After graduation, I realized that the gap between "master's" and "professional master's" may be too late to regret it in the second year of research
The number of applicants for the 2024 graduate examination has decreased by 360,000. Although many colleges and universities have increased the number of 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 may decline in 2024, so that students who pass the national line of postgraduate entrance examination can still be transferred to other colleges and universities even if they do not pass the written examination of their first choice university.
In addition, students can change from a master's degree to a master's degree to increase their chances of landing on shore. In the postgraduate examination, the admission score for professional and master's degrees is lower than that for master's degrees.
However, there is a gap between the master's degree and the master's degree as a whole. This gap may not be obvious in the course of a student's learning, but it will show a difference that cannot be ignored after graduation.
The biggest difference between a master's degree and a master's degree is that the tuition fee for a master's degree is higher, and the cost of a student's study has risen significantly. The tuition fee for some majors is even more than 3 times higher than that for master's degrees.
Although there are scholarships available for graduate students, it is uncertain whether the specific scholarships will offset the tuition fees for post-graduate studies.
In addition to the financial burden, the social recognition of a master's degree may be low, especially in the field of scientific research. The master's degree has higher requirements in terms of scientific research ability and academics, and the examination of students is more strict, while the master's degree pays more attention to the cultivation of students' practical ability.
Professional masters are relatively easy to find a job after graduation.
Although the admission score for a professional master's degree is relatively low, applicants are relatively more likely to succeed. But there are some differences between professional masters and academic masters not only in terms of study modes, but also in career prospects after graduation.
Students need to think holistically before choosing, and don't wait until the second year of graduate school to regret it, when it's too late.
However, despite the many differences between professional and academic masters, the current trend suggests that professional masters are likely to receive more attention. Some colleges and universities have even announced that they will stop recruiting academic masters from next year, and it seems that academic masters may be withdrawn from the stage of history
A number of colleges and universities have announced that they will stop recruiting academic master's students from next yearIn recent years, it seems that many colleges and universities have stopped recruiting academic masters, and the number of places for many academic master's programs is decreasing, while the number of professional master's programs is increasing, which makes many students feel a little confused.
What's more, at present, some colleges and universities have even suspended enrollment for academic 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.
According to the Ministry of Education's plan, it is expected that by 2025, the proportion of enrollment in professional master's degrees will reach 67% of the total enrollment. This figure is significantly more than half of the total enrollment.
It can be seen that in the future, there will be a gradual increase in the number of students for professional master's degrees, on the contrary, the number of students for academic master's degrees may decrease significantly. If this trend continues, the academic master's degree may eventually be phased out.
Faced with this situation, many graduate students can't help but feel a little anxious. After all, many universities have announced that they will no longer offer graduate dormitories. The cost of postgraduate entrance examination for students is constantly rising, and if the number of academic master's places decreases, then the overall cost of postgraduate entrance examination will continue to increase virtually.
In addition, if the enrollment of professional masters is expanded, the overall difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination may also increase. In the past, professional master's degree was only taken in English II, but after the expansion of enrollment, many professional master's students now also take English I, and the overall difficulty has increased, which makes many students feel that the pressure of postgraduate entrance examination has increased significantly.
