There are two popular words recently, one is the reverse postgraduate entrance examination and the other is the reverse study abroad. What does it mean?
reverse postgraduate entrance examination refers to a double first-class undergraduate student, but the master's degree is degraded to double non- background;
reverse study refers to international students who want to go out to experience the international learning atmosphere. Eighty or ninety percent of the students in a class are international students from mainland China.
complaints, but it’s actually quite sad to think about it.
Why are mainland Chinese students so keen on postgraduate entrance examinations and studying abroad now?
To be honest, we have been reading books for more than ten years. Except for the true fans of scientific research and academic studies, no one likes to find abuse.
After all, even during the period of academic depreciation, everyone knows the importance of that academic qualification.
The situation of the mainland postgraduate entrance examinations becoming more and more papers, needless to say, people who have experienced it can still feel it.
Many people have been GAP for one year, two years, three years... They are still fighting hard on the road to the postgraduate entrance examination.
Some people find that they are not suitable for the exam in time, so they choose to apply for study abroad. I think both
are OK. I really recommend that you not be too restricted in the eyes of so-called experienced people, and do not use other people's evaluations to define the meaning of your choice and dedication for them.
I sincerely admire the courage and perseverance of those who can persist in taking the postgraduate entrance examination for several years;
Those who choose to study abroad are not allowed to get an offer from prestigious schools by applying casually.
The comparison between the top three Hong Kong universities and the top mainland universities is sometimes not simply a comparison between schools, and the relationship between China is complex and subtle.
Ten years ago, when Hong Kong's economic status was still far superior to that of the mainland, exchanges between mainland universities and international universities were not as frequent as it is now, and the signs of the top three in Hong Kong were definitely well-known;
Ten years later, the ceiling of mainland cities can be as good as Hong Kong, and even surpass Hong Kong in many aspects. The development of urban economy and the improvement of the technology industry can naturally attract international talents.
So at present, the top three Hong Kong universities and the top universities in the mainland (Tsinghua University Re-Jie Zhejiang University ) should be comparable to those in the mainland, but the trend is that the top three Hong Kong has been in place for nearly ten years. The ranking of Hong Kong University has been overtaken by Tsinghua University . Hong Kong Chinese, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Fudan , and Jiaotong University are comparable.
In comparison, I think there are mainly macro and micro gaps between the two. It can also be said to be the advantages and disadvantages of ceiling-level universities in mainland China and Hong Kong, China:
01. Advantages and disadvantages of first-class universities in mainland China
· Advantages and advantages
1) The subject system is more sound
The mainland's first-class universities, although the overall situation is not as dazzling as the international community. But the speed of progress in recent years is also visible to the naked eye, and the international appearance rate is getting higher and higher. Compared with the top three in Hong Kong, the discipline system of first-class universities in the mainland is more sound, which is also to meet the needs of the three major industries for different types of talents.
2) Overall resources are stronger
The construction of first-class universities in the mainland is almost the whole country's efforts, and the overall resources enjoyed are stronger than the top three in Hong Kong. Sometimes we find that many majors in the top three Hong Kong middle schools are humanities, social sciences, finance and commerce, and light science and engineering, so the top mainland universities will generally have a wider development field than Hong Kong schools at the same level. In the final analysis, there are demands and supply resources for developing the real economy.
3) Education costs are more affordable
The cost of studying in a top university in the mainland is lower. In addition to the low tuition fees, there are many scholarships and grants that can be obtained, and the average cost of living is far lower than studying in Hong Kong. This is also why many students meet the requirements for studying abroad, but due to their family economic level, they can only choose to obtain relatively affordable postgraduate higher education in the mainland.
4) The quality of students is more solid
Mainland top universities use an exam to put all students in the same pool to compete, and then use some additional tests to screen students' comprehensive abilities. In ultra-low , students who can be admitted to enroll under , will basically not be much different from the ceiling and lower limit of their abilities. Therefore, the top-notch screening mechanism of mainland top universities ensures that the quality of students is more solid.
·Disadvantages
1) The degree of openness is lower
First-class mainland universities have more and more opportunities to appear internationally in recent years. This is a trend, but it will not change the reality of cooperation and exchanges between the top three Hong Kong and top overseas universities.
