I. Overview of Master's Degree
The official master's degree is má ster official/má ster Universitario, which is a degree established by the government. The Ministry of Education issues certificates directly. If a school wants to add an official master's degree, it must be evaluated by relevant departments, and it has been supervised since then, focusing on academic research.
The master's degree of this school is Máster Propio/Título Propio, which is independently established by this school. It has high flexibility. The school directly issues relevant certificates, and the recognition is not high. The curriculum arrangement is biased towards practice and pays more attention to improving students' practical ability.
Second, the admission criteria
The official master's admission is unified throughout the country, and it must meet the academic and language standards set by the government and be selected on the basis of merit. There will be a stricter audit mode and stricter standards. Applicants must ensure that their abilities meet the standards.
Because the school enrolls students independently, there will be many variables and changes in the standards, the overall threshold will be lower, and there will be a basic requirement for academics and language. If students are particularly excellent in some aspects, the standards will be relaxed.
Third, official certification.
All Spanish official and master's degrees can be certified by the Ministry of Education of China. As long as students successfully get the certificate and are certified, they can directly apply for a job with a certified degree after returning to China, and the recognition is very high.
Although the government has not explicitly stated that a master's degree cannot be certified, domestic state-owned enterprises do not recognize job seekers with a master's degree, and students with a master's degree certificate cannot continue their studies.
Fourth, the cost of studying abroad.
Generally speaking, officials and masters will generally receive financial subsidies from the government, the school fees will be cheaper, and there will be more suspicious applications for scholarships, so the study fees will be lower, so they will be more popular with domestic students.
The master of the school is studying abroad at his own expense, and all the expenses need to be borne by himself, so the overall cost will be slightly higher, but there will also be scholarships here. Excellent students can get full scholarships and study abroad for free.
