1. Methods and methods of on-the-job postgraduate entrance examinations
1. What are the methods of on-the-job postgraduate entrance examinations?
Answer: There are three main ways.
Path 1: Take the National Master’s Degree Entrance Examination.
When it comes to studying for a master's degree on the job, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is to take the National Master's Degree Entrance Examination in January every year. Its teaching focuses on theory, emphasizes academic research capabilities, and focuses on cultivating teaching and scientific research talents. It is generally required to have a college degree or above, study full-time after admission, complete the credits, and pass the thesis defense to obtain nationally recognized academic certificates and master's degree certificates.
As the number of applicants increases year by year, the National Master's Degree Entrance Examination has become the most popular and competitive way to obtain a master's degree.
Path 2: Participate in professional master’s degree education.
In the past two years, professional master's degree education has developed rapidly. MBA is no longer the only one. Masters of engineering, masters of education, masters of law, etc. have become popular directions for working people to further their studies. Professional degree education mainly cultivates high-level professional talents who combine theory and practice. It requires applicants to have a certain number of years of work experience. Most professional master's degrees also require in-service personnel to apply, with approval from their unit or corresponding management department, and some even require recommendations from their unit.
At present, domestic professional master’s degrees include Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Public Administration (MPA), Master of Engineering (ME), Master of Laws (J.M), Master of Accountancy (MPACC), Master of Public Administration **** Master of Health (MPH), Master of Agricultural Extension, Master of Veterinary Medicine, Master of Education, Master of Arts, Master of Physical Education, Master of Landscape Architecture and other professional degrees.
Path 3: Apply for the unified examination for master’s degree with equivalent academic qualifications.
Those with equivalent academic qualifications who apply for the unified examination for a master's degree are what we often call the application for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications. Starting from 1999, those with equivalent academic qualifications applying for a master's degree have taken the national unified examination of foreign language proficiency and comprehensive subject level, and the examination time is in May every year. Working people generally need to attend postgraduate courses in various schools, study in their spare time, then take the master's degree examination with equivalent academic qualifications, and complete thesis defense. Those who have reached the academic level of a master's degree after review can obtain a master's degree certificate. If students want to obtain a master's degree certificate, in addition to passing the degree course examination organized by the school, they must also pass two proficiency examinations organized by the state, namely the National Unified Foreign Language Proficiency Examination for those with equivalent academic qualifications to apply for a master's degree and the National Uniform Foreign Language Proficiency Examination for those with equivalent academic qualifications to apply for a master's degree in disciplines Comprehensive proficiency national unified examination.
2. Which path is better for on-the-job postgraduate studies? How to choose the right path?
Answer: Check the threshold carefully.
1) Participate in the National Master’s Degree Entrance Examination
Educational threshold: college degree or above.
Study mode: full-time study. The duration of study is 2-3 years.
Study fees: Tuition fees are allocated by the state finance and are the lowest among the three paths. Since it is a full-time study, for working people, it is necessary to participate in 3 years of full-time study, and the opportunity cost is relatively high. Coupled with examination fees, pre-exam tutoring class fees, etc., the cost of studying for a master's degree is not low.
Obtaining certificates: You can obtain nationally recognized academic certificates and master's degree certificates.
Difficulty of admission: National graduate school admissions are completely representative of being easy on entry and strict on exit. According to statistics, in 2005, the number of graduate students nationwide was 1.17 million, and the number of students enrolled was only 320,000, with an application-to-admission ratio of 3.7:1. Prestigious universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Fudan University, as well as popular majors such as microelectronics, information science, biomedicine, world economics, and international finance, have lower admission rates due to the large number of applicants. It is understood that the admission ratio for popular majors in some prestigious schools has even reached 70:1, while some second-rate schools are not full of enrollment for unpopular majors every year. Therefore, the difficulty of admission depends on the school and major the candidate applies for.
