How does a UK master compare to an American master s degree?

The UK has two or more seats in the top 10 of the World University Rankings. In proportion, the universities of the two countries are on par with each other, and both countries have the most top universities in the world, but it is more recommended to go to the UK. If you want to study in the UK, it is recommended to choose Kai Tak Education.

In the application requirements, the United States attaches great importance to students' TOEFL scores, and it is very rare to be admitted with a minimum score below the school. In addition, the vast majority of U.S. colleges and universities also accept IELTS scores for applications.

British universities admit students more to the student's undergraduate background (whether it is a domestic 211 undergraduate and GPA during the undergraduate period), excellent graduation institutions and high GPA are the first conditions for applying to British universities, compared to language scores and standardized test standards are looser. If you are not applying to a G5 or top business school, the UK basically does not require a GMAT GRE score.

If you want to know more about studying in the UK, we recommend consulting Kai Tak Education. As an intermediary between the school and the applicant, Kai Tak Education truly provides comprehensive and scientific study abroad consultation and personal career development diagnosis services for the applicant's conditions, and uses the professional psychology and vocational assessment system to issue evaluation reports.

Although Yingshuo is only one year, but also because it is only one year, it is super cost-effective:

1.It took more than 300,000 yuan to study for a year and return to China for employment, the salary is twice as high as that of the undergraduate job, and after working for 2 years, you can earn back the tuition and living expenses and quickly return to the capital.

2.The study period is short, it only takes one year, compared with the 2 years of domestic master's degree and 3 years of American imperialism, it saves 1-2 years of youth, and if you enter the workplace in advance, you can earn at least 100,000 more.

3.Compared with the United States, the tuition fee is about 700,000 RMB, plus the living expenses are about 1 million, and the family burden is relatively heavy.

Domestic universities with a QS ranking of 250-300 can certainly be compared with UK universities with a QS ranking of 200-250.

First of all, let's talk about the rankings alone, 200-300 is originally a dense range of scores, and the scoring gap between the front and back rankings is not so big, and there is nothing wrong with counting it as a grade, and it is of little significance to score 250 before or after.

Secondly, the rules of the QS rankings are relatively favourable to UK universities, while US universities are slightly inferior, let alone universities in continental Europe. Considering the impact of the rules, it should not be a big problem to think that Chinese universities with a QS ranking of 250-300 are on a par with UK universities with a QS ranking of 200-250.

Speaking of employment, if you are employed in the UK, you must have the advantage of studying at a university in the UK, which has nothing to do with the ranking. If you go back to China for employment, I personally think that it is better to use the domestic 985 universities with a QS ranking of 250-300, after all, the era of international students is over. Even if the talent introduction and settlement policies in many cities are still tilted towards international students, they are generally classified to the top 100 of the QS ranking, and there is nothing to do with universities with 200-250.

However, the Commonwealth generally has a short school duration. If the three-year capital is not obvious to the four-year capital, the one-year master's degree will save time and get employment as soon as possible, and the advantage will be great.

In addition, it is very likely that the future development of "students with rich families studying at UK universities with QS ranking 200-250" is likely to be better than that of "students studying at domestic 985 with QS ranking 250-300 but with average family economic conditions", and life is easier. But this is more of a topic that has nothing to do with the university-level Duan Qiaohong.

1 year master's degree, China is not recognized now, too water.

Do you believe this ranking?

It's not okay to lie flat.

If you are not a world-renowned university, don't think about any advantages, it is not as good as the 985 211 students in your country. The current Shuishuo company does not recognize it at all.

Each has its own advantages, each has its own merits, depending on your major and interests, it is recommended to consult some reliable study abroad agencies, and it would be good to make a comprehensive comparison!

Graduate students in the United States are generally 2 to 3 years, and graduate students in the United Kingdom are 1 year, in terms of cost, graduate students in the United Kingdom save money, but the recognition in China is much higher than that of graduate students in the United States, and the recognition of graduate students in the United Kingdom is low.

It depends on what major you are studying, and the length of time It takes one year in the United Kingdom and two years in the United States. No need to recommend another visitor.

It is still necessary to recommend another person according to the needs of the individual, oh, major, budget, etc.

Many students have doubts about the one-year postgraduate diploma in the UK, and will think that the one-year master's degree in the UK is a "reduced course", but to be honest, the final result does not depend on the length of study, but on the student's learning attitude and hard work, and the one-year postgraduate course in the UK is a kind of curriculum that tests the learning ability of international students.

The 1-year master's degree in the UK is roughly divided into 3 stages: the first and second 2 semesters and the writing **, and the same number of learning tasks are compressed to 1 year to complete, and its intensity can be imagined. The training goal of the British master's degree is to be practical professionals, focusing on analyzing and researching problems, training students' comprehensive ability, and putting forward considerable requirements for students' quality. In the classroom, the teacher only outlines the lead, and the heuristic and summary teaching is the mainstay, and the lecture speed is extremely fast, and a thick textbook can be finished in a few classes.

After class, the teacher gave out a long list of reference books. This teaching method requires students to have a high level of self-study and research ability, and students must study most of the original English textbooks on their own after class, complete them independently** or complete homework collectively. International students who can withstand this baptism will gain unique learning methods, unique insights and independent hands-on ability!

The number of one-year master's programs in the UK is about the same as that of the two-year courses in the United States, so the UK curriculum is relatively compact.

For the positioning of choosing a school or major, please refer to the reference system for studying abroad.

