I am also preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. In my opinion, the choice lies in your idea. If you want to continue to learn navigation technology, there is no need to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Because in my understanding, navigation technology is a subject that attaches importance to practice. This subject requires us to have more practical skills and work skills, basic training in ship handling, ship collision avoidance and duty, identification and application of various charts, navigation instruments and GMDSS communication, and necessary ability training for some senior crew members such as advanced fire fighting and mastering first aid. This important knowledge needs to be accumulated slowly in the work.

Therefore, those students who intend to engage in employment at sea, I think that if they study for graduate school, they will delay the accumulation of their ship age, which is not conducive to their own development.

But for those students who want to do in-depth theoretical research, I highly recommend postgraduate entrance examination, because graduate students are an opportunity to study a certain aspect in depth. At this stage, you have plenty of opportunities to meet experts in these fields, learn more and more professional knowledge, and constantly improve your knowledge level!

The above is my opinion. Thank you!
