Do undergraduates need work experience in postgraduate entrance examination tourism management? More than three years?

From June 5438 to February 2009, the State Council's Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Tourism (Guo Fa [2009] No.41) proposed that "the tourism industry should be cultivated into a strategic pillar industry of the national economy and a modern service industry that the people are more satisfied with". The release of document 4 1 was unanimously regarded as an important milestone. The position and role of tourism in the national economy have undergone fundamental changes, providing a good opportunity for the great development of tourism. Tourism has risen from the traditional service industry to the national strategic pillar industry, which puts higher demands on tourism practitioners. In the development of tourism, tourism talents are always the first resource for tourism development. By 20 15, the number of tourists in China tourism market will reach 3.5 billion, and the demand for tourism talents is increasingly prominent, especially the high-end tourism talents who can meet the standards of modern service industry are extremely scarce. The cultivation and development of high-end tourism talents has become the focus of social attention. In the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-term Talent Development Plan, the guiding principles for the development of high-end talents are also clearly put forward. In this context, the State Education Commission has newly established a master's degree in tourism-Master of Tourism Management (MTA). MTA mainly recruits people who have certain practical experience and are willing to engage in the tourism industry in the future. Its goal is to cultivate advanced applied tourism management talents with social responsibility and tourism professionalism, master the basic theories, knowledge and skills of tourism management, have international vision and strategic thinking ability, and dare to challenge the transnational development of modern tourism. The establishment of MTA has opened up a brand-new road for the training of high-end tourism talents in China, which has developed the training of high-end tourism talents from the internal training of enterprises in the past to a new stage of formal professional training in colleges and universities. 20 10 September, the first batch of universities in China were awarded the Master of Tourism Management (MTA), including 56 universities in Beiwai. MTA recruits experienced employees, requiring university graduates to have five or more years of work experience, undergraduate graduates to have three or more years of work experience, and master's and doctoral graduates to have two or more years of work experience. Undergraduate students are not allowed to apply. MTA applicants must pass the MBA entrance examination held by the state every June 5438+ 10. The examination contents of MTA and MBA candidates are the same, both of them take the MBA entrance examination, and MTA is chosen when applying. MTA students can choose full-time study or on-the-job study. The full-time study time is 2 years, and the on-the-job study time is generally one year longer than the full-time study time. After graduation, MTA students can obtain official national master's degree certificates and master's diplomas through thesis defense. At present, the implementation of MTA project in China has been strongly supported by the National Tourism Administration. 2065438+001kloc-0/0 In late October, the National Tourism Administration will set up an industry steering committee for the master's degree in tourism management, with Deputy Director Wang Zhifa as the director of the steering committee. It can be seen that the leaders of the National Tourism Administration attach great importance to the development of MTA, hoping to develop a new mode of training high-end tourism talents in China with the help of MTA platform. 20 10 On September 25th, the Seminar on Training High-end Tourism Talents in China and Implementing MTA Plan, jointly organized by beijing international studies university, China Tourism Talent Development Research Institute and Beijing Tourism Development Research Base, was held in Beijing International Hotel. More than 65,438+000 people attended the meeting, including government officials from the Ministry of Education, the National Tourism Administration, local tourism bureaus, heads of tourism-related industry associations and entrepreneurs from well-known domestic tourism enterprises. Everyone had a wisdom collision on MTA's talent training model. Beijing Foreign Studies University became the first university in China to officially launch the MTA project.

