Major prospects

现在全球对安全的需求越来越大,中国正在推进智慧城市和平安城市建设,安防行业非常火爆。趋势很明显:AI安防、无人机巡逻、生物识别、大数据预警等新技术不断涌现。在中国学习这个专业,你可以接触到最前沿的安防技术,比如海康威视、大华等全球领先的安防公司都在中国。国际学生毕业后,可以关注跨国安防企业、国际组织(如联合国安保部门)、或者回国进入本国安全部门。中国安防技术在很多方面领先世界,你学到的知识回国后也很吃香。另外,随着“一带一路”项目推进,海外安防需求也在增长,机会很多。

Career prospects

毕业后出路很广:可以去公安部门(如公安局科技信息化处)、安防公司(如海康威视、大华、宇视)、机场、地铁、银行、大型企业安保部、咨询公司等。常见岗位包括安防系统工程师(设计安装调试系统)、安全风险评估师(评估场所或活动风险)、视频监控工程师(优化监控方案)、应急管理专员(制定应急预案)、网络安全分析师(保护安防系统不被黑)、安防项目经理(统筹整个项目)。薪资方面,在中国安防行业起薪大约8000-15000元/月,有经验后可达2-3万甚至更高。国际学生如果回国,类似岗位薪资根据当地情况而定,但技术能力全球通用。另外,很多安防公司有国际业务,需要懂技术又了解当地文化的人才,你的背景会很受欢迎。