Whether it is the "bringing in" or "going out" of higher education, the openness of first-class universities in the mainland is still relatively low. In the complex and changeable international environment, there is still a long way to go to integrate into internationalization.
2) The lack of international teachers
It is not difficult to understand. When the degree of openness is low, the proportion of international teachers cannot be high.
Although first-class mainland universities have achieved top-notch levels in their fields of expertise, this is just a breakthrough and an unusual state. To develop, more continuous experience is needed, that is, the top international scientific researchers in the field.
The top three in Hong Kong have spared no effort in introducing top international teachers, spending a lot of money crazy, and hiring directors of major awards with high salaries.
3) The teaching system is rigid
There is no need to say much about this. Even first-class universities in the mainland are sometimes too rigid in the management of students and faculty. The rigidity of the teaching system ultimately leads to people who are busy with various paper standards, who are truly committed to scientific research and academic research and enjoy their knowledge, and are more likely to integrate.
Of course, there are also student union management in the top three in Hong Kong, and there are many messy things, but in comparison, there are more free space for " to reduce talents without any restrictions" .
02. The top three advantages and disadvantages of Hong Kong
· Advantages
1) The degree of openness is higher
1) Hong Kong is still the world's three major financial centers, and the entire city will be more open to the outside world than any city in the mainland. For most students, the international environment they have been exposed to in one or two years of studying in Hong Kong is actually enough.
Like some of the top inland universities I communicated with, they finally decided to apply to Hong Kong, which was actually based on the consideration of changing the environment and seeing the world. It’s not that there is really a big gap between the top three Hong Kong universities and the top inland universities, but the atmosphere of famous universities on both sides is still very different, and it’s worth experiencing it.
2) International faculty superior
The top three international faculty in Hong Kong have mentioned earlier than the top inland universities, but what we want to talk about here are some resources attached to international faculty. If you have plans to continue your studies later, then the teachers from these top international universities will be your intermediaries. If you have the opportunity to get in touch with them at close range, you can even ask the teacher to write you a letter of recommendation from famous overseas universities.
3) The teaching system is free
1 Hong Kong school has relaxed management of students, and teachers' teaching will not be excessively interfered with. The overall atmosphere is relatively free. However, in this kind of free atmosphere, everyone needs to have extremely high self-management ability.
·Disadvantage
1) Education cost is too high
Take the tuition fee as a single, enough for me to study for several master's degrees in mainland China, and then rent a house, the cost of up to 250,000 yuan a year (it is still rising now). After all, it is not something that ordinary students from a family background can afford at one time.
2) The quality of students is uneven
The competition for popular majors is indeed very fierce, and the difficulty is not necessarily lower than that of us going to first-class inland universities. However, because there are many standards for screening students, and degrees generally tend to be applied practice rather than scientific research and academic, so the levels of the students admitted in the end are uneven, and there are also very low lower limits, which affects the reputation of graduates in terms of admission difficulty.
3) Overall resource scarcity
Due to the lightweighting of Hong Kong's local core industries and the lack of manufacturing-related resources, the opening of the top three majors in Hong Kong is actually not that comprehensive. Many students go to Hong Kong to study mainly to target business and popular science and engineering, and then they don’t consider their employment prospects and only want to obtain international student status and master’s degree.
Hong Kong's overall resources are scarce. It is not that easy for inland students to stay in the local area. Most of them still have to return to inland to find employment.
or above is what I think is the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the top three universities in the mainland and the top three in Hong Kong.
Go back to the two hot topics of reverse postgraduate entrance examination and reverse study abroad at the beginning. The students' choices actually illustrate the problem.
At this stage, the postgraduate entrance examination and studying abroad are not contradictory. For most people, it is not that we already have the two options for postgraduate entrance examination and studying abroad, but that both paths before us are difficult to walk.
If we cannot get rid of the limitations of personal choices in the general environment, we can only be in the general environment. Even if we know that it is a reverse postgraduate entrance examination, we still have to take the exam, and we still have to apply for it when we know that it is a reverse study abroad.
Isn’t it just that diploma?
So go wherever you can. There are family resources at home and scenery outside.
As for the returnees who are still local bumpkins and are not rich in water, this discriminatory chain allows people who are watching the fun to chew on it slowly~
