Undergraduate course is the basic part of higher education, which is generally carried out by universities or colleges. Few higher vocational colleges have developed applied undergraduate education. Undergraduate education focuses on specialized general education in theory, while applied undergraduate education focuses on applied professional education and practical skills education. Students can generally get undergraduate diploma and bachelor's degree certificate after normal graduation.

In China, undergraduate education is mainly divided into full-time undergraduate education and part-time undergraduate education. Full-time undergraduate (also known as ordinary undergraduate) is usually enrolled by ordinary colleges and universities all over the country through national unified examination, independent enrollment or exemption from examination, with a schooling period of 4-6 years; In addition, recent college graduates can receive undergraduate education through the unified entrance examination for 2 years.

Part-time undergraduate courses are mainly divided into self-taught undergraduate courses, adult college entrance examination, distance education, open education and other types, with no fixed number of years of study and various learning methods. By June 30, 2020, there were 3,005 colleges and universities in China, including 2,740 colleges and universities, including 1.272 undergraduate colleges, 1.468 vocational colleges and 265 adult colleges.

Undergraduate course is divided into subordinate, provincial and municipal according to the school-running level, and undergraduate course is divided into public and private according to the school-running system and nature. The undergraduate tuition fees determined by the school-running system are different, and of course the social recognition and employment prospects are also different. However, now is the age of ability. Where is the gold as long as it can? But as far as academic qualifications are concerned, undergraduate courses are superior to junior colleges, which is beyond doubt.
