New Age Skills
The 21st Century requires global perspectives with
ability to work seamlessly with people from diverse backgrounds. International
education is an effective way to acquire skills that are essential if one wants
to be a part of global teams. Universities in every corner of the globe welcome
Indian students as they add a different perspective to a class.
In a new trend, students are opting for unconventional programs
like fashion styling, film-making, script writing, acting, music production,
adventure sports, production design, environmental sciences, sustainable
energy, culinary arts and games development, among others.
Courses in water management, brand management programs
are new trends. Universities in Germany are making waves with their research
initiatives in modern transport engineering, bio-sciences and energy solutions.
The popular courses at the UG-level include computer
science, engineering, business management and liberal arts. You can consider
applying for a course in medicine, dentistry or even marketing in the UK. For
automobile engineering, Germany offers several options. And for design and
luxury brand management, take a look at colleges in Italy and France.
Career in
Forensic Science and Criminology
Forensic science is the application of science to the
investigation of a crime. When a crime is committed, there are different types
of evidence found at the crime scene. It could include traces of an object,
paint, soil, blood, saliva, body fluids, digital evidence, plant material,
bones, documents, fingerprints. Forensic science uses physical science such as
chemistry, biology, and physics to analyses the evidence found at the crime
scene and uses that analysis to help the law enforcement to catch the criminal
and most importantly, present that evidence in court.
While criminology is the study of crime, a criminologist
uses different social sciences such as sociology, psychology, to understand
crime and criminal behavior. Criminology typically includes studying different types
of crime, causes behind the crime, occurrence or incidence of crime in various
parts, the consequences of the crime as well as society's perception, different
rules and punishment and preventive strategies for crime.
EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION
To become a forensic scientist, one needs to first
complete a Bachelors' in Forensic or Physical or Biological Science and further
pursue MSc (Forensic Science). To become a forensic pathologist, one has to
complete an MD in Forensic Medicine after successfully completing his/ her
MBBS.
There are graduate as well as postgraduate courses in
criminology. One can pursue it either after 10+2 or after having a graduate
degree in arts or science. Criminology is also offered as a specialization at
the masters' level in social work.
JOB PROSPECTS
A forensic scientist can work as a crime scene
investigator, forensic pathologist; trace evidence analyst, and expert analysts
in forensic specializations. A criminologist can work as an analyst, teacher,
reviewer and reformer of law, revising ways of criminal rehabilitation and as
researchers working to improve the criminal justice system.
Crimes have been committed from time immemorial and
continue to happen in today's world. With the increasing need for effective
measures to stop and prevent crime, forensic science and criminology have
become a necessity. This field is constantly evolving with the development of
new technology and new ways of investigations.
Science
of makeup
We live in a world that values the way one looks and
presents himself or herself, and the cosmetics industry plays a vital role in
helping one achieve that look. The way one looks can be a calling card for
personal and professional growth. Today, the makeup industry is a global
multibillion dollar industry and growing. A makeup artist is intimately
involved in the most important and exciting events of people's lives, from
weddings to the Academy Awards.
A career in the cosmetics industry is not all fluff and
glamour. Working in this field takes dedication, a knack for accepting change
and a desire to help others look their best. The job opportunities vary from
being behind the scenes, creating a product to showing beauty techniques to the
public or acting as the face of a company. Professional makeup has evolved as
much as a science as it is a customary art form. The understanding of arch
light conditions , the advancement in camera and transmission technologies, the
complex ingredients and the chemical engineering itself that goes into
formulating the right makeup products is as much of a pre-requisite as an
inherent creative skill to achieve the best of makeup design work. It is much
more than what meets the eye in the glamorous world of fashion and makeup,
which are intricately linked.
A robust 15% annual growth despite the global economic
slowdown of recent the years; no wonder it is often referred to as a
recession-proof industry.
GROWTH AREAS
There is a demand of professionals in various areas
including film, television, theatre, media , fashion, video, photography and
bridal design work in broad categories like professional makeup, camouflage
makeup, fun faze makeup, face and body painting, special effects makeup and
prosthetics apart from recent innovations like high definition and air brush
make up. Professional makeup artists are more in demand than ever before. Globalization,
influx of MNCs, etc, are all expanding the professional makeup market segment. The
customer awareness is contributing to create a high demand for skilled and
trained makeup professionals. Supporting the claim we find make up schools and
academies mushrooming in urban and semi-urban India, attempting to close this
demand-supply gap.
Environmental
Science
"The sustainable management of biodiversity is one
of the most important challenges facing humanity; one that requires active
participation of dedicated professionals who are committed to the
interdisciplinary nature of the subject. Our generation has the unenviable task
of making hard, possibly irrevocable, decisions on natural resource, allocation
and management issues at local, regional and international levels. In this
context, the aim of this appreciation programme is to provide a critical and
conceptually sophisticated understanding of biodiversity science and the socio-economic,
political, cultural and institutional environments within which management and
policy decisions are made.
The broad areas that will be covered include biodiversity
and its importance, agro-biodiversity , threats to biodiversity , sustainable
use of biodiversity and at the end of the course, students will have to
undertake a project. "The purpose is to provide an opportunity to students
to apply the knowledge they have acquired in the course of studying scientific
principles and technological methods underpinning the concept and pathways of
sustainable management of biodiversity.
Electronics
and communication
The ECE branch provides the ground and flexibility for
those students who wish to opt for other streams. The curriculum for the first
year of the course is the same for all the branches. The diversity of the
curriculum becomes clear after the first year. The course comprises sufficient
papers on all major fields of engineering - electrical engineering, computer
science and control engineering. The final two years, however, are devoted
almost entirely to advanced topics in electronics and communication engineering
such as digital signal processing, microwave engineering and bipolar and MOS
Analog IC design.
As far as career prospects are concerned, many students
from the ECE branch often decide to pursue postgraduate studies to continue
research in diverse areas. A number of students also continue with post-graduation
at the Master's and PhD levels in well-known US universities.
