Features: To regulate the process of master's degree application by individuals with equivalent academic qualifications and ensure the quality of degree conferment, the 16th meeting of the State Council Academic Degrees Commission decided to introduce a national unified examination on comprehensive academic level for applicants with equivalent academic qualifications. Starting from September 1, 1999, individuals applying for master's degrees with equivalent academic qualifications must obtain the "Certificate of Qualification for the National Unified Examination on Comprehensive Academic Level" in their respective disciplines, which serves as a prerequisite for obtaining the master's degree. The purpose of the comprehensive academic level examination is to strengthen the macro-control and standardized management of the state in conferring master's degrees on individuals with equivalent academic qualifications, and it is an important part of the national examination organized to assess the knowledge structure and level of applicants with equivalent academic qualifications for master's degrees. In 1998, experts were organized to compile and publish the "Outline and Guide for the National Unified Examination on Comprehensive Academic Level for Master's Degree Application in Law by Individuals with Equivalent Academic Qualifications." In 2000, based on the experience of the pilot program, it was revised times and published in December of the same year. Over the past three years, following the suggestions of numerous candidates and relevant experts, and based on the experience of recent years' unified examinations, we have organized experts from relevant fields to revise this book for the second time. The revised outline (third edition) will serve as the basis for unified question-setting for the comprehensive academic level examination for master's degree application by individuals with equivalent academic qualifications starting from 2004 and for the coming years, and will be used as a reference for teaching and tutoring by universities and colleges. It can also be used as a reference material for candidates to review and prepare for the examination.
