What does it mean for international students to adapt to Selected Graduates?

For international students, what does it mean to position Selected Graduates as follows:

Selected Graduates is divided into ordinary Selected Graduates, directional Selected Graduates and central Selected Graduates. Directional Selected Graduates refers to that some provinces recruit a group of full-time outstanding university graduates from key universities or specific majors of key universities, and focus on training them as reserve candidates for party and government cadres and staff of party and government organs at or above the county level.

This year, Shanghai and Beijing have successively issued announcements on directional transportation and "excellent training plan" to recruit outstanding international students this year. Through the Selected Graduates program, foreign students will get better development opportunities in the public examination. The advantages of overseas famous schools also make international students more competitive.

According to insiders, according to the current policies applicable to all provinces, targeted recruitment of international students is likely to be extended to other provinces in the country.

1, different provinces have different access standards.

After more and more provinces set up overseas universities to select Selected Graduates, some provinces have different selection criteria for universities. For example, in 2024, the second batch of Selected Graduates-oriented universities recruited by Shandong Province, 96 overseas universities were shortlisted, including Harvard University, Yale University and other famous universities in Europe and America, as well as universities in Asia and Latin America such as Malaya University and pohang university of science and technology. There is no small level difference between the same shortlisted institutions, which leads to controversy.

In 2024, Beijing will select the designated institutions for overseas institutions, and the scope will be the top academic ranking in the world university soft science rankings 100. The list comes from relevant institutions affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University, and the ranking focuses on the quantity and quality of science and engineering papers published by universities. The traditional British liberal arts school, the London School of Economics and Political Science, was not selected.

2. Attention should be paid to the differences in education system.

The length of master's degree and doctor's degree is different in different countries. The postgraduate education system of "double first-class" universities in China is generally three years, while in many Commonwealth countries, the postgraduate education system of shortlisted institutions is only one year. As far as the age of entering the system after graduation is concerned, returned students may have an advantage. Judging from the recruitment announcements in Shanxi, Sichuan and other provinces, overseas students have more relaxed requirements in addition to colleges and diplomas.

Compared with Selected Graduates in China, such as "party member in China" and "student cadres", Selected Graduates overseas also has certain advantages.
