According to statistics, the number of applicants for the 20 19 postgraduate entrance examination nationwide was 2.9 million, 520,000 more than last year, with an increase of 2 1.8%. Although it is still difficult to draw a conclusion about the number of graduate students in 2020, judging from the annual growth of graduate students, the number of graduate students in 2020 is likely to exceed 3 million. Tang Zekun, general manager of Jinghong Education, said that the increasing employment pressure and employment threshold, as well as the increasing demand of well-known companies for jobs with graduate degrees, have made many students hope to obtain more academic resources and realize their employment goals by studying for postgraduate degrees, which is the main reason why a large number of people join the postgraduate entrance examination army.
Under such a trend, domestic postgraduate entrance examination or going abroad for postgraduate study has once again become a hot topic. Facing the increasingly fierce competition for postgraduate entrance examination in China, some people support going abroad for postgraduate study, believing that it has the advantages of low time cost, flexible admission system and improved employment skills. Besides, you can broaden your horizons, get in touch with multiculturalism and understand the cutting-edge information of the industry, but the cost of several hundred thousand yuan is prohibitive. There are also some people who think that the economic pressure of domestic postgraduate entrance examination is relatively small, and they can accumulate network resources. However, the domestic scientific research academic environment is relatively weak, and the postgraduate study period of two or three years is somewhat long. In fact, the main differences between the two include: First, the time cost. Postgraduates in China are usually divided into 2-3 years according to the master's degree and master's degree, while studying abroad is usually 1-2 years, and the academic system in Britain and other countries is generally 1 year. The second is the difficulty of admission. The number of graduate students in China is increasing year by year, and each candidate can only apply for one major in one school. The competition between popular schools and majors is fierce, so it is necessary to conduct preliminary examination and re-examination screening. Studying abroad is an application system, and students can apply to multiple institutions at the same time. Third, in terms of cost, the tuition fee for studying abroad in China is generally around 8,000 ~ 20,000 yuan per year. But some full-time or part-time masters are more expensive, depending on the school and major; If you study abroad, the cost will vary according to the country and school. Tuition fees in Britain and America are relatively high, ranging from 6,543,800 to 300,000 per year, but there are also scholarships and cheap countries to choose from. Judging from the employment trend, domestic graduate studies are very helpful for entering state units and institutions; The advantage of studying abroad is that most units have adopted preferential policies for returnees.
Tang Zekun said that domestic postgraduate entrance examination and study abroad have their own advantages. I suggest you avoid blindly following the crowd, make clear the significance and planning of your postgraduate entrance examination, and consider it comprehensively according to your ideal, ability and cost. For example, people who prefer institutions or state-owned enterprises may have more advantages in studying in China; People who expect foreign-funded enterprises may be more suitable for studying abroad. It should be noted that many foreign universities follow the principle of "first come, first served", and the earlier they apply, the easier it is to succeed. And you must choose a school officially certified by the Ministry of Education in case the diploma is not recognized.
