What's the difference between studying in China and studying abroad? What are their advantages and disadvantages?

This problem can be explained by the article:

First, the cost.

Domestic: From the pilot reform of postgraduate training mechanism in three universities in 2006 to the research and recruitment in 56 graduate schools in 2008, the proportion of self-funded postgraduate training in 20 10 has been further expanded, and postgraduate entrance examination has discouraged some students. Although most universities after the reform grant scholarships and grants to finance outstanding graduate students, overall, the learning cost of graduate students has risen sharply. The author inquired about the self-funded postgraduate tuition in some universities and found that the average annual tuition is 6000-10000 yuan. In addition, the expenses needed during the postgraduate entrance examination, such as attending remedial classes and buying various counseling materials, are generally around 2,000 yuan. If you are studying in a foreign university, you generally need to take some professional courses at school or contact a tutor. This part of the cost can not be calculated specifically, and it is also a big cost.

Going abroad: the cost of studying abroad for graduate students varies greatly according to the different countries studying abroad. Generally speaking, the high exchange rate of RMB against foreign currency reduces the cost of studying abroad, and it is no longer a dream for working families to study abroad. For example, at present, Germany can continue to enjoy the same tuition-free treatment as international students and nationals, and international students only need to bear their own living expenses; If you go to a French public college, the total cost for three years (tuition+living expenses) will not exceed RMB 200,000; South Korea's total annual expenditure does not exceed 654.38 million yuan; Russia has a high cost performance, generally 50,000-70,000 yuan per year; The total cost of studying for a master's degree in the Netherlands, including tuition and living expenses, is about * * *10-130,000 RMB per year; The cost of graduate study in Australia is now only about12-180,000; The cost of studying in New Zealand has also dropped to the level of eight years ago; Britain and the United States, which have always been regarded as the most expensive, have also reduced the cost of studying abroad because of exchange rate changes or falling prices.

Second, the required time

Domestic: The educational system is 2-3 years, with 3 years as the majority.

Abroad: The academic system of foreign graduate students is generally 1-2 years. For most students studying for master's degree, the course arrangement of 1-2 years is very compact and rich, and there is no waste of time. Being able to get employment 1-2 years in advance is undoubtedly one step ahead of peers.

Third, the difficulty of success.

Domestic: Generally, candidates begin to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination in their junior year, and some students begin to prepare as soon as they enter school. Although the number of graduate students enrolled in China increased from 65,000 in 1999 to 460,000 in 2065,438+00, the number of applicants also increased from 365,438+09,000 in 199 to 654,38+0.4 in 2065,438+00. Although the re-examination weight is gradually increasing, the written test score is still the first level that must be passed, and it is still the mode of "one test for life".

Abroad: generally apply for foreign graduate students. Anyone with a bachelor's degree can apply. The language requirements are very clear. English-speaking countries must have at least IELTS, TOEFL and GRE scores, and there are also test requirements for going to small language countries, or they must read the language for a certain period of time and have the language foundation of this country. If you don't have language grades, you need to study abroad for six months to one year, which is expensive. Overseas universities pay more attention to the average score of undergraduate courses. Generally, better foreign universities require that the average grade point average of students in domestic key universities is 3.0, that is, the average grade point average of each course is above 80, and the average grade point average of students in non-key universities is above 3.5, that is, the average grade point average is above 88.

Fourth, professional competitiveness.

Domestic: In recent years, it is also difficult for graduate students to find jobs. Employers have become more and more rational. Those who can use higher vocational students will never use undergraduates, and those who can use undergraduates will never use master students.

Abroad: The rising unemployment rate caused by the financial crisis is becoming a thing of the past. At the same time, in order to attract talents, many countries have relaxed their immigration policies. For example, Germany can apply for long-term residence after graduating for 3 years and apply for immigration after working for 5 years; Britain has also relaxed the work visa period for international students, from 1 year to 2 years, and they can apply for immigration after working for 5 years.