Suitable people: The candidates for the National Master’s Entrance Examination have always been mainly fresh undergraduate graduates. Taking Shanghai as an example, in 2005, a total of 99,548 people applied for master's degree programs, of which 52.7 were fresh graduates. Although passing the National Postgraduate Entrance Examination and participating in full-time teaching is more suitable for fresh graduates without work pressure, it is also suitable for those who want to completely change careers, or who want to make a bigger leap in career development, or who want to find employment in big cities. Working people can also consider this approach, but the costs and risks are relatively high if they give up their jobs to study.
2) Participate in professional master’s degree education
Application threshold: undergraduate degree plus a certain number of years of work experience.
Learning style: semi-part-time, 2-3 years of schooling.
Tuition fees: Tuition fees for professional master's degrees in different professional categories vary greatly. For example, the tuition fee for a master's degree in business administration is hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, while the tuition fee for a master's degree in engineering is generally 30,000-40,000 yuan. In addition, some majors are full-time courses and require three years of resignation. The cost of education is relatively the most expensive among the three paths.
Obtaining the certificate: The professional master's examination mainly requires passing the October joint examination, completing the required credits, passing the master's thesis defense, and obtaining a degree certificate. However, there are exceptions, such as Master of Business Administration, Master of Laws, Master of Clinical Medicine, Master of Architecture and other majors, you can also take the January national unified examination and obtain both academic certificates and degree certificates.
Difficulty of application: There are two opportunities for the professional master's admissions examination, the "Joint Entrance Examination" in October and the "Unified Examination" at the beginning of the year. Candidates can choose by themselves. These two national-level professional examinations are set and marked by the admissions units themselves. Different majors have different admission difficulties, and popular majors are relatively more difficult. For example, in 2004, the MBA admission ratio of Fudan University, Jiaotong University, and University of Finance and Economics in Shanghai was around 6:1; in 2004, the national law master's admission rate was less than 10. In addition, the difficulty of the "Joint Entrance Examination" and the "Unified Entrance Examination" are also different. Since there are far more candidates applying for the "unified examination" than the "joint examination", the competition level of the examination is naturally higher.
Candidates of the "Joint Entrance Examination" will also take the "Joint Entrance Examination" on the basis of the "Unified Entrance Examination". Candidates for the "Joint Entrance Examination" must also take the "Joint Entrance Examination" on the basis of the "Unified Entrance Examination".
Suitable people: The professional master's degree is suitable for working people who have certain work experience and want to study on the job. The career direction is clear, allowing working people to better apply what they have learned at work by taking exams while studying. . The professional field of professional master's degree is relatively narrow, and there is not much choice for working people.
3) Unified examination for applying for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications
Qualification threshold: Bachelor's degree, working for more than 3 years after obtaining the bachelor's degree.
Learning method: on-the-job learning, 2-3 years of schooling.
Study fees: Depending on the charging standards of different schools, the general tuition fee is between 3,500--10,000 yuan/year. Because it is on-the-job learning, the cost is the least compared to the above two methods.
Certificate acquisition: Obtain a master's degree certificate.
Difficulty of application: Applying for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications is a method of "exam-free admission, exam-free learning, and exam-free examination", so on the surface, applying for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications is the easiest way to obtain a degree. However, in-service students need to pass three levels in order to obtain a certificate: A. Pass the course examination organized by the degree-granting unit. Generally, schools will arrange 14-18 courses, complete the credits of each course and pass the examination; B. Pass the equivalent academic level Personnel applying for a master's degree must take the national unified examination of foreign language proficiency and comprehensive subject proficiency. Applicants must pass all course examinations of the degree-granting unit and proficiency examinations organized by the state within 4 years from the date of passing the qualification examination; C. Complete the degree thesis and pass the thesis defense within 1 year from the date of passing all examinations. In addition, academic papers must be published in national journals.
Suitable for the crowd: Its training mode with flexible teaching time is currently the most suitable way for personnel to further their studies.
Specifically, from the perspective of curriculum and teaching staff, there is no difference between applying for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications and national master's degree education; from the perspective of teaching methods and training direction, applying for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications pays more attention to the combination of theory and practice to create an applied senior Talent. On the one hand, working people can systematically study postgraduate courses and obtain a master's degree; on the other hand, since the students are all elites with several years of workplace experience, they can learn from each other and expand their network of contacts, which is similar to the role of an MBA. .
