Now the competition for master's degree is very fierce. The competition in Shandong Normal University is relatively mild, and there is no fierce competition in cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan. Because Shandong Normal University applied to set up a doctoral program in education a few years ago, it is more intense than such schools as Hebei Normal University. The competition between these two majors is similar. Preschool major is estimated to be fierce, because many normal universities have opened undergraduate courses in this major, and there are not many undergraduate courses in primary education, which is relatively easy.
