Chen Xinyu said that unlike the admission criteria for postgraduate students in mainland universities, the University of Macau pays attention to the evaluation of students' comprehensive quality, and students' postgraduate entrance examination results in the mainland are for reference only. In addition, the University of Macau also requires mainland students to have an average score of 75 or above, pass CET-4 and have letters of recommendation issued by famous professors or scholars, which are the basic conditions for mainland students to apply for graduate students.
After Chen Xinyu passed the qualification examination of the University of Macau, the University of Macau conducted a telephone interview with him at the end of June. "What do you think of China's current economic development?" "How do you evaluate the economic development of your hometown?" ... "tricky" examiners mainly ask questions in the general direction.
It is understood that Chen Xinyu spent more than 70,000 yuan in Macau for two years as a graduate student. If you can't finish your graduation thesis on time within two years, graduation will be postponed.
Since 2007, 10 colleges and universities, including Peking University, Tsinghua, Zhejiang University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Tongji University, Xi Jiaotong University, China Agricultural University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, etc., will carry out pilot reform of postgraduate training mechanism, and the reform will eliminate the distinction between publicly funded and self-funded postgraduate students, which means that students have to pay tuition fees for postgraduate studies. Taking this 10 university as a pilot, it is estimated that graduate fees will be fully rolled out when conditions are ripe.
Different from students studying in mainland universities, universities in Hong Kong and Macao have some incomparable advantages besides relatively high tuition fees: First, in an international metropolis, universities have numerous international exchange programs; Second, although universities in Hong Kong and Macao teach in English, they are still dominated by Chinese. Third, after graduating from universities in Hong Kong and Macao, there will be more choices for employment development. It is precisely because of these advantages that more and more mainland students turn their attention to universities in Hong Kong and Macao. At present, there are 200 mainland students studying for master's degrees at the University of Macau.
