In terms of discipline level and the construction of master's degree and doctoral degree, Shanghai Ocean University has two first-class master's degrees in applied economics and agricultural and forestry economic management in the field of economic management, and a master's degree in public administration; University of international business and economics has four master's degrees in applied economics, business administration, theoretical economics and statistics. Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance has only one master's degree in auditing, but no academic master's degree. Shanghai Customs College has two professional degree programs, namely, a master's degree in administration and a master's degree in taxation, without a first-class master's degree. In the field of law, Shanghai Ocean University obtained a first-class master's degree in law in 2020, and made a breakthrough in the construction of law specialty. Of the above four universities, only university of international business and economics holds a master's degree and a master's degree in law. In terms of literature, both Shanghai Ocean University and Shanghai university of international business and economics have master's programs in foreign languages and literature. However, because Shanghai Ocean University has four first-level doctoral programs, we can use the first-level doctoral programs to train second-level interdisciplinary doctors, such as those in fishery economic management. In this respect, university of international business and economics really suffers a little in discipline development and training because she doesn't have a first-class doctorate.
However, Shanghai Ocean University is second-class, equivalent to 2 1 1 university level, so it is better than Shanghai university of international business and economics.
