The identity of a double degree is a bit embarrassing, and some people vividly compare it to "Hei Hai" without a hukou. On the one hand, some employers don't recognize that they can't learn two majors well in four years, and the study time is short, which can't reach the level of two degrees; On the other hand, the dual degree is not in the national degree authorization system, but is set up by various schools to broaden the employment caliber of students.

According to the person in charge of the Degree Office of the Provincial Department of Education, in the national degree authorization system, there is no double degree, only a second degree. The second degree must be approved by the Ministry of Education and applied by colleges and universities. The applicant is an undergraduate who has obtained the first degree. After passing the entrance examination, they can get a second degree for two years and enjoy the same treatment as master students after graduation. However, the double degree has not been filed with the Ministry of Education, which is the independent behavior of the school. Some students will be issued two degree certificates when they graduate, and some will indicate two majors in one degree certificate, and they will not enjoy the master's treatment of the second degree.

Li, deputy director of the employment office of provincial college graduates, believes that it is best for colleges and universities to offer double degrees according to the employment situation. As long as students are willing and spare no effort to study, they can enrich their knowledge and help them find jobs. For example, the double degree of "Music+Chinese" for students of East China Jiaotong University and the double degree of "Foreign Language+Accounting" for students of Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics make the original employment rate of some majors only 40%-50%.

What kind of students are suitable for taking a double degree? Relevant experts suggest that the most important thing is personal positioning. As a college student, when you enter the school on the first day, you should know what your future development direction is, going abroad, taking the postgraduate entrance examination or getting a job? Because double degree has advantages and disadvantages, on the one hand, it can enrich your knowledge and give you "double guns", on the other hand, people's energy is limited, and double degree study will take up some professional study time. Some students who have never taken a double degree may be more refined and specialized in their professional study.

"Employers value not only academic qualifications but also work experience, and what most graduates lack is work experience." Dr. Liu from MPA Education Center of Nanchang University believes that if students are interested, it is better to study two majors than one major. As for social recognition, there is not much advantage. "Double degree" is competitive in form, but the key is to learn things and learn solidly. Only with high comprehensive quality can we be competitive, and the employer recognizes the actual working ability.

-A second degree is not valued.

As a new degree system, the double degree, that is, the second bachelor's degree, has not appeared for a long time in China. In recent years, the number of double-degree graduates has surged. From the perspective of employment, double-degree graduates are "mixed families".

Multiple degrees, multiple employment opportunities, this was very logical, but the employer gave a different voice. Dr. Wang Qunfeng, who used to be the director of human resources of Guangsha Group, believes that whether it is a double degree or not, enterprises do not attach importance to it. "The focus is on the matching degree between majors and positions."

Wang Qunfeng believes that it is reasonable for many enterprises to deny the second degree. A student has limited energy for four years in college, and a major is not deep. The second professional level can be imagined. "In most cases, technical and professional positions may not have more degrees to match them," he said, which is not inconsistent with the need for compound talents in enterprises. "If all-round talents are needed, they are often trained in rotation, and the effect is not as good as learning one more major at school."

Chen Zhou from the Talent Center of Hangdong Software Park told reporters that when choosing fresh graduates, they don't care much about the problems of several degrees, mainly their professional counterparts, and the matching degree is very high. "The first degree is often the core factor of enterprise decision-making".

-How to combine double degrees is particular.

It has been reported by the media that double-degree students have a higher employment advantage than ordinary college students. In many colleges and universities across the country, double-degree classes are full every year, and college students are enthusiastic about learning. In a university in Hangzhou, there is even a 45-seat minor class with more than 400 students enrolled.

Just like the master's degree in recent years, the master's degree has been everywhere in these two years. With the lower and lower threshold of double-degree choice, the number of double-degree graduates has increased and their competitiveness has also decreased. Although the dual-degree system has unique advantages in talent training, how to enlarge its advantages and extend it to the workplace is worth pondering.

Huang, dean of Oriental College of Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics, believes that there is no harm in learning more knowledge, but a double degree is not everything. Career planning and employment orientation must be closely linked. "What is my major? What do I have more than others? What job is suitable for me? These question marks must be understood in advance. "

In Zhejiang University of Technology, it has become a fashion to study double degrees, but some students are quite blind. "Seeing others reading books, he also went to read books; Seeing others studying this major, he also applied. Anyway, it depends. " Wu Xiangming, vice president of the School of Economics and Business Administration, said that many students' combination of the two majors is not scientific enough, or the span is too big, the learning skills are not precise enough, or the intersection is too small to broaden. "Both extremes will weaken competitiveness."

How can "1+ 1" be greater than "2"? Both the person in charge of the employer and the university attach great importance to this "plus sign".

Wang Qunfeng has a point: between the first level and the second level, the correlation needs to be stronger, overlapping and different. "This requires the school not to let students take the second degree."

In fact, many colleges and universities have realized the problem of dual-degree training and employment demand docking. Oriental College of Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics, while guiding students to define their career plans, pays more attention to the compound of professional tutors, such as 04-level tax tutors and second-degree accounting tutors. The research direction is tax accounting, so that students can learn well as well.
