Generally speaking, the number of doctoral and master's degrees reflects the strength of teachers and scientific research, and is usually the index and basis for candidates to judge the strength of schools, disciplines and majors.
Universities with master's degrees have the conditions to train master's students independently, and are generally superior to universities without master's degrees in terms of teachers and the training level of corresponding disciplines. With a master's degree, this major can independently train graduate students.
Because some schools don't have master's degrees, they rely on other majors to train master's students. But in this case, graduate students need to learn appropriate elective courses related to their majors. Accordingly, teachers with doctorates are generally better than teachers without doctorates in the corresponding subjects.
Extended data:
Doctoral students: Postgraduates studying for doctoral degrees, referred to as doctoral students, are the highest level of postgraduate education. People say in their daily life that they have obtained a doctorate or have obtained a doctorate. A student who has not obtained a doctorate can only be technically called a doctoral candidate.
Only those who get a doctorate are real doctors. Therefore, in formal occasions, according to international practice, only those who have obtained a doctorate can be called doctors. This restriction can be lifted informally.
China's higher education is divided into three levels: junior college, undergraduate and postgraduate, and postgraduate education is the highest level of education. Postgraduate education is divided into postgraduate education and doctoral education according to degrees, and doctoral education is the highest level of higher education. When doctoral students graduate, they will receive full-time doctoral graduation certificates and doctoral degree certificates.
However, if you are a doctor on the job and have the same academic qualifications, you can only get a degree certificate if you can't get a diploma. The academic qualifications are still original, such as undergraduate or master's degree.
At present, China's doctoral education is controlled by the scale, forming a ratio of 10: 1. In addition, in order to facilitate understanding, we can refer to the policy classification of complete academic education in China: middle school students include junior high school students, college students include junior college students, undergraduates and graduate students, and graduate students include masters and doctors.
Doctoral students are also called doctoral students, and doctors in daily life refer to doctoral students. Doctoral students are the highest academic qualifications and degrees in China at present, and postdoctoral students are not students, but workers' names. Although the doctor's name has two words, it has nothing to do with students, but the essence is the identity of employees.
