What's the difference between domestic graduate students and foreign graduate students?

First, the study time: the domestic master's degree system is 2-3 years, mostly 3 years; The master's degree system abroad is generally 1-2 years, and the curriculum is very compact and rich. If you finish the credits ahead of time, you can apply for graduation in advance.

Second, the degree of difficulty: relatively speaking, it is easier to apply for approval abroad.

Third, operational ability: studying abroad pays more attention to daily training and practical operational ability, and test scores are only one of the evaluation criteria, not all.

4. Grading: In China, we often say that graduate students often refer to masters, and doctors are doctoral students, which is strictly different from graduate students. However, in foreign universities, graduate degrees can be divided into master's degrees and doctoral degrees, and graduate students include master's degrees and doctoral degrees.

5. From the perspective of the admission system? Domestic graduate students adopt a unified examination system, and one exam will be fixed for life. Foreign graduate students adopt the application system, and pay more attention to the applicant's GPA, language performance and internship experience at the undergraduate level. At the same time, pay more attention to students' operational ability.

Sixth, from the point of view of curriculum, foreign countries pay more attention to practical operation, and credits are only one of the evaluation criteria.

7. From the employment situation? Judging from the employment situation in recent years, students with foreign graduate experience are more likely to find good jobs, and the speed of promotion and salary increase after job-hopping is very fast. Because of the exclusive treatment of returnees, there are settlement points, exemption from purchase tax, application for venture capital, extra points for immigrants and so on.

Extended data

The study of graduate students is based on the credit system. Courses, like undergraduate courses, include compulsory courses and elective courses. Generally speaking, the study period of academic graduate students is 3 years, and that of professional graduate students is 2 years. However, there are also special circumstances. As we all know, graduate students can be divided into academic graduate students and professional graduate students, so there is a difference between the two types of study years. And like a university, although the undergraduate course is generally four years, some majors will be five years or even longer, which is related to the major.

Many schools stipulate that if you complete the required credits in advance and meet certain conditions, you can apply for early graduation. According to the regulations, the study period of in-service postgraduate students can be extended by one year accordingly. The types of graduate students in China are complicated and can be divided from the following angles.
