First of all, I think we should first understand a concept, that is, what is a graduate student. Because there are really many people, and they just follow everyone to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, which is really bad. You should at least know what kind of graduate students you want to take!

Well, today I'm going to tell you some basic knowledge about graduate school in China. Especially the working friends who are going to apply for the exam in 2024, we must listen carefully! This can avoid making mistakes because you don't understand. After all, the postgraduate entrance examination is no joke.

Ok, get to the point, let's learn about the types of domestic graduate students!

degree

Education: refers to a person's learning experience, which is a person's learning experience. The meaning of education is very broad, as long as your study experience is considered as personal education.

About "What stage is your education, undergraduate or graduate?" In fact, this problem refers to the academic level of graduating from an educational institution with academic qualifications and obtaining the corresponding diploma. From primary school to university, the diploma in each stage is the embodiment of academic qualifications, but academic qualifications are not limited to diplomas, and there is a relationship between tolerance and inclusion.

Anyway, in the postgraduate education stage, whether full-time or part-time graduate students will get graduation certificates and degree certificates after graduation. In addition, on-the-job graduate students with the same academic qualifications can get a diploma (not a diploma) and a degree certificate. Therefore, before you go to graduate school, you must carefully choose the path that suits you.

degree

Degree: an academic title indicating that the educational level and academic level of the recipient have reached the prescribed standards.

In China, doctor is the highest degree, and the degree system generally includes three levels: bachelor, master and doctor. It needs to be clear whether "postdoctoral" is a degree. "Postdoctoral" is not a degree, but a doctor's degree winner who is approved to enter a postdoctoral research mobile station to engage in scientific research after obtaining a doctorate.

The concepts of degree and education are different. The former reflects a person's academic ability, while the latter represents a person's learning experience. At present, under various postgraduate training modes, students who successfully complete their studies will receive master's degree certificates issued by the school, and there are certain differences in details between different training modes.

grasp

That is, students with a master's degree usually represent basic independent thinking ability. Students will receive a master's diploma and a master's degree certificate after they graduate normally and meet the conditions for conferring degrees.

In China, graduate students are divided into academic graduate students and professional graduate students according to their degree types; According to the learning style, it is divided into two training modes: full-time and part-time graduate students.

on-job postgraduates

On-the-job graduate students are a learning model designed for on-the-job people. As a part of the national plan, on-the-job postgraduate education aims to meet the needs of on-the-job personnel, so that they can work part-time and part-time at school while maintaining their workplace status, thus achieving the goal of postgraduate education.

There are two ways to study for a master's degree on the job:

1. dual-certificate part-time graduate students (part-time graduate students): graduate students with general higher education (unified enrollment) have the same effect as full-time graduate students. It is very difficult to take the unified examination together, eliminate the selection system and select the best candidates.

2. Documentary on-the-job graduate students (equivalent to Shen Shuo): with a degree and no academic qualifications. Admission is free. You can enter the school for postgraduate study by submitting application materials and passing the exam, and the difficulty ratio is not completely low. This is a postgraduate entrance examination method specially set up for on-the-job personnel.

full time graduate students

The full-time postgraduate training mode for fresh graduates is suitable for two groups of people: fresh college graduates and full-time on-the-job personnel. Full-time graduate students and part-time graduate students are the same in their jobs, and they all refer to the training model.

If you want to be a full-time graduate student, you need to take the national unified entrance examination for graduate students held every year1February, and be admitted after selection, so as to obtain graduate status. The selection system of full-time graduate students is elimination system, and the selection process is merit-based admission. Its learning method is to study at school every Monday to Friday. Full-time graduate students can obtain graduate diploma and master's degree certificate after completing credits and passing thesis defense.

Academic graduate students

In short, academic graduate students mainly aim at cultivating scientific research talents. This is an ideal way for people who are determined to engage in scientific research.

Official explanation: an academic master usually means having an academic degree (academic? Degree) personnel, according to the subject setting, oriented by academic research, focusing on theory and research, mainly train teachers of higher education and researchers of scientific research institutions.

In China, degrees are divided into 14 categories, such as philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, military science, management, art and interdisciplinary subjects.

Academic master's education focuses on cultivating teaching and scientific research talents, and the degree awarded is mainly academic degree. You don't need to have a certain number of years of work experience to apply for an academic master's degree. Full-time study generally lasts for three years, and the tuition fee varies from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands yuan due to different schools and majors.

Professional graduate students

Compared with academic graduate students, professional graduate students mainly aim at cultivating practical and applied talents. According to the official statement, its goal is to cultivate applied senior professionals who have a solid theoretical foundation and can meet the actual needs of specific industries or occupations.

The remarkable feature of professional degree education is the close combination of academic and professional. People with professional degrees are not engaged in academic research, but in jobs with major professional backgrounds, such as engineers, architects, doctors, teachers, lawyers, accountants, forestry and art majors.

Professional degree and academic degree have their own clear orientation in training objectives, so there are differences in teaching methods, teaching contents, standards and requirements for awarding degrees.

Professional master's degree is a new master's degree added by the state to overcome the shortage of academic master's degree and cultivate applied talents in short supply in the market. Full-time study for 2-3 years.

Therefore, on-the-job graduate students are more suitable for those who want to improve themselves through study under working conditions, which can not only improve their academic qualifications but also delay their work.

In a word, you workers can't choose which one has high gold content, but you must choose the type that suits you and can graduate smoothly. Otherwise, the gold content is high, but you can't graduate, that is, draw water with a sieve.
