Professional degrees may not be familiar to many people, but when it comes to MBA and MPA, they are familiar. In fact, MBA and MPA are only two categories of professional degrees.
It is a national examination for on-the-job employees to apply for graduate students with equivalent academic qualifications in China, and the examination time is May every year. Its degree awarding mode adopts the mode of attending classes first and then taking the Shenshuo exam. After passing the exam, the corresponding master's degree is awarded after passing the corresponding thesis defense.
Due to the different learning styles, most professional degree education only grants degree certificates, but there are exceptions, such as MBA, LLM, master and doctor of medicine, bachelor of architecture and master of science, and "double certificates" with both degree certificates and academic certificates.
Generally speaking, "unified examination" students are "double certificates" and "joint examination" students are "certificates". What is the relationship between common "postgraduate courses" and postgraduate degrees? "Advanced postgraduate courses" is a kind of non-academic education, which mainly teaches some core courses of postgraduate majors. There is no entrance examination and no academic certificate, only a degree certificate is issued.
The degree-conferring unit shall examine the qualifications of the applicant within the prescribed time limit. Determine qualified applicants, and determine the equivalent academic qualifications as required, including the identification of the applicant's degree thesis level, professional knowledge structure and level, and achievements in teaching, scientific research, professional technology and management.
The applicant shall pass the course examination organized by the degree-granting unit, the national unified examination for foreign language proficiency of master's degree and the national unified examination for comprehensive level of subjects of equivalent academic qualifications. If you fail the above-mentioned examination within four years, this application will be invalid.
The applicant shall submit his dissertation within one year after passing all the examinations, and the degree-conferring unit shall designate a tutor to give necessary guidance to the applicant's dissertation. The thesis defense shall be conducted in public within six months after the applicant submits the thesis. If the defense fails, the application is invalid.
