What should graduate students do if they want to be university teachers?

If you want to be a university teacher, the postgraduate education major is more suitable for you.

The threshold of a university teacher: a doctorate (except for relatively special majors such as art and sports).

The recruitment requirements of teachers in colleges and universities vary greatly at different levels. Except for individual majors such as sports and art, the minimum requirement is a master's degree, and other positions generally require a doctor's degree.

★ 2 1 1/985 Recruitment requirements of colleges and universities:

Excellent doctoral/postdoctoral/professor-level talents from world famous schools such as Harvard, CMU, MIT and Cambridge;

985/2 1 1 University/China Academy of Sciences/Excellent doctoral/postdoctoral students who graduated from national key disciplines (100 excellent doctoral dissertations or outstanding scientific research ability/level);

Through social recruitment, dig professor-level talents from universities above 2 1 1;

Universities of this grade recruit relatively few teachers in China, and the trend of internationalization of teachers is obvious, which meets the needs of foreign exchange and has obvious characteristics of globalization.

★ Provincial key universities and universities below generally recruit excellent postgraduate doctors from 985/21/universities/Chinese Academy of Sciences/national key disciplines;

★ The recruitment of teachers in colleges and universities at the school-running level requires a master's degree, which is far lower than the requirements of the above two levels of colleges and universities;

From the actual situation, the minimum requirement for recruiting teachers in most colleges and universities is to graduate from a key university with 2 1 1 or above, which means that the graduate school does not belong to 985/2 1 1, so it is difficult to teach in colleges and universities unless you go to a poor university;

At present, the recruitment of teachers in domestic colleges and universities pays attention to academic qualifications and graduation schools. Some schools require the same or similar majors, and have inspection and requirements on the quality and quantity of graduation thesis. There are certain requirements for scientific research ability, which is very different from that of middle school teachers. Recruiting teachers in colleges and universities never needs to examine psychology, pedagogy, etc. And you don't need a teacher qualification certificate. That's good.
