Applying for a master's degree in software engineering has academic background and knowledge background, that is, the requirements of degree certificate and examination results. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, candidates applying for a master's degree in software engineering must have a bachelor's degree or a series of bachelor's degrees from national education universities. Both fresh graduates and on-the-job personnel can participate, regardless of their original major or age. However, this does not mean that you can get a master's degree in software engineering as long as you have a bachelor's degree. Universities such as Peking University and Beijing University of Technology also offer second degree courses in software engineering for non-computer majors. The goal of this kind of students is to apply the technical knowledge of software engineering to their original majors, so their learning depth is relatively low, and they mainly take basic courses, and their admission conditions are lower than the requirements of master's degree.

According to the regulations, applying for a master's degree in software engineering requires taking the entrance examination. The examination includes two parts: the national entrance examination and the examination organized by software colleges in colleges and universities. The examination subjects are foreign languages, mathematics (A), professional foundation and professional integration.

Among them, the national entrance examination for foreign languages and mathematics is held once a year in May and 65438+February. Professional basic and comprehensive examinations are organized by various training units, and the examination subjects include data structure, database, software engineering, etc. Tian teacher from the School of Software, Beijing University of Technology, said that non-computer-related students need to work hard to master this knowledge.

In addition, the examination methods adopted by schools are different. Peking University and Fudan University require the fresh graduates who applied for the master of software engineering in 2003 to take the national unified entrance examination for graduate students in the middle of June 5438+ 10, 2003, as the results of the initial examination, and also take the re-examination (including written examination and oral examination) of the school.

Candidates with the same academic level should try two major university courses if they pass the re-examination. According to the regulations of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, mathematics and foreign languages will take the joint examination organized by the National Center for Degree and Postgraduate Education Development, and the basic and comprehensive professional examinations will be put forward by the school itself, and interviews will be organized to select the best candidates. Bibliography is also decided by each school. Nanjing University is studying for a master's degree in software engineering on the job, and implements independent proposition and enrollment. Written test: basic comprehensive (400 marks): including Chinese (100 mark), mathematics (100 mark), logic (100 mark) and English (100 mark). Professional foundation (200 points): including data structure (100 points) and operating system (100 points). Interview (200 points): professional integration, oral English.
