How difficult is it to take the postgraduate entrance examination in China and go abroad?

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.

Many customers studying in Australia apply for business graduate students, and master's degrees in business such as finance are generally one-year.

expense

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 average annual tuition fee for graduate students in China 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.

Overseas: Australian education experts studying in Canada said that the cost of studying abroad for graduate students varies greatly according to different countries. 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.

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. It is worth mentioning that part-time job is almost the experience of every international student. Even if family economic conditions permit, international students will find suitable job opportunities in the work-study positions provided by the school or in the society to reduce economic pressure.

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. 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.

If you choose to return to China for employment, foreign diplomas with high gold content will have more benefits. Regardless of the diploma, you can at least do translation, cultural exchange or foreign trade matchmaking at home through the local language barrier, which is undoubtedly advantageous.

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 ranges from 1999.

The number of applicants increased from 65,000 to 460,000 in 2065,438+00, but the number of applicants also increased from 3,654,380+099 to 654,380+04,000 in 2065,438+00, with an admission rate of about 30%. 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 the average GPA of students in key domestic universities to be

3.0, that is, the average score of each subject is above 80, and the GPA of non-key university students is above 3.5, that is, the average score is above 88.
