What's the difference between a master and a master? "

Different training objectives

Master mainly trains academic research talents, and master mainly trains high-level applied talents.

Different cultivation methods

The general master's degree system is 3 years, and the master's degree system is 2-3 years. The master's course pays attention to the study of basic theories and the cultivation of the ability and quality to engage in scientific research and innovation. Generally, high-quality papers are published after graduation.

Professional courses are oriented to practical application and aim at professional needs. The core is to improve comprehensive quality and knowledge application ability. General professional papers are not as demanding as academic masters, and they will participate in some internship projects under the guidance of tutors.

Different tuition fees

The master's tuition fee is generally 8000 yuan/academic year, which may be different for different majors, and the master's tuition fee varies greatly among different majors. For example, the master's degree in computer science is usually1-10.5 million yuan/academic year, while the MBA tuition usually needs hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Different ways to read blogs.

You can apply for a doctorate directly without taking the national unified examination, but there is generally no way for a master to continue or study directly. If you want to study for a doctorate, you can only take the national unified examination after graduation and get the qualification for doctoral admission.

Future development

If you have plans to continue studying for a PhD after graduation, or are interested in being a researcher, it is more appropriate to apply for a master's degree. If the purpose of postgraduate entrance examination is simple, that is, for employment, then it is more appropriate to choose a master's degree that focuses on cultivating professional quality.

Examination difficulty

Generally speaking, the examination for master students is more difficult than that for master students. Take computer science as an example. A large part of study is to take an English exam, and a large part of study is to take two English exams.

Note that in recent years, many colleges and universities have begun to weaken the difference between learning and mastering. For example, in recent years, the re-examination standard of Computer College of Zhejiang University is the same learning and mastering. According to the ranking, the top-ranked admissions are all learning and mastering, and the lower-ranked admissions are all mastering, and they all have the qualification of direct blog.

Is specialization low in gold content?

When the Ministry of Education officially announced the expansion of enrollment last year, the Master of Planning would occupy the postgraduate group? Above all, with the increasing social recognition of the master, Ben Meng thinks that there is almost no difference in the gold content of the master.

Is a master's degree better than a master's degree?

Many students think that postgraduate entrance examination is more difficult than postgraduate entrance examination. Does it mean that the master did well in the exam? However, this is not the case. The most important factor of a good exam is not the difficulty of the exam, but the intensity of competition.

Admittedly, the examination questions of the master's degree are relatively simple, but the number of applicants will also get together, leading to soaring scores. Therefore, don't make a choice easily because of the difficulty of the topic, but consider it comprehensively with reference to the improvement of enrollment ratio and score line.

Must the master be a former student?

There is no restriction that the master's degree must be a previous student. Only master of business administration, master of public administration, master of tourism management and master of engineering management are required to have more than 3 years (undergraduate graduates) or more than 5 years (vocational college graduates) working experience.

Master's employment is definitely better than master's?

Many students apply for a master's degree in order to get a good job. Is there a big difference between master and master in employment? There are differences, but there is not much difference. Judging from the employment data of previous years, the employment rate of graduates is slightly higher, but the employment rate cannot be used as a standard to judge the quality of employment.

Many employers don't require applicants to be masters or masters, so it is necessary to be hard to strike while the iron is hot. If the ability is insufficient, a master's degree and a master's degree will not help, so don't directly equate a master's degree with a stepping stone to employment.

You don't need academics to master it?

Every year, many students who come ashore come back to chat with Ben Meng. It's really too big to write a paper! Whether it is a master's degree or a master's degree, the thesis is the same "pain point", but do you still think that a master's degree does not require scientific research ability? Don't be naive! The smooth implementation of professional master's practice needs the support of professional knowledge and scientific research ability, so it is very important to improve your scientific research ability and thesis level during postgraduate study.
