Gold content of currency
As for the problem of gold content, we should now look at it correctly.
A few years ago, people would think that returnees were gilded back; Now, with the expansion of the group of international students, this view doesn't seem to exist, so don't think that studying abroad will change dramatically.
However, to some extent, overseas students are exposed to a broader and more inclusive world than domestic students, so many overseas students we meet have a high vision, and they will have more self-thinking, logic and independence, which is what foreign universities want to teach you, critical thinking. There are no absolute things in this world. Famous schools have scum, and ordinary schools have tyrants. What matters is what you want and what you can achieve.
Of course, no matter how powerful you think you are, the most important thing is to be recognized when you go back to China to find a job after your master's degree. One kind of recognition is the official version, that is, the British degree recognized by the Ministry of Education. You can look at the information published on the website of foreign-related supervision, and you can find out which British universities are recognized by the Ministry of Education of China through this website.
The second is the popularity of the school in the industry, which is related to the ranking. China will look at the QS world rankings, especially the civil servants in public institutions. Foreign companies and private enterprises will also attach importance to it and like the World Top 100. Therefore, if you can go to a higher ranking institution, try to go.
As far as QS ranking is concerned, British schools are very dominant. Many students can go to the top 100 schools in the world. However, in the postgraduate stage, we still need to consider the professional ranking, that is, the popularity in the industry. Some schools may not be well-known in the industry, but they will return to China to find a professional counterpart. HR or senior executives of some companies will know that, for example, Huawei recruits a master's degree from Southampton University, because they know that the school's electronics, electrical and computer majors are very good. Westminster also has majors in translation and news media, and has also sent many talents to China CCTV and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The sky is vast, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. A student with clear career goals and ideals knows how to make good use of the tools he can get to enhance his value and get what he wants. Therefore, water is not water, and whether there is gold depends largely on individuals.
Master's degree system
British masters are mainly divided into teaching masters (MA, Msc, LLM, MEng) and research masters (MPhil, MRes). Master's degree in teaching is generally one-year and two-year (but rarely). There are two kinds of research-oriented masters, one is MPhil, also called Master of Philosophy, and the other is MRes.
Master of MPhil usually studies for two years, and was awarded a degree when he was studying for Ph.D. because the research progress was not up to standard, he failed the exam or other reasons. It shows that the student has been trained as a doctor, but has not reached the level of a doctor.
MPhil can also apply as an independent degree. In this case, students who successfully complete MPhil can jump directly to the final year of PhD, and if the research is excellent, they will be awarded a PhD degree directly. However, the application conditions of MPhil and PhD are the same, and both applicants need to have a certain professional research background. Especially the writing of research plan is the most daunting. Due to the high application requirements, it is almost impossible for ordinary undergraduates to apply for PhD or MPhil directly.
The application of MRes may also need to apply for research proposals like doctoral application or MPhil application. For most domestic applicants, it is also difficult to apply, and generally only science and engineering students have a master's degree in MReseach, so if they don't really want to do scientific research and have insufficient research experience, they will generally apply for teaching a master's degree in science.
I believe many students and parents have doubts. I will write a paper in class that year. What can you learn in such a short time?
In fact, not only the master's degree system in Britain is short, but also the academic system in other learning stages will be shorter. For example, the undergraduate course in Britain is a three-year system except Scotland; It usually takes only two years for international students to attend high school in Britain; It only takes two years for an average international student to study junior high school in Britain. Looking at other countries and regions, the United States, Canada, Australia and Hong Kong also generally have master's programs, sometimes as long as nine months or a year. So it's not that you can't learn something in a short time, but how to learn.
Then let's see how to finish the British master's degree in one year.
Teacher-student interaction (classroom questioning, special counseling, after-class discussion)
Classroom teaching (including individuals and groups; Class, prepare in advance)
Group discussion (class, homework, exercises)
Case analysis (class, homework, quizzes, exams)
Seminar (special report, enterprise forum, academic exchange)
Practical operation (experiment, enterprise, practice, computer simulation)
Access to information (library, Internet, newspapers and periodicals, microfilm)
Small newspapers (individuals, groups)
Special report (group, teacher guidance, market research)
Quiz (in class, mid-term; Computer test, written test, oral test)
Final exam (open book, closed book, big homework, speech)
The above is basically the whole content of British master's study, and their teaching forms are also very rich. Some projects also provide opportunities to visit large enterprises for simulation, and the school will also invite some big names to share with us.
