The Legislature's Education and Culture Committee has passed the first reading of amendments to the Degree Conferral Law. The changes will grant more flexibility in degree conferral, allowing students to receive bachelor's degrees in fields other than the ones they studied when they first entered university.
Mr. Huang is currently studying atmospheric sciences at National Taiwan University. He is carrying a box full of leaf specimens, because he is interested in forestry and decided to take elective courses in this subject. His friend, a student surnamed Zhu, is a student at NTU's School of Forestry and Resource Conservation who decided to take elective courses in management. In recent years, it has become more common for university students to take elective courses. Recently, the legislature passed the first reading of amendments to the Degree Conferral Law. The changes will grant more flexibility in degree conferral, meaning students can receive degrees in fields other than the ones they studied when they first entered university. Students say this is a step in the right direction, but don't expect the effect to be extensive.
Right now, it's quite easy to change majors or double major, so there isn't much difference.
It may end up just being a certificate on the diploma. (Do you care about this?) Do I care? I believe what you learn during the four years at university is more important.
The changes will grant greater flexibility between departments and institutes, as well as in course selection. In the future, students will be able to enter schools in one department and finish their studies in another institute or vice versa. The Ministry of Education says the amendments were drafted in response to industrial and social personnel demand.
This reflects the increasing diversity of our society. All areas, including technology, are developing very rapidly. We want education and degree conferral to keep up with the times.
Many schools already offer no-major degree programs. National Taiwan Normal University says this is the direction Taiwan should have been moving in, and schools need to smash fixed methods and invest more resources in academic planning. In addition, both the mentality of students and campus culture need to be adjusted.

Students need guidance, we need to tell them we're giving them this flexibility and you now have a choice. Usually, students don't have a sense of belonging.
In the past, when students wanted to get degrees in fields other than the ones they started off studying, their only options were to switch majors or double major. The changes will grant more flexibility, but the training of professionals still needs to conform to related laws. For example, the changes do not apply to teacher training schools or medical schools.
