Degree education in China is mainly divided into academic degree (academic theoretical research) or professional degree (practical ability of operation). Chinese academic degrees can be divided into 13 categories according to the disciplines of enrollment: philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, military science, management, and art. Under the categories, 88 first level disciplines can be further divided into 88 first level disciplines, and 88 first level disciplines can be further divided into more than 300 second level disciplines, At the same time, there are more than 760 secondary disciplines set up by the enrollment unit itself.
The difference between a professional master and a learned master: the training direction is different. Academic master education focuses on training teaching and scientific research talents, and academic degree is the main type of degree awarded; Professional master is a new master added by the country to overcome the shortage of academic master, which cultivates applied talents in short supply in the market. The enrollment conditions are different. Academic masters do not require applicants to have a certain number of years of work experience. The new full-time professional master's degree in January in 2009 does not require work experience. The enrollment conditions are the same as the original academic master's degree, and new students can apply for the exam. The entrance examination is different. The entrance examination for academic masters is only the "unified examination" at the beginning of the year, while the professional examinations other than the unified examination are set and marked by the enrollment units themselves. The entrance examination for professional masters has two opportunities: the "joint examination" in October and the "unified examination" at the beginning of the year. Candidates can choose by themselves, and the professional examinations of these two national level examinations are also set and marked by the enrollment units themselves. GCT on-the-job master is to participate in the joint exam in October. The time of full-time professional master's exam is the same as that of the original full-time academic master's exam, which is the first exam in January every year.
The difficulty of enrollment varies. The national unified entrance examination for academic masters is completely representative of Yan Jinkuan. It is reported that the admission ratio of some popular majors in famous universities is even 70:1. However, some second rate schools are dissatisfied with the recruitment of unexpected majors every year. Therefore, the difficulty of enrollment depends on the school and major of candidates. The professional examinations of these two national level examinations are set and marked by the admission units themselves. The difficulty of entering different majors varies, and popular majors are relatively difficult. In addition, the difficulty of the "Unified Examination" and the "Unified Examination" is also different. Because the "Unified Examination" candidates are far more than the "Unified Examination" candidates, the competition for the examination is naturally fierce. However, although the "joint examination" is easy, the applicants' working background and experience are more important when they are admitted. Different learning styles. Academic master: full-time study. Generally 3 years. Professional master: full-time study, 2-3 years.
The cost of study varies. Academic masters are admitted as master students within the national plan (non directional and directional). From the autumn semester of 2014, all graduate students began to pay their own expenses. Since 2010, professional masters have been basically the same as full-time academic masters, and those admitted as master students within the national plan (non targeted, targeted) enjoy tuition free treatment according to national regulations. Master students who are admitted as non national plan (commissioned cultivation, self raised funds) must pay tuition, which is generally 8000 yuan/year, and different majors have different tuition fees. For self funded students, poor students and other candidates, the pressure on tuition can be relieved by applying for national student loans or commercial loans. Diplomas may be awarded differently. Academic masters are awarded with degrees and academic certificates at the same time. The professional master's degree certificate will be issued in October, and the degree and diploma will be issued in January. Social acceptance varies. Academic master: As a full-time regular university graduate with both academic and degree certificates, such graduates are highly recognized by the society. However, enterprises will also take into account the weakness of full-time graduate students when recruiting: only theory, lack of experience. In particular, the enterprise will have scruples about job seekers who have no relevant work experience and whose majors are completely different from undergraduate majors. It is suggested that such graduates strengthen their competitiveness through internships, part-time jobs or taking professional certificates.