Scheme of setting up master's degree in tourism management

1. In order to meet the urgent demand for tourism management professionals in China's tourism development, improve the tourism management personnel training system, innovate the tourism management personnel training mode, and improve the quality of tourism management personnel training, a master's degree in tourism management is specially set up. Second, the English name of the professional degree of Master of Tourism Management is "Master of Tourism Administration", and the English abbreviation is MTA. 3. The training goal of the master's degree in tourism management is to cultivate high-level, applied and compound tourism management professionals who have good political and ideological quality and professional ethics, master basic tourism theoretical knowledge and management methods and skills, are familiar with the reality of tourism business, have excellent communication skills and comprehensive ability to solve practical problems, and can be competent for the practical work of modern tourism. Fourthly, the curriculum of master of tourism management should fully reflect the knowledge and quality requirements of professionals in the field of tourism management practice, highlight the characteristics of strong correlation, wide radiation and complex composition of tourism, and pay attention to the cultivation of tourism management ability and professional ability. Teaching methods attach importance to team learning, case analysis, field research, professional internship and practice. Five, the training process of master of tourism management must highlight the practical orientation of tourism management, strengthen practical teaching, practical teaching time is not less than half a year. Six, the master of tourism management full-time teachers must have strong professional practice ability and teaching level. Attach importance to attracting professionals in the field of tourism management practice to undertake professional course teaching and build a "double-qualified" teacher structure. Seven, the paper should be closely combined with the practice of tourism management, reflecting the students' ability to analyze and solve practical problems in tourism management by using the theories, knowledge and methods of tourism management and related disciplines. The types of papers can be thematic studies, investigation and analysis reports, case studies, policy studies or project design studies. The forms of thesis defense can be varied, and the defense members must have experts with professional and technical positions in the field of tourism management practice. Eight, completed the required credits, completed the professional practice of tourism management and passed the thesis defense, and awarded the master's degree in tourism management. Nine, actively promote the effective connection between the professional degree of master of tourism management and the professional qualification examination of tourism management. Ten, the master's degree in tourism management is awarded by the state-approved postgraduate training unit of tourism management. Eleven, master of tourism management professional degree certificate printed by the the State Council Academic Degrees Committee Office.

North China: The tourism planning center of Peking University is absolutely first-class in China, but many students in the tourism management class are not familiar with the master of tourism recruited by the center. The main reason is that the graduate students trained by the center are selected from geographical enrollment. If you want to challenge Peking University, you can try this direction, but it is more difficult to make a question. The second interview also needs to take an examination of urban planning site design, which requires certain drawing and drawing skills. Beijing Foreign Studies University is a well-known tourism school, known as "China Tourism College". I will focus on the situation of this school in the form of a special topic below, and interested students can have a look. Tourism in Nankai University is a bit "old-fashioned in Lian Po" now, but because of Li Tianyuan, Nankai is still a hot spot to apply for. After all, Li Tianyuan's Tourism is a must-read for everyone who is engaged in tourism!

East China: There are many famous tourist schools in this area, and Shanghai Normal University is the most distinctive one among them. Before 2003, the strength of tourism discipline in normal university was average, but since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 2003, the first characteristic tourism college, Shanghai Tourism College, merged, the tourism discipline has flourished. However, it should be noted that in addition to applying for a master's degree in tourism management in 2006, the school also has the direction of tourism planning under human geography and physical geography. This brings us a "vacuum"-human geography, which is ignored by many students majoring in tourism. Seeing these, many candidates will ask, can you travel after learning geography? Actually, you don't have to worry about this at all. Because tourism is a new discipline that has only developed for more than 20 years in China, most of the teachers in those years were transferred from geography, economy, history and other disciplines, among which geography was the most. For example, Chen Chuankang of Peking University of the older generation, the pavilion of Beijing Normal University, Bao Jigang of Zhongshan, who is known as "protecting the south, protecting the north and protecting Wu" of the new generation, and those of Peking University are all of geographical origin. Students who want to engage in tourism mathematics but are not good at it can consider taking the human geography exam, because some schools in human geography don't take the math exam, and even if they take a high number, there is no requirement for line generation and probability, but not all colleges and universities have this direction. I won't talk about the schools I know in this direction by region, such as Sun Yat-sen University (which will be introduced later), South China Normal University and Huazhong Normal University (Gong Shengsheng is also a famous teacher). I also want to mention Anhui Normal University in particular. Lu Lin footballer, a teacher from this school, is the deputy director of the Tourism Geography Professional Committee of colleges and universities. She is very famous in the tourism industry, but human geography needs to be adjusted every year, which is aimed at some students with poor grades. In addition, Fudan University, East China Normal University, Southeast University and Zhejiang University in East China have carried out extensive interdisciplinary research with their own comprehensive strength, and the tourism discipline has a strong development momentum. In East China, there are two very special universities, Yangzhou University and Huaqiao University. The similarity between the two universities is that they need to recruit transfer students almost every year, but at the same time, both universities are very strong in tourism disciplines-Yangzhou University is not only located in the south of the Yangtze River, which is rich in tourism resources, but also unique in tourism cooking, while Huaqiao University not only uses the advantages of its many overseas Chinese to carry out international tourism research, but also has its own doctoral program in tourism in 2006. (At present, there are only 16 doctoral programs in China)

