On-the-job graduate students of Shandong University have two ways: January entrance examination and Shen Shuo with equivalent academic qualifications, both of which need to take the examination. Although on-the-job graduate students with the same academic level can enter the school without taking the test to participate in the course study, students must also take the Shenshuo exam if they want to get the master's degree certificate.

1, January entrance examination: On-the-job graduate students of Shandong University who apply for the January entrance examination will take the examination before studying. Students need to take the entrance examination to enter the school. After the course, students who successfully pass the thesis defense can get master's degree certificates and academic certificates.

2. Shen Shuo with equivalent academic qualifications: On-the-job graduate students of Shandong University who apply for Shen Shuo with equivalent academic qualifications are required to study first and then take the exam. Students need to study related courses and meet certain conditions before they can take the Shenshuo exam with the same academic ability. After successfully passing the Shen Shuo exam, students also need to defend their thesis, and students who successfully pass the thesis defense can get a master's degree certificate.

Therefore, no matter which way employees choose to apply for in-service graduate students in Shandong University, they all need to take the exam, but the difficulty of the exam is different.

I hope it helps you. If you have any other questions, please consult the in-service postgraduate enrollment teacher of Shandong University.
