In today's era, with the country's great attention to higher education and the rapid development of the economy and society, high-quality professionals are particularly important for the country's development and competitiveness. In recent years, the number of graduate students has increased year by year, from 1.65 million in 2015 to 4.74 million in 2023, and the competition has reached a high degree of involution. In this context, in order to meet the society's demand for high-level, professional and application-oriented talents, many universities at home and abroad have cooperated to set up international education programs to provide multiple opportunities for some people with strong work experience and desire to further their studies in professional fields.
The international education program is a master's and doctoral education model jointly organized by foreign universities and Chinese universities in China, and students who participate in the Sino-foreign cooperative education program can obtain a degree diploma from an overseas university without taking the national postgraduate examination and without going abroad. Compared with studying abroad, the cost of such programs is lower, and the degree certificates issued by the joint programs approved by the national education department can be used for the certification of academic qualifications and degrees, which has a high degree of authority and recognition. Compared with the highly competitive postgraduate entrance examination and study abroad programs, the international education program is another way to obtain a diploma, which can not only enjoy the first-class educational resources in China, but also expand international horizons, gain international academic background and experience, and lay a solid foundation for future career development.
The number of applicants for the 2024 National Master's Admission Examination will be 4.38 million, a decrease of 360,000 from last year. This is also the first decline in the number of applicants for postgraduate entrance examinations since 2015, which has continued and grown rapidly, and the "postgraduate examination fever" has cooled down, on the one hand, it shows that candidates are more rational in applying for examinations, and on the other hand, it is also because of the diversion of other channels for further studies such as Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools and studying abroad.
In recent years, this lucrative market has attracted a large number of institutions to join, offering a dizzying array of International Baccalaureate programmes. However, the flip side of these "shortcuts" is to take advantage of the information asymmetry of students and play "word games" in admissions advertising, by hyping up the advantages of such programs, so as to cover up the lack of guarantees in terms of school qualifications, student registration, legitimacy of running schools, and teaching quality.
The industry is chaotic and prone to thunderstorms.
Dongfang.com once reported a case in which Mr. Zhao from Shanghai once participated in a postgraduate degree class of a foreign university at a study abroad training institution, but it backfired, and in the end, the student did not have the official student status of the school, so he studied in vain. Coincidentally, after Xiao Liu joined the work, he always hoped to have an opportunity to improve his academic qualifications in order to win more job opportunities. At the end of 2019, she was attracted by the international master's program of "an advanced business school" that was being promoted by an institution. According to the description of the program: it does not need to go abroad, it is a foreign institution of higher learning recognized and recommended by the Ministry of Education, and it is also in the list of accredited institutions of the "China Service Center for Scholarly Studies", and it does not require any examination. "Precision" touched Xiao Liu's needs. After paying more than 100,000 yuan in tuition, Xiao Liu got the school's student status. She told reporters that for most of the time since then, learning has been done in the form of live broadcasts. However, when he was about to graduate, Xiao Liu gradually learned that the diploma obtained in this form was not regarded as having studied abroad experience and could not be certified as studying abroad. After realizing the problem, Xiao Liu went to the headquarters of the educational institution, only to find that the institution had run away.
Students spend a lot of time and money, but they face pain points such as being pitted, copycat schools, having no student status, not being able to graduate, and even running away from institutions. There are many good and bad, and there is even no shortage of indiscriminate international education projects, how to screen them to avoid "financial and financial certificates"?
Professional institutions, recognized by universities.

The person in charge of the MBA admissions network said that students must choose the path that suits them according to their own situation, whether it is the joint entrance examination or Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools, they need to be carefully considered. Young people who have graduated for 3-5 years have strong test-taking ability and can choose the joint entrance examination. For those who have worked for a longer period of time, are not good at taking exams, and want to obtain a certificate as soon as possible, international education is more suitable. If you choose the joint entrance examination, you need to pay attention to the echelon of the school, and choose the top-ranked double first-class universities as much as possible when the budget is sufficient and there is room for learningWhen choosing an international education program, it is necessary to pay attention to the school's qualifications, school history and faculty, as well as the language of instruction requirements and tuition budget, etc., and the market spans from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. For new students, they also need to consider the choice of career after graduation, and now many colleges and universities have MBAs and EMBA divisions and directionsWhen choosing an EMBA, we should pay attention to the quality of alumni, as well as the co-construction of disciplines between the school and the enterprise, and whether there is intersecting and complementary to our own business operationsIn the field of doctoral degree, the domestic universities approved by the Ministry of Education are the first-level disciplines of management science and engineering, and there is no doctor of business administration, DBA is mainly co-organized by overseas business schools and domestic universities.