3. What are the ways to apply for a master’s degree?
Answer: There are six ways.
There are two ways for working people to participate in postgraduate education: academic education and non-academic education. After academic education, you can get dual certificates (graduation certificate and degree certificate). Non-academic education does not have a graduation certificate or student status. You can get a degree certificate by applying for a master's degree. Employees can choose the method that suits them based on their personal circumstances.
Academic education mainly includes: (1) Individual examination (2) One-month Master of Laws (3) One-month Master of Business Administration. All three of the above require taking the national joint examination in January, which is more difficult. However, the individual examinations are independently conducted by the school and are less difficult.
Non-academic education mainly includes: (1) Master's degree application with equivalent academic qualifications (2) October Joint Entrance Examination (3) Postgraduate students in on-the-job courses. Among them, those with equivalent academic qualifications and the October Joint Entrance Examination are only master's degree certificates, and in-service postgraduate courses are only certificates of completion.
2. Applying for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications
(1) The meaning of applying for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications:
4. What is an in-service graduate student with equivalent academic qualifications?
Answer: After graduating with a bachelor's degree, you can use various learning channels in the workplace to bring your professional knowledge structure and level, and your dissertation to the graduate level, which is called graduate equivalent academic ability.
5. What are the conditions for applying for a master’s degree with equivalent academic qualifications as a graduate degree?
Answer: Anyone who meets the conditions stipulated by the Academic Degrees Office of the State Council and reaches the graduate level can apply to a degree-granting unit that has the right to apply for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications as a graduate graduate. The degree-granting unit recognizes that the graduate student has the same level of academic ability as a graduate, and can award a degree after passing the May joint entrance exam and master's thesis defense, and being approved in accordance with certain procedures.
(2) Degrees and certificates for master’s degree applicants with equivalent academic qualifications:
6. Is there any difference between a master's degree obtained by applying for a master's degree with equivalent academic qualifications and a master's degree obtained by a graduate student?
Answer: The seal on the master's degree certificate obtained is the steel seal and red seal of the school's graduate school. Answer: The seal on the master's degree certificate obtained is the steel seal and red seal of the school's graduate school. The master's degree certificate is exactly the same as the certificate of ordinary graduate students, but is numbered separately.
7. Why do graduate students with equivalent academic qualifications not have academic certificates, but only degree certificates?
Answer: Postgraduate education is divided into academic education and non-academic education. Non-academic education is the responsibility of the Academic Degrees Committee Office of the State Council. After graduation, students only have degree certificates but no academic certificates. The postgraduate enrollment of the Department of College Students of the Ministry of Education belongs to academic education, that is, after students study, take exams, and pass thesis defense, they will have both a degree certificate and an academic certificate.
Applying for a degree on the job does not constitute academic education. After obtaining the degree, the applicant only indicates that his academic qualifications have reached the academic level of a master's degree and has the same academic ability (the "power" of learning ability) as a master's degree. Involves academic qualifications. Therefore, the applicant's academic qualifications have not changed and he cannot obtain a master's degree graduate certificate.
A degree is not the same as academic qualifications. Those who obtain a bachelor's degree must first obtain an undergraduate diploma, while those who obtain a master's or doctoral degree may not necessarily obtain a master's or doctoral degree. Nowadays, there is often confusion between degree and academic qualifications. For example, if someone has a bachelor's degree and later obtains a doctorate through degree application, then this degree is still an undergraduate degree and cannot be called a "doctoral degree."
8. What is the difference between academic certificate and degree certificate?
Answer: From a learning perspective, academic qualifications represent learning experience, and degrees represent learning levels and levels.
An academic certificate can only prove a person's learning time and process, while a degree certificate is a recognition that a person's knowledge has reached a certain level. Therefore, the value of a degree is not just the degree.
From the perspective of market recognition, for people working in government agencies, institutions or state-owned enterprises, dual certificates have a competitive advantage over single certificates. However, there is not much difference between foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises. The key lies in personal ability and professional background. A master's degree certificate only serves as a stepping stone.
