The part-time master of accounting at the Chinese University of Hong Kong is a graduate student of TPG. This one-year master's degree in returnees is not recognized in China, and it is often questioned by employers to some extent.
I. Postgraduate Courses (TPG)
Teaching-oriented masters correspond to professional masters in China, all of which are employment-oriented. Judging from the talent market, they need students to master more knowledge or skills that meet the job requirements.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong has a clear division in the direction of postgraduate training. For example, after graduating from college, if you study to improve your academic qualifications and find a better job in the future, you can choose to study as a one-year teaching graduate student. Only students who are committed to scientific research need to choose to apply for research-oriented graduate students.
Not only overseas students in Hong Kong, but also Commonwealth countries such as Britain, Australia and New Zealand have a large number of "one-year masters", and the United States also has a small number of one-year master courses, such as LLM.
Second, postgraduate courses.
Research-oriented courses are equivalent to domestic academic masters, while the research-oriented postgraduate courses of the Chinese University of Hong Kong are more demanding. Professors in colleges often choose their own candidates. The biggest difference is that if you choose research-oriented postgraduate courses, you often need to study directly (that is, master's and doctoral studies), otherwise the professor may not choose. This is because the contents of research-oriented postgraduate courses are all about their recent research, invention or development achievements and other projects or topics. Projects or projects take a long time, some of which may take several years, so they will require direct training before they are willing to recruit.
If you are a technical talent and want to study some achievements in the future, of course, it will be more appropriate to choose a research-oriented postgraduate course.
Third, the embarrassment and helplessness of "one-year master of returnees"
Employers lack judgment, so they won't delve into how overseas China students are doing. Judging an applicant only by the study time is a simple judgment, which can be said to be prejudice; The gold content of a degree has nothing to do with the system, but the key issue lies in the training process, that is, how to arrange courses, how to choose students and how to grasp the quality. But what is clear at a glance is the length of study time, which is also the place where the "one-year master" is most easily questioned. Because even according to the time from admission to graduation ceremony, it will take at most one and a half years. This is because there is still a graduation ceremony about half a year before the end of the course.
Although there are some misunderstandings and controversies about this kind of foreign "professional masters", as young students in the new era, in China,
After years of basic education and undergraduate higher education, we should go out, accept the idea and practice of higher education better than ours, and broaden our horizons while expanding the diversified experience of higher education.
Wild, increase knowledge.
