An old friend recently chatted with me about his daughter, who is currently studying for a master's degree in clinical medicine at a good university in Beijing, and is now in her second year of graduate school. The child told his father that it was difficult to find a job after graduating with a master's degree, and even if he returned to his hometown in a third-tier city, it was almost impossible to enter a third-class hospital. My friend also confirmed that the local tertiary hospitals needed doctors through their own local network consultation. So my friend discussed with the child whether he could continue to study for a doctorate, and the child told him that he also wanted to continue to study for a doctorate, but it was almost impossible to get the qualification for a doctorate! Everyone generally knows that it is difficult to graduate with a doctorate, but they don't know that if you don't plan properly, it will be difficult to get a doctorate qualification!
Whether you can successfully obtain a doctoral qualification is actually a plan for your graduate studies.
Master's training is generally divided into two types:Academic master's degree students and professional master's students。Academic master's students are research-oriented, focusing on theory and research, and aim to cultivate scientific research echelon personnel. Students are required to participate in certain scientific research projects, and are generally required to publish several papers in academic journals before graduation defense. Professional master's degree students pay more attention to practical application and career development. This type of graduate student trains high-level professional talents. Students are required to participate in a number of practical projects and complete graduation** in order to graduate.
In general, it is difficult for professional master's students to apply for doctoral qualifications. Because the professional master is to cultivate high-quality practical talents, and the academic master's degree (master's degree) is specially used to cultivate the academic echelon. Therefore, when you plan to study for a master's degree, you should consider your future career plan, and if you plan to study for a doctorate, you should choose a master's degree instead of a master's degree. Of course, this is not absolute, and I am talking about most cases here.
If you plan to study for a PhD, you should pay attention to it first after entering the master's degreeDegree courses。Master's degrees usually have 1-2 semesters of degree classes, which are almost every day as when you were an undergraduate. The results of degree courses are very important for the transfer of doctoral degree courses in the second year of graduate school, and generally schools will have relatively high requirements for degree courses for students who transfer from master's to doctoral degrees. Secondly, to actively participate in the supervisor's scientific research projects, you should spend a lot of time doing experiments and checking literature, and strive to have academic journals before graduating from the master's degree, which is the most important condition for the supervisor when applying for a doctorate.
Master's degree transfer is a good opportunity to study for a doctorate, so that in the third year of graduate school, it is trained according to the doctorate, and the scientific research results during the master's degree can also be counted as a condition for doctoral graduation, and the most important thing is to obtain a doctorate as soon as possible. Generally, students graduate with a master's degree and a doctorate in 5 years.
If you plan to study for a PhD and have not seized the opportunity to transfer to a PhD, then you can only apply for a PhD after obtaining a master's degree. In this case, priority will be given to whether your master's supervisor has a doctoral enrollment plan, and if not, then consider applying for other supervisors. In either case, you need the support of your own master's supervisor, because the supervisor is often more aware of the enrollment situation of other supervisors in the circle, and the recommendation of the supervisor is generally required to apply for a doctorate.
As a representative of the highest degree in the country, a doctorate is essential to the development of the country and society. They have a deep academic background and innovation ability to promote scientific and technological progress, cultural prosperity and social progress. Ph.D. is also an important embodiment of the country's core competitiveness, providing solid talent guarantee and intellectual support for the country's long-term development.
