1, fierce competition: doctor's degree is the highest degree in higher education, and the transfer to doctor's degree needs to go through strict selection and evaluation procedures. Due to the scarcity of doctoral degrees, the competition among applicants is fierce, and the number of places for master students to transfer to doctoral degrees is usually limited.
2. High academic requirements: The research requirements of the doctoral stage are more in-depth and professional, requiring strong academic ability and research quality. Applicants for doctoral transfer need to be able to prove that they have these abilities and are competent for independent scientific research.
3. It is difficult to match the research direction: it is necessary to match the research direction of the tutor and the research team when transferring to a doctoral degree. Some tutors or research teams may already have full doctoral places, or their research focus does not meet the applicant's research interests. So finding a suitable tutor or research team is also one of the difficulties.
4. Time and resources required: it takes more time and energy to transfer to a doctor's degree, and it may take a longer study period. In addition, doctoral research usually requires more research funds and experimental equipment, which is also a test. Therefore, it is difficult for Minzu University of China to change from a master's degree to a doctor's degree.
