1, Master of Science. Academic masters mainly train teaching and scientific research talents, and are awarded degrees after graduation, such as philosophy, economy, law, education and literature. Generally speaking, they are all disciplines that emphasize theoretical knowledge.
Moreover, compared with the master's degree, the master's degree is more difficult and expensive, and writing a thesis is even more "difficult."
Most importantly, if you want to take an examination of civil servants and career establishment in the future, then I suggest that you give priority to master's degree, because in the eyes of most civil servants, master's degree basically does not meet the requirements of civil servants' recruitment because it emphasizes professionalism and practicality.
However, studying for a master's degree also has advantages, that is, you can apply for a "five-year direct PhD" and get a doctorate directly after studying for five years. The master's degree has no such "convenient" conditions and opportunities. Except for a few two-year majors, most master's degrees can only be completed in three years step by step, and it will take six years at the earliest to get a doctorate. Moreover, most of the "postgraduate" students in colleges and universities are generally masters.
To sum up, the academic master's course pays attention to foundation, theory and universality, and has broad development prospects, which is more suitable for most graduate students.
2. Professional Master. Professional master's related disciplines generally contain clear professional needs, only to cultivate high-level talents in specific occupations. The most famous is MBA, and there are also masters in finance, taxation, clinical medicine, education and forestry. As can be seen from the professional names, students who apply for these majors are likely to engage in professional-related work after graduation. So it is obviously easier to find a job after a master's degree than a master's degree.
Specifically, in terms of examination subjects, the master only takes "English II", which is simpler than the master's examination of "English I". Moreover, the admission difficulty of master's degree is generally low, and the number of people admitted is also large.
As for the employment prospect after graduation, the master pays attention to practice and the master pays attention to research. However, whether you are a master or a master, as long as you study hard and learn real knowledge and skills, you don't have to worry about work at all.
3. Employment analysis. Although, from the employment situation, master and master have their own advantages, few students will ask you whether you are a master or a master, or there are particularly obvious restrictions on screening academic qualifications, except for civil servants and career establishment.
However, the trend of postgraduate enrollment is that there are more and more "test-free students" and "direct doctoral students", and the overall master's degree shows the trend of "enrollment expansion".
In particular, there is an "absolute advantage" in the major, that is, the "off-campus internship" with strong practicality. Maybe it's because seeing is believing. Many enterprises will naturally leave many outstanding graduates through the channels and channels of postgraduate "off-campus internship". It can be said that both sides agree and are happy.
Generally speaking, if your postgraduate entrance examination is for scientific research and doctoral examination, it is best to apply for an academic master's degree; If you take the postgraduate entrance examination to engage in a certain occupation and have a clear job-hunting goal, then choosing a professional master's degree is definitely more suitable for you.
In other words, a master's degree is easier to find a job, while a master's degree in research is more promising.
