The difference between degrees and academic qualifications
The main difference between the two is that academic qualifications prove learning experience, while degrees reflect the level and level of learning.
Those with learning experience may not be able to reach a certain level and level, and those who reach a certain level and level may not have learning experience. Generally speaking, the value of a degree exceeds that of a diploma.
For example, some people are admitted to the undergraduate course, but when they graduate, they can only get the undergraduate diploma, that is, the undergraduate degree, but they can't get the corresponding bachelor's degree.
Some people graduate from junior college and have the opportunity to get a master's degree through further study in their later jobs. At this time, their academic qualifications are still junior college and cannot be called "masters".
