Different training objectives
Master's degree is to cultivate scientific research talents, with university teachers and researchers in scientific research institutions as professional objectives and theoretical education as the main purpose. Students can obtain academic qualifications and degree certificates after graduation, and their social recognition is relatively high. Compared with master's degree, academic graduate students have sufficient theoretical knowledge, but lack practical and applied ability, and their practical ability is relatively weak.
The major focuses on theoretical research and practical application, and the most prominent feature is the combination of academic and professional. It mainly cultivates senior applied talents who have a solid professional theoretical foundation, practical ability to solve problems and professionalism in a certain profession or industry. People with general master's degrees often engage in practice-oriented work such as engineers, accountants and lawyers.
2. Different cultivation methods
The master's degree is mainly based on basic theoretical study, with a duration of 3 years. Professional masters are oriented to practical applications and aim at professional needs. The teaching content emphasizes the organic combination of theory and application. In addition, the major pays attention to case analysis and practical research, and pays attention to cultivating students' awareness and ability to study practical problems. There are at least half a year's practical links in the learning process, with a schooling period of 2 years.

Except for business administration and other majors, most graduates have no work experience requirements for applicants, which means that both recent graduates and previous graduates can apply for the exam. However, some majors, such as Master of Management (MPA), require candidates to have relevant work experience. In addition, for interdisciplinary, medical majors, whether master or master, are generally not allowed.
