After graduation, you can see the difference between "master's degree" and "professional master's degree", and it may be too late to regret it in the second year of study
The number of applicants for the 2024 graduate examination fell by 360,000. Although many colleges and universities have increased the number of places for exempted students, the overall difficulty of the examination may not be reduced for students who take the postgraduate written examination.
Some experts in the field of postgraduate entrance examination said that the national line for postgraduate entrance examination in 2024 may decline. This means that students who have passed the national line for postgraduate entrance examinations, even if they do not pass the written examination of their first choice university, they will have the opportunity to be admitted to other colleges and universities through adjustment.
In addition, students can also switch from a master's degree to a master's degree, which increases the possibility of going ashore. In the postgraduate examination, the admission score for professional and master's degrees is relatively low.
However, there is still a gap between professional and master's degrees as a whole. While this gap may be less pronounced during a student's learning journey, it may become even more pronounced after graduation.
One of the biggest differences between a master's degree and a master's degree is the higher tuition fee. The cost of students at the graduate level will be much higher than that of a master's degree, and the tuition fee for a master's degree in some majors is even more than 3 times higher than that of a master's degree.
Although students are supported by scholarships during their graduate studies, it is uncertain whether the specific scholarships will be sufficient to fully offset the tuition fees for a master's degree.
In addition to the financial burden, the social recognition of a master's degree may be relatively low, especially in the field of scientific research. Master's degrees are more popular overall.
In general, professional and master's degrees have different training models and recognitions, and students need to carefully weigh various factors when choosing.
Overall, it is relatively easier to find employment after graduation.
Although the admission score for professional and master's degrees is relatively low, it is relatively easier for students to successfully apply for the examination. However, there are differences not only in the mode of study but also in the development prospects after graduation. Students should consider these factors thoroughly before making a choice, so as not to regret it until the second year of graduate school, when it is too late to regret it.
However, despite the many gaps between professional and master's degrees, there may be a trend of interest in developing professional and master's degrees. Many colleges and universities have even announced that they will stop recruiting master's students, which may mean that master's degrees may be about to retire from the stage of history.
In recent years, many colleges and universities seem to be tending to stop admitting master's degrees, and many students are confused by the fact that the number of places for master's programs has been decreasing, while the number of places for master's programs has been increasing.
The most important thing is that some colleges and universities have even suspended enrollment for master's programs. Fudan University, Peking University, Northeast Forestry University and Southwest University have all issued notices, stating that some majors will stop recruiting academic graduate students from next year.
In addition, according to the arrangement of the Ministry of Education, it is expected that by 2025, the proportion of post-secondary students will reach 67% of the total enrollment. This is well over half of the total enrollment.
It can be seen that there will be more and more students with professional and master's degrees in the future, and the number of students with master's degrees may decrease significantly. If this trend continues, there is a risk that the master's degree will be withdrawn from the stage of history.
Faced with this situation, many graduate students can't help but feel a little panicked. After all, many colleges and universities are now announcing that they will no longer offer graduate student housing. The cost of postgraduate entrance examination for students is rising, and if the number of places for master's degree is reduced, it will further increase the cost of postgraduate entrance examination for students.
In addition, if the enrollment of professional and master's programs is expanded, the overall difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination may also increase. Prior to this, professional masters usually only needed to take English II, but after the expansion of enrollment, many professional masters also required English I, and the overall difficulty has also increased, which makes many students feel that the pressure of postgraduate entrance examination has increased significantly.
