In the graduation season, as a master's graduate, we will face a fork in the road in life: choose employment or continue to study for a doctorate? With the rapid change of social situation and increasing employment pressure, people's requirements for academic qualifications and degrees are getting higher and higher. Doctor's degree is the highest degree in China's degree system. Obtaining a doctor's degree and academic qualifications has affirmed your achievements in this field to some extent. For those students who yearn for higher knowledge and want to reach a higher academic level, studying for a doctorate has become the choice of many students.

However, many students know very little about the way of reading PhD in China and don't know how to prepare. I've sorted out the relevant information about reading PhD in China for your reference. Under the current education system in China, there are six main learning methods for full-time doctoral students:

0 1, general registration

Initial examination (English+specialized course 1+ specialized course 2)+ second examination (interview), which is the most common way to read a blog. Students pass the national unified examination for doctoral students, interview after passing the line, and finally choose the best candidates, which is similar to the postgraduate entrance examination, but there are also differences. Different from the national unified enrollment of doctoral students, each school has its own enrollment time, so students need to pay close attention to the doctoral enrollment notice or brochure of the target institution official website. Moreover, the examination is conditional: ① candidates who have obtained a master's degree can apply directly; (2) After graduating from undergraduate work for 5 years, I have achieved certain results in the professional field I applied for, and I applied for the exam with the same academic ability. For specific requirements, please consult the recruitment office teacher of the school you want to apply for.

02. Application review (evaluation) system

(1) Apply for review

Exempting from the initial examination (online registration, submission of materials for review) and re-examination (interview/comprehensive assessment) is a relatively fair way to take the doctoral examination, which is also the gospel of non-graduate students. The application examination system is a kind of examination mode that does not need to participate in the unified examination, but only needs "application and examination", which is simpler than the unified examination mode.

(2) Apply for evaluation

It is also exempted from the initial test (online registration, submission of materials review)+re-examination, that is, the re-examination stage has one more written test link than the application review. After the graduate students meet the basic conditions for studying PhD in colleges and universities, they can study PhD through the examinations organized by colleges and universities.

At present, many colleges and universities have implemented this application assessment system, which has become the mainstream way for major universities in China to recruit doctoral students. But it also makes many students who want to pass the exam to study for a doctorate feel disgusted with this assessment method. Although different institutions have different conditions and requirements for applying for evaluation, some of them are very demanding: on the one hand, the requirements for applying for evaluation are very high, such as the quantity and quality of SCI papers, which makes many students who have no scientific research achievements during their master's degree flinch. On the other hand, it also stifled the hopes of many ordinary students who want to go ashore by virtue of exams.

Note: To apply for a doctorate, you must contact your tutor in advance! To be on the safe side, it is generally necessary to contact more tutors from different schools.

03. Master's degree and continuous reading.

After the master's entrance, he passed the examination of changing majors in the fourth and fifth semesters to meet the relevant standards of the school, so as to determine the qualifications for continuing to study for master's and doctor's degrees, and then he was trained by continuing to study for master's and doctor's degrees, and directly entered the doctor's stage from the third year of research. This way of reading a doctor can be read directly without passing the unified examination and completing the master's thesis. This is one year less than the above two methods, and it only takes five years to complete doctoral training and obtain doctoral degrees and academic qualifications. Therefore, students who want to study for a master's degree, have excellent grades and strong innovation ability, must make clear their goals as soon as possible and consider applying in advance. After all, there are still many competitors.

04. Attack Bo in advance

Students who study for a doctorate in advance are uncertain about their status as graduate students when they enter school, and only select doctoral students at the thesis stage and after the topic is opened. This choice is also a two-way choice. Different from the way of studying for a master's degree and a doctor's degree in succession, studying for a doctor's degree in advance requires completing a master's thesis and obtaining a master's degree through thesis defense.

05. Hit Bo directly

In short, the direct attack on PhD is "continuing to study for a master's degree". In some universities and certain disciplines, fresh undergraduates can skip the postgraduate stage and directly obtain the qualification to pursue doctoral degrees by choosing a school. Generally speaking, science, engineering and medicine are the main ways to study for a doctor, especially for a doctor, who has to continue to study for a doctor in order to lay a solid medical foundation. Moreover, students who study PhD in this way are definitely masters of learning.

06, joint training, directional assistance, scientific research assistant, etc.

These are joint training and targeted support between specific universities. In response to the call of the country, students who want to apply for the exam can check the corresponding enrollment brochure published by the graduate enrollment network or consult the admissions office teacher of their own school. In addition, it is also a good choice to be a research assistant for a tutor for one year. In the second year, you can also study directly without taking the exam (I just heard that Amway is for everyone).

The above six ways of reading doctoral programs usually refer to full-time doctors. If you have already joined the work, these methods may not be suitable for you, and studying for an in-service doctor is also an option. There are two main ways to apply for in-service doctors in domestic colleges and universities: ① to take the exam with the doctors who are recruited by the unified system; ② Application for equivalent education.

Then, after understanding the enrollment method of doctoral students, we need to see which enrollment method we are suitable for, and then complete our study and scientific research tasks according to the enrollment method. But the most important thing is to study the academic achievements of the first stage and your own scientific research tasks, which will be of great help when applying for a doctorate or writing a thesis.

Those who are watching, maybe you are still confused. I hope you can make up your mind quickly and wait for me. Generally speaking, there are still many ways to read blogs. As long as you seize the opportunity, everything will come true. Finally, I wish all students with doctoral dreams can realize their academic dreams! Come on!
