Plan for Shenbo, should a master's degree in research or teaching?

Foreign masters are generally divided into research and lectures. Among them, the master's degree in research and professors is mainly based on research and professor. The academic system is two to three years. The master's degree in teaching is more focused on employment, generally one year. Research items are generally not included during the master's degree.

Both research and lectures can apply for doctoral degrees, but the difficulty of applying is slightly different. An Liang, a doctoral application mentor of Kai Tak Education Global Doctoral Application Center, said that when the master's degree application, the applicant needs to provide a relatively complete research plan based on the master's degree research. If the master's degree needs to improve the research plan, it takes more time. "I haven't figured out whether I am going to study the blog, and I can also study a master's degree in teaching. But I need to pay attention to enriching my scientific research experience during studying." Anliang said.

The reporter learned that with the increase in the pressure of Shenbo's competition and the increase in the demand for scientific research talents, some majors of many colleges and universities have begun to turn. Master's degree is a lot higher than before. However, the master's degree in teaching can be converted into a research master. "Some high -quality lecturers in the UK have the opportunity to transfer to research -type master's courses in the second year." Anliang introduced.

Difficulties in Shenbo need to avoid strengths and avoid weaknesses

The master's degree in teaching needs to meet the requirements in all aspects. In terms of achievements, we must maintain a master's degree in academic performance to Merit (good) or more (GPA greater than 3.3). In terms of language skills, language skills TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, and GMAT need to be reviewed early, and the results are up to standard. Usually applying for a doctoral degree in IELTS 6.5/6 or above, with a small score of not less than 6 points. In terms of scientific research, we must maintain academic curiosity, participate in at least two segments with quality scientific research projects, and experience research. If the conditions are sufficient, there are two or three articles in Chinese or overseas core journals published, and the application is added. At the same time, we must pay attention to improving their research skills, participating in academic activities, and establishing academic connections.

In recent years, many people have increased their education needs. After completing the master's degree, many people joined the ranks of Shenbo. Liu Kewen, a master's degree graduated from the University of Leicester University of Leicester University, worked in enterprises and universities after graduation, and his work was relatively stable. However, after in -depth exchanges with several domestic scientific research teams, he fully understood the importance of self -improvement in the university environment. By the scholarship issued by the State Fund Commission.

In Liu Kewen's view, his application process is smooth, which has a lot to do with his goodness and weaknesses when applying for a PhD. In terms of language, because he had no time to re -examine the expired IELTS, he selected several schools that can use the British master's degree instead of language in the list of cooperative institutions. In terms of scientific research, because he has not published a dissertation during his master's degree and work, he has focused on the work he has participated in recent years, showing the basic quality of his personal scientific research. In terms of applying for scholarships, because of the first plan to apply for scholarships, at the beginning, the instructor clarified the willingness to apply for the CSC scholarship (Chinese government scholarship), and finally made it.

Regarding scientific research capabilities, Liu Kewen said that if he had not participated in scientific research projects before, it would be possible to apply for overseas doctors. To this end, he has specially consulted the mentor of Queen Mary of London, England. The instructor said: "It is normal for a doctorate to have scientific research experience or the publication of the paper." What to master is the review of the literature. Reading literature is the basis for scientific research. Looking at the literature based on your own interests is a good habit of understanding scientific research work. "

In this regard, Anliang reminded: "Although some master's degree in teaching is on the eve of graduation, you can offset the graduation thesis through more courses, but students who apply for doctors can choose not to write a paper, because this will miss the opportunity to prove their research ability. ","

Choose domestic institutions to become the new trend of Shenbo?

In addition to applying for doctors in overseas universities, many master's degrees have focused their attention to doctors in domestic colleges. In recent years, the number of returnees returning abroad has continued to rise. On September 20, the Ministry of Education introduced the international cooperation and exchanges of education since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of my country, more than 80 % of the various students of China have chosen to return to China after completing their studies.

The master's degree studies at the digital economics of King's College of London, England. Zhang Haonan, who is applying for a doctoral application to enter the School of Labor and Personnel, Renmin University of China, is a member of the return to China. He said that academically, overseas colleges pay attention to studying Western cases and policy structures, but he hopes to return to China to engage in research on China. At the level of career planning, if you cannot engage in satisfactory academic universities or research institutes, domestic selection and talent introduction policies can provide a alternative path for domestic doctors. At the level of interpersonal communication, applying for domestic doctors can expand domestic students and academic connections. "Parents are not willing to go abroad for too long, and I hope to accompany my family in China." Zhang Haonan said that the method of teaching for a master's degree in applying for a doctoral application for domestic institutions is roughly the same as foreign countries. It is necessary to provide research plan, personal statement, academic resume, two three recommendations, awards, representative collection, graduation thesis, English score certificate, certificate of English results, and proof of English scores. Graduation certificate of this grade degree certificate. However, the two roads are also slightly different. For example, applying for domestic doctors, in recent years, tend to tend to choose tutors when applying for exams, and then assign mentors after enrollment.

Based on the many advantages of domestic Shenbo, Zhang Haonan said: "For students who want to apply for selection in the future, it is a better choice to return to China. Similarly, for students with weak domestic people, domestic doctors can provide a platform to understand the academic master of the academic world. . If you need overseas experience, you can accumulate overseas experience through post -doctoral or joint training in the later period. "
