Major prospects

体育教育在中国正变得越来越重要。中小学体育课时增加,很多学校开始重视体育特长培养;社会上的体育培训机构也越来越多,比如青少年篮球、足球、游泳培训。国际学生如果学这个专业,可以结合自己国家的特色运动(比如足球、橄榄球、瑜伽等)来中国发展,或者把中国的武术、太极带回本国。另外,中国正在推动全民健身和体育产业发展,体育赛事策划、运动康复等方向也很有潜力。对于想回国发展的学生,中国的体育教学理念和方法在国际上也有一定认可度。

Career prospects

毕业后,最常见的出路是当体育老师。中小学体育老师在中国一线城市月薪大约8000-15000元,大学体育老师或讲师月薪10000-20000元(取决于学校和职称)。也可以去体育培训机构做教练,按课时收费,经验丰富的教练月收入能到15000-30000元。还有体育赛事公司、体育用品企业、政府体育部门等,可以做赛事组织、运动推广、体育管理等工作。国际学生如果中文流利,还可以从事国际体育交流、外教等工作。总的来说,这个专业就业面比较广,而且随着健康意识提升,需求还在增长。
