Can tourism management majors take the postgraduate entrance examination?

In my opinion, there are five postgraduate paths for our undergraduate students majoring in tourism management to choose from:

The first, of course, is to directly apply for the Master of Science in Tourism Management.

Applying for this type of postgraduate degree is equivalent to moving up the previous ladder for undergraduates majoring in tourism management. The knowledge content they studied and researched during the postgraduate period is consistent with their existing knowledge system. By following the relationship, you can further develop your professional advantages. It should be said that the difficulty index during graduate school is relatively low.

There are three directions for postgraduate students in tourism management:

Tourism resource development and planning

Tourism enterprise management

Tourism industry development research

Friends can choose based on their own interests and professional comparative advantages. However, since the mathematics course is required to be tested in the preliminary examination for postgraduate students in this major, this is actually a powerful obstacle for liberal arts students who are at a disadvantage in science. So, for those who are afraid of mathematics but do not want to lose it, Candidates with their own original professional knowledge system can choose the third path below.

Second, apply for a Master of Business Administration.

This is a feasible path for students who are inclined to work in other corporate units in their career planning. Moreover, the original management knowledge system of undergraduates majoring in tourism management also lays the groundwork for postgraduate studies.

Third, apply for a master’s degree in history, tourism and culture.

Specialized in the direction of history, tourism and culture, this major is characterized by the full integration of history, culture and tourism.

Fourth, apply for graduate students in tourism education majoring in curriculum and teaching theory.

This direction belongs to the curriculum and teaching theory major. The subjects studied during the postgraduate period are equivalent to the combination of tourism management and pedagogy. For students who are inclined to engage in tourism teaching and research in their career planning, it is recommended to choose this major, because this major is based on the further deepening of the tourism professional knowledge system and provides professional knowledge in education. , the organic combination of the two makes teaching and teaching research work more convenient.

For candidates who are inclined to engage in tourism business management in their career planning, this major is also an option, because the tourism research subjects during the postgraduate period of this major are basically the same as the postgraduate subjects of tourism management. , In terms of course arrangement, I also studied and researched with postgraduate students in tourism management. There is no big difference in the deepening and extension of tourism academics. Since the postgraduate examination for this major does not require the unified examination of mathematics, in addition to politics and foreign languages, only the basic and comprehensive subject of the education major is required. The basic and comprehensive knowledge of the education major only requires memorization and does not require There are technical difficulties. This is good news for liberal arts students who are at a disadvantage in science, and for students who are afraid of mathematics but do not want to lose their original professional knowledge system and have to give up studying for graduate students in similar majors.

Fifth, apply for master’s degrees in other majors.

Students majoring in tourism management can of course apply for graduate students in other schools or other majors, such as master's students in history and geography, after analyzing their own interests and strengths and weaknesses.

The above are just some suggestions for students majoring in tourism management to choose a postgraduate path.

I hope it can be helpful to students majoring in tourism management who are interested in postgraduate studies in choosing their major. I sincerely wish my friends a successful postgraduate journey!
