Higher Learning and Scientific Research Institutions, which was promulgated in 1990. The main principles of revision are: scientific, standardized and broadened; The goal of the revision is to gradually standardize and rationalize the first level disciplines and broaden and adjust the second level disciplines^[9] 。 As shown in Figure 2: 1997

In 1997, the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council National Education Commission The jointly released Catalogue of Disciplines and Specialties for Granting Doctoral and Master Degrees and Cultivating Postgraduates (issued in 1997) was subsequently supplemented and revised three times in October 1998, December 2005 and April 2008. Compared with the old catalogue (1990 edition), the new catalogue (1997 edition) revised in 2005 has the following changes: the number of management disciplines has been increased, and the number of disciplines awarded degrees has increased to 12; The number of primary disciplines has increased from 72 to 89, and the number of secondary disciplines (disciplines and specialties) has been adjusted from 654 to 386. Disciplines of various disciplines Professional settings The situation is: philosophy, one first-class discipline, eight disciplines and specialties; Economics, 2 first level disciplines, 16 disciplines and majors; Law, 5 first level disciplines, 31 disciplines and specialties; Pedagogy, 3 first level disciplines, 17 disciplines and majors; Literature, 4 first level disciplines, 29 disciplines and majors; History, 1 first-class discipline, 8 disciplines and specialties; Science, 12 first level disciplines, 50 disciplines and specialties; Engineering, 32 first level disciplines, 113 disciplines and specialties; Agriculture, 8 first level disciplines, 27 disciplines and specialties; Medicine, 8 first level disciplines, 54 disciplines and specialties; Military science, 8 first level disciplines, 19 disciplines and specialties; Management, 5 first level disciplines, 14 disciplines and majors.^[9]

In April 2008, it was added in the first level discipline of "Marxist theory" in the category of "law"“ Modern Chinese History Basic problem research "secondary discipline^[10] 。 In this way, the 1997 edition of the Catalogue of Disciplines and Specialties in which Universities and Scientific Research Institutions Award Doctoral and Master's Degrees has 11+1=12 disciplines, 89 first level disciplines and 386+1=387 second level disciplines (updated to 2009). As shown in Figure 3, the 1997 edition of disciplines was added again in 2008

Phase IV: 2011-2022

Figure 4 Measures for the Setting and Management of Academic Degree Award and Talent Training Subject Directory

For those who apply for corresponding adjustment to the first level discipline degree authorization points in the new directory based on the existing second level discipline degree authorization points in the original directory, if approved by the discipline review group, they will be adjusted, and their existing second level discipline degree authorization points will be automatically revoked. If not, the existing second level discipline degree authorization points will remain. 3、 Application for corresponding adjustment: 1. "History", "Art", "Architecture"“ Military Command ”And "Military Logistics and Military Equipment ”First level disciplines are divided into multiple first level disciplines in the new directory. 2. "Ecology", "Statistics", "Software Engineering"“ Safety Science and Engineering ”, "herbalism", "special medicine" and“ Nursing ”First level disciplines are added based on one or more second level disciplines in the original directory. Degree awarding units with degree authorization in corresponding disciplines in the original directory can apply for corresponding adjustment to the above first level disciplines in the new directory based on the original degree authorization disciplines in accordance with the Correspondence Table. 3. "Utilization of agricultural resources" in the original catalog“ Library, Information and Archives Management ”First level discipline, renamed as“ Agricultural resources and environment ”、“ Library Information and Archives Management ”For the first level disciplines, the existing degree authorization points of the first level disciplines involved are naturally adjusted accordingly, and the degree awarding unit does not need to apply.^[11] The art disciplines originally belonging to the literature category are separated from the Chinese language and literature (0501), foreign language and literature (0502), journalism and communication (0503), and art (0504), which belong to the literature category, and become the new 13th discipline category, namely the art category. Arts Art Theory （1301）、 Music and Dancing （1302）、 Drama and Film and Television (1303), Fine Arts (1304) and Design (1305, arts and engineering degrees can be granted) There are five first level disciplines in total. To sum up, in the Academic Degree Award and Talent Cultivation Discipline Catalog (2011), the number of first level disciplines has increased from 89 to 110. This is the fourth time in 27 years that China has updated the subject and specialty directory^[12] 。 In 2015, under the category of "engineering", a first level discipline "cyberspace security" (discipline code: "0839") was added, and the degree of "engineering" was awarded. The purpose of adding this first level discipline is to implement the national security strategy and accelerate cyberspace security High level talent training 。^[13] Therefore, there are 111 first level disciplines in total (updated to 2018).
