What's the difference between medical academic master and professional master? Please be more specific.

Professional type is mainly to cultivate working ability, while academic type is mainly to cultivate scientific research ability. The previous training types were all academic, but since 2009, the state has encouraged candidates to apply for professional master's degrees.

Some professional masters only have diplomas and no degree certificates, but some special majors have both certificates, such as medicine. Undergraduate diploma is more important than degree certificate, and master diploma is more important than diploma.

Considering the specific situation, if you want to enhance your working ability, I suggest you choose a professional master's degree; If you want to do research and innovation in your own field, you can choose an academic master.

1. Different cultural directions

Academic master's education focuses on cultivating teaching and scientific research talents, and the types of degrees awarded are mainly academic degrees;

Professional master's degree is a new master's degree added by the state to overcome the shortage of academic master's degree and cultivate applied talents in short supply in the market.

2. Different enrollment conditions

Academic masters do not require applicants to have a certain number of years of work experience.

In 2009 1 month, the new full-time professional masters in China do not require work experience, and the enrollment conditions are the same as those of the original academic masters. Freshmen can apply.

3. The entrance examination is different.

The entrance examination for academic postgraduates is only the "unified examination" at the beginning of the year, and the professional examinations other than the unified examination are put forward and marked by the enrollment unit itself.

There are two opportunities for the entrance examination of professional master: the "joint examination" in June 65438+ 10 and the "unified examination" at the beginning of the year. Candidates can choose by themselves, and the professional examinations of these two national examinations are also set and marked by the enrollment units themselves.

GCT on-the-job master's degree is the joint entrance exam in June+10, 5438, and full-time professional master's degree is the first exam every year 1 0, just like the original full-time academic master's exam.

4. The difficulty of admission is different.

The national unified entrance examination for academic postgraduate students is the representative of Yan Jin-kuanchu. It is understood that the enrollment ratio of popular majors in some prestigious schools even reaches 70: 1.

But some unpopular majors in second-rate schools are not satisfied every year. Therefore, the difficulty of admission depends on the schools and majors that candidates apply for.

The professional examinations of these two national examinations are put forward and marked by the admissions unit itself. The entrance difficulty of different majors is different, and the popular majors are relatively difficult.

In addition, the difficulty of "joint examination" and "unified examination" is different. Because there are many more candidates for the "unified examination", the competition for the examination is naturally fierce. However, although the entrance examination is easy, the applicant's work background and experience are more important in the admission.

5. Different learning styles

Master of Science: Full-time study. Usually three years.

Professional Master: Full-time full-time study with a duration of 2-3 years.

6. Different learning costs

The academic master's degree is admitted as a master's degree student in the national plan (non-directional and directional). Starting from the fall semester of 20 14, all graduate students began to pay their own expenses.

Professional master's degree is basically the same as full-time academic master's degree from 20 10, and graduate students enrolled in the national plan (non-directional and directional) enjoy tuition-free treatment according to national regulations.

As an unplanned enrollment (commissioned training, self-funded), graduate students must pay tuition, which is generally 8000 yuan/year, which varies according to their majors. For self-funded students, poor students and other candidates, we can apply for national student loans or commercial loans to ease the pressure on tuition fees.

7. Diplomas may be awarded differently.

Academic masters award both degrees and academic certificates.

The professional master's degree certificate was issued separately in June 65438+ 10, and the degree and academic certificate were issued in June 65438+ 10.

8. Different social acceptance

Academic Master: Because they graduated from full-time regular universities with double certificates of academic degrees, such graduates have high social recognition.

However, enterprises will also consider the weakness of full-time graduate students when recruiting: only theory, lack of experience. Especially for job seekers whose master's degree and undergraduate degree are completely different, and job seekers who have never had relevant work experience, enterprises will have scruples.

It is suggested that such graduates should strengthen their competitiveness through internships, part-time jobs or taking vocational certificates.

Professional Master: The newly added graduate students of the Ministry of Education in 2009 have reached a considerable scale, and their recognition has been tested by the society, and they have a "double certificate" issued by the state, which has a good prospect.

Extended data:

Professional degree is a kind of degree relative to academic degree. The existence of two master's degrees in China has the characteristics of China, but there is no distinction between academic masters and professional masters abroad.

Usually, academic master's degree system is unique to China, and there is no academic master's degree abroad. The so-called professional master is a unified degree of universities all over the world;

In other words, there is only one master abroad. Both academic research and practical masters are awarded abroad. There is no distinction between academic degrees and professional degrees abroad. Internationally recognized master's degrees include MA, MFA and MBA.

Its purpose is to cultivate applied senior professionals with a solid theoretical foundation and meeting the actual needs of specific industries or occupations. Professional degree and academic degree are at the same level, with different training specifications and obvious differences in training objectives.

The degree is established according to disciplines, oriented by academic research, emphasizing theory and research, and cultivating university teachers and researchers in scientific research institutions; Professional degree is oriented to professional practice, attaches importance to practice and application, and trains senior talents with formal and high-level training in specialty and specialized technology.

The outstanding feature of professional degree education is the close combination of academic and professional. People with professional degrees are mainly engaged in jobs with obvious professional backgrounds, such as engineers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, accountants, etc., rather than academic research.

Professional degree and academic degree have their own clear orientation in training objectives, so they are different in teaching methods, teaching contents, standards and requirements for awarding degrees.
