Studying in the UK can complete the "postgraduate" course in less than one year and obtain a master's degree. Therefore, although studying in the UK is quite expensive and the courses are very intensive, getting a degree quickly can save time in studying. However, many students who worked hard to obtain a master's degree in the UK found that their degree did not help them get better job opportunities after returning to China. What is the reason for this?

You may not be able to learn real things in one year program

After some international students returned to China, some employers asked how much can be learned by studying for a master's degree in one year? Wang Yongda, Education Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in the UK, told reporters that he has recently received several calls in this regard, raising questions about the British master's degree. Counselor Wang Yongda said that the reason for this kind of statement in China is actually the lack of understanding of the situation in the UK. In terms of time, the British master's degree course lasts for one year. It seems that it has fewer hours than in China, but the courses in that year are full. Some professional eveningThere is still class at 9 o'clock. There are probably not many Chinese students studying for master's degrees in the UK who go to bed before two or three o'clock at night and study all weekends.

From the perspective of learning content, the course design is very practical, including elective courses, all of which are professional courses, with a minimum number of courses per semester3 courses, up to 5-6 courses. Each course requires reading a number of designated reference books, writing short papers and completing group cooperation projects, and passing the exam at the end.

In terms of academic management, British universities have very strict requirements. If you fail to pass the exam, you will be eliminated. One course hasIt is common for 30% of students to fail the exam, and the elimination rate in some schools is as high as 20%-30%.

Counselor Wang Yongda said that the UK has the best educational resources in the world. Generally speaking, the top rankingThe universities ranked in the top 50 are all very good, and many of them have world-leading famous majors.

The one-year master’s degree class is mixed, good and bad

Although studying in the UK for one year has yielded a lot, Chinese students still have many problems, which will also affect their future employment to a certain extent. Now some of the one-year taught master's degrees in the UK are taught for overseas students, and some majors have one class.There are 20-30 people, and there are not many British classmates. It looks like a British-taught class of Asian and African students. There are also very few opportunities for discussion and speech. There are often scenes where several classes are taught together in an auditorium style, with one teacher giving lectures to more than 100 students.
