What is the difference between a professional master and an academic master? First, the training methods are different. Academic master is a degree awarded by colleges and universities to cultivate teaching and scientific research talents. Professional master is to cultivate applied talents for the society, and it is a new training method to overcome the shortage of academic master. After graduation, you can get a master's degree.
Second, the enrollment conditions are different. Academic masters have no specific requirements for applicants. However, there is no specific time limit for professional masters before 2009, and there is a time limit after 2009. College students need 5 years of work experience, undergraduates need 3 years of work experience, and those who get master's or doctoral degrees need 2 years of work experience. Freshmen are not allowed to apply directly.
Third, the entrance examination is different. The academic master's examination was held in1February, which is a national unified examination. In addition, professional examinations are independently set and marked by the admissions institutions. Before 20 16, there were two examination methods for professional masters, 10, and 12. 20 16 On-the-job postgraduate reform cancelled the entrance examination in 10, leaving only 12, which is relatively difficult.
Fourth, the difficulty of admission is different. It is difficult to enter an academic master's degree, but once you enter the campus, it is easier to graduate after the course. It is difficult to recruit professional masters. Generally, colleges and universities choose the best candidates, and the competition among candidates is fierce. 5. Academic masters with different learning methods generally have a three-year academic system and part-time study; The professional master's academic system is generally 2-3 years, and full-time study can be carried out.
Which is more suitable for academic research, professional master or academic master? I want to be a teacher in colleges and universities, go to scientific research institutions and so on. I want to take a doctorate, so I suggest taking a postgraduate exam. Doctoral tutors do not accept postgraduate degrees.
Postgraduates who take the postgraduate entrance examination emphasize practice more, and the requirements for papers are not as high as those of masters. It is said that graduate students are not required to publish papers (not to write papers, but to publish them in newspapers).
All enterprises and units have the same acceptance of learning master and specialized master. Because, in China, the development of master's degree is relatively late. Originally, a graduate student in the general sense was a master's degree, so in the eyes of enterprises, a master's degree and a master's degree are the same.
In addition, foreign companies prefer a master's degree, and the development of foreign master's degree and academic master's degree is equivalent, so foreign companies will consider the practicality of master's degree.
