Why do British graduate students spend a year?
The British master's degree is only one year, because the training purpose of the British master's degree is not scientific research, but employment. The study time of teaching-oriented masters is mostly one year. Middle school students have a heavy academic task to complete in one year, and there will be a lot of homework, exams and assessments. Students will find their own internships and jobs after graduation. Of course, there are also research-oriented masters in the UK to conduct academic research, which generally takes two years to study. Extended information Because the master's degree in studying in the UK is only one year, the curriculum is relatively compact, and students' academic tasks are also very heavy. It is not easy for international students to graduate successfully by their own efforts. The first semester is 65438+February from September to Christmas holiday, the second semester is from June to April Easter, and the last semester is from April to June. After the exam, the whole master's course is almost over. The days of graduate students' classes are over, but they still have to hand in their graduation research papers. It takes a long time to write a paper. Some people submit it within the specified time, and some people and tutors apply for an extension of the time limit, so it can be completed in the shortest year. Education in Britain pays attention to students' autonomous learning. In just one year, students learn mainly by themselves, and can't rely too much on the help of teachers.
