Is there a big difference between part-time graduate students and full-time graduate students?
Recently, the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Coordinating the Management of Full-time and Part-time Postgraduates (hereinafter referred to as the Notice). Starting from 2065438+200665438+200665438+20021,the national postgraduate students will be formally divided into full-time and part-time forms, and the academic degree certificates of part-time and full-time postgraduate students have the same legal status and the same effect. This is another major reform measure after the cancellation of the national entrance examination for postgraduate students in service, which has attracted the attention of many students and employees who are preparing or planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

The circular standardizes the difference between full-time and part-time graduate students, and reveals the future views and trends of the country on the development of graduate education. However, what impact does it have on the difficulty of candidates themselves and the gold content of future graduation? New Oriental Online National Postgraduate Research Center makes the following analysis for everyone.

First, the definition angle: emphasize the learning style itself and ease the contradiction between "graduate school or employment"

Full-time graduate students refer to full-time graduate students studying at school, and part-time graduate students refer to graduate students who take part-time study in various ways and flexible time arrangements while engaging in other professional or social practices. This reveals a policy orientation of the country: instead of emphasizing identity characteristics, it emphasizes learning style itself, eliminating everyone's choice on the contradictory issue of "graduate school or employment". If you really don't concentrate on scientific research, then graduate school and employment can be carried out at the same time.

Second, enrollment: unified requirements &; With the same quality, part-time postgraduate entrance examination will be more difficult.

Full-time and part-time postgraduate examination enrollment will follow the national unified requirements and implement the same policies and standards. The circular also requires that the same standards should be adhered to to to ensure the same quality. In the past, most students who applied for part-time graduate students found their own shortcomings at work. In order to "recharge" themselves, they will choose to study while working. The national entrance examination held in June+10, 5438 was less difficult, but starting from this year, the entrance examination will be cancelled in June+10, 5438, and the related work will be included in the national unified entrance examination for postgraduate students, and the same policies and standards will be implemented, which will inevitably increase the difficulty of the examination. On-the-job candidates are short of time and energy. In addition, due to the lack of teachers' guidance and efficient preparation environment, it is not easy to prepare for the exam. Now the exam is more difficult, which makes many candidates very confused. It is recommended that part-time candidates with poor learning foundation sign up for counseling courses as much as possible. If time does not allow, I suggest you choose online courses and attend classes anytime and anywhere. Please visit New Oriental Online official website for specific counseling content.

Third, certificate management: part-time graduate students issue double certificates, which improves the gold content and social recognition.

From the perspective of certificate management, the notice stipulates that when full-time and part-time graduate students graduate, their institutions of higher learning or other institutions of higher education will issue corresponding graduation certificates indicating their learning methods in accordance with relevant state regulations; Those whose academic level has reached the degree standard stipulated by the state may apply for the award of the corresponding degree certificate. To put it simply, candidates who enroll after 20 16 12 1 will mark the words "full-time" and "part-time" on the graduate diploma according to the specific form of online application, and the degree certificates of full-time and part-time graduate students will remain unchanged.

The "Notice" specifically stipulates that full-time and part-time graduate students implement the same examination enrollment policy and training standards, and their academic degree certificates have the same legal status and the same effect. For part-time graduate students, after the reform, the "gold content" of their graduation certificate will be significantly improved, and social recognition will also be improved.

In addition, the notice issued by the Ministry of Education actually sent another signal, that is, the state intends to train practical research talents to adapt to social development. Part-time master's degree and professional master's degree give candidates who want to enter the workplace after graduation a more suitable postgraduate training way. The country is also gradually guiding those students who are determined to engage in academic research to apply for academic masters from the direction of colleges and universities, and gradually forming a postgraduate training model suitable for social needs.

From September 24th, this year's postgraduate entrance examination forecast began. At this stage, for the students who have confirmed the institutions, the notice will not have a particularly great impact on us, especially for the fresh undergraduate students who plan to apply for full-time enrollment, so there is no need to be distracted to consider these for the time being. For students who are in the period of postgraduate entrance examination or employment hesitation, besides full-time graduate students, there is another way to increase their work experience and improve their academic qualifications, which can be considered comprehensively in combination with their future development direction; For on-the-job candidates, after overall management, the examination and teaching of part-time graduate students will be more difficult, and it is inevitable that some people will back down. However, no matter how it changes, the biggest challenge facing the friends at present is themselves. As long as they have a firm belief in winning, review in a down-to-earth manner and stick to the end, they will certainly grow up.