Central China: In Central China, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law has made the tourism economy in full swing by virtue of its advantages in finance and economics. Students interested in this direction can report that the scores in recent years are not high, but there is a hot trend. Wuhan University, a century-old famous school, has a strong strength in tourism. The set of tourism textbooks published by Wuhan University Press led by Professor Wu Da is very influential in universities all over the country. In addition, the achievements of Henan University and Hunan Normal University in the direction of tourism culture are absolutely first-class, especially in Hunan Normal University, where mathematics is not tested, so many students with poor mathematics can be said to have a special liking for this school. In addition, I have to mention a less famous university-Hubei University. Regardless of its overall strength, Ma Yong, dean of its Tourism College, has done a good job in tourism planning. The Principles of Tourism Planning published by Higher Education Press was written by it. This textbook is one of the required reading materials for entry-level tourism planning in universities. In 2006, the construction of tourism disciplines in Henan and Hubei attracted great attention from the whole country. In 2006, the number of master of tourism management programs in these two provinces increased significantly. Among them, there are three new institutions in Henan Province, namely Zhengzhou University, Henan University of Technology and Henan University of Science and Technology, and two new institutions in Hubei Province, namely Huazhong Normal University and South-Central University for Nationalities. These colleges and universities have been enrolling students since 2007. Generally speaking, the first-year exam of the new master's program is relatively easy. So I'll change the topic and summarize the institutions that added master's degree in 2006 by region: Capital Normal University, bohai university, Heilongjiang University, Shanghai Normal University, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Donghua Institute of Technology, Jiangxi Normal University, Jiangxi Normal University of Science and Technology, Guangzhou University, Guangdong Business School, Guangxi Normal University, Hainan University, Chengdu University of Technology, Guizhou University, Guizhou University of Finance and Economics, Southwest Forestry University, Yunnan University for Nationalities, Xinjiang.

South China: Sun Yat-sen University won the first place in the evaluation of tourism management discipline for several consecutive years. Being able to enter Sun Yat-sen University is a beautiful and romantic dream for all students studying tourism management. However, it should be noted that Sun Yat-sen University's tourism is an inter-college enrollment, a master's degree in tourism management in the School of Management and the School of Tourism, and also a tourism planning direction under the human geography of the School of Geographical Sciences and Planning. Among them, the institutions where Mr. Bao Jigang instructs master students are geography and tourism, so it is not surprising that there was a gap in tourism management in Zhongshan School of Management last year. After all, many people go to Zhongshan to help their teachers. In addition, Jinan University, Guangxi University and Guangxi Normal University in South China have also made good achievements in tourism.

Southwest and Northwest: The development of tourism in the west has been relatively backward, but the strength of tourism education is not generally strong. Yunnan University, Chongqing University and Shaanxi Normal University have long had doctoral programs, and in 2006, Northwest University also applied for doctoral programs. There is also a criterion to judge the tourism strength of colleges and universities, that is, whether there are doctoral programs. At present, there are 16 enrollment institutions in China with doctoral programs. They are: Yunnan University, Shaanxi Normal University, Fudan University, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Chongqing University, Sun Yat-sen University, Nankai University, Huaqiao University, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Northwest University, Xiamen University, Zhejiang University, China Renmin University, Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Jinan University. Northeast China: Xie of Dongbei University of Finance and Economics has made great achievements in tourism theory. His "Basic Tourism" is simple and easy to understand, which is unique among many travel books and can be called a classic. Besides, he has a good personal relationship with Bao Jigang. Graduate students from Cai Dong often have the opportunity to visit and study in Zhongshan. Coupled with Dalian's unique tourism resources, studying in Cai Dong should be a good choice. In addition, the tourism of Harbin University of Commerce and Liaoning Normal University in the northeast is also very distinctive. Among them, the tourism curriculum theory of Liaoning Normal University is very distinctive, and there is no need to take math test, but the score is relatively high, generally above 370. You can try it if you are interested.