Enter GPA, major and other information, and the system will automatically match the cases of students who are similar to you from the database to see which colleges and majors they have successfully applied for, and you can also query according to the study abroad goals to see what backgrounds (how many points in language scores, what is the school background, what major, how much GPA, etc.) are in your target colleges and majors, and then compare your own situation and formulate general goals and directions.

The above link is broken and can be seen.

It should be that the good thing to go to Britain is greater, and Britain is relative.

BAI has distinct advantages over a master's degree in the United States. Zhi Benefit 1: DAO UK postgraduate teaching strength is strong.

Undergraduate education in the United States is world-renowned, while graduate education in the United Kingdom is even stronger. Its higher education pays more attention to the research of basic theories and the development of high and new technologies, and its research results have enjoyed a high reputation in the world"Invented in the United Kingdom, applied in the United States"said. Benefit 2::

1 year to study for a master's degree, save time and money. Unlike postgraduate courses that last up to 2 or 3 years in China, taught master's degrees at UK universities can be obtained in one year, and this time-saving and cost-effective taught master's degree program is currently the most popular course in the UK. Benefit three:

You can stay in the UK and work for two years. The United Kingdom** was launched"Post-Graduation Work Category visa"Graduates who have completed a degree in the UK can apply to stay in the UK for up to two years, whereas previously international students could only stay in the UK for one year after graduation. This new visa policy gives international students the opportunity to exercise in the UK's international and multicultural working environment, which greatly increases their competitiveness in the Chinese talent market after returning home.

The United States is good, generally the United States is two years, and the United Kingdom is more than one year.

There are benefits to both:

The British school system is short, and there are many famous schools in the United States.

The UK and the United States are first of all different in terms of academic system: the UK master's degree time is 9 months to the year, and the taught examination master's course includes (the master's diploma course only needs 9 months, and there is no need to submit graduation **; The duration of the master's degree program is 12 months, and graduation needs to be submitted upon graduation**). The Master's Program is a two-year program in which students choose a research topic and conduct research under the guidance of their supervisors.

The master's degree in the United States is basically 1-2 years, but most colleges and universities in the United States implement a credit system, and you can graduate as long as you complete 30 credits (most students can complete the credits in 1 year).

Second, British students must return to their home countries as soon as the visa time arrives, and there are basically no internship visa opportunities. International students in the U.S. have a 12-month OPT internship when they graduate. If you choose to major in Mathematics, Engineering, Technology & Science, you will receive an additional 17 months of OPT internship after graduation.

However, a U.S. visa requires an interview, while a U.K. visa only requires the submission of the corresponding documents.

Third, the cost of studying abroad: There are more than 4,000 private and public universities in the United States, and the tuition and living expenses of private universities are generally more expensive, with tuition fees of about 50,000-60,000 US dollars per year. Public schools are slightly cheaper, with annual fees ranging from 300,000 to 400,000 RMB.

The cost of a two-year master's program is about 60-800,000 RMB. Study in the UK: The annual tuition fee for a master's degree in the UK is generally about 16,000-25,000 pounds, the living expenses are about 10-150,000 yuan a year, and the total cost of a one-year master's degree is about 30-450,000 yuan.

Fourth: the difficulty of applying to schools: In addition to TOEFL and IELTS scores, only G5 universities need to provide GRE GMAT in the UK master's application materials; In addition to the TOEFL and IELTS scores, the GER GMAT is required for U.S. master's applications.

In fact, it will be more difficult to study in law, because the legal system of each country is different, and your choice is relatively narrow, and you can generally read commercial law and international law (in comparison, Germany and Japan are relatively better, because they belong to the same civil law system as China, and there will be more choices).

1. Comparison of school systems

United Kingdom: As we all know, the short length of study in the UK is a great advantage. The undergraduate course in the UK is 3 years (4 years in Scotland and requires 360 credits).

Taught Masters in the UK are divided into taught Masters and Research Masters, with taught Masters being 1 year and Research Masters being 2 years. Usually, those who go to the UK for postgraduate studies are one-year taught master's degrees. Two-semester courses in a year usually require 8-9 courses, complete large and small exams and graduation**, and graduate with 180 credits.

The study time is tight, and you basically need to spend all your energy on studying. Depending on the region, it is around 15-250,000.

United States: Studying in the United States is a four-year undergraduate program that requires 120-128 credits. Most of the master's programs are 2 years, and some are 1 year or one and a half years, and the master's degree requires 30 credits.

Depending on the region, around 200,000-300,000, private schools will be higher.

2. Comparison of development direction and internship opportunities

United Kingdom: After graduating with a one-year master's degree, you basically need to return to China for development, and there are few internship opportunities.

United States: There will be more internship or work opportunities in the United States. After graduating with a two-year master's degree, there will be a 12-month internship (OPT) opportunity, which allows you to stay in the United States for internship and experience.

The OPT period for STEM majors is longer, 3 years. If you can shake to H1B during the OPT period, you will have the opportunity to work in the United States.

3. Comparison of application difficulty

United Kingdom: The British style of study is rigorous. It is easier to apply for a master's degree in the UK, and it is relatively easier to apply for a GPA and language score that meets the requirements of the school. The general language in the UK is IELTS.

United States: There are more than 4,000 colleges and universities in the United States, suitable for students with different needs. In addition to the language TOEFL and GPA, U.S. graduate students are required to demonstrate academic ability in the GRE or Graduate Admission Test, which is applicable to all majors except law and business.

GMAT is an entrance examination for graduate students in business management, which is suitable for business, economics, management and other majors.

1.IELTS TOEFL does not require the school to apply for a master's degree.

Not to apply for a master's degree.

3.Bachelor's degree without a master's degree.

4.No GMAT GRE to apply for a master's degree.
