What's the difference between a master's degree and a graduate student?
A degree is an academic title that marks that the educational level and academic level of the grantee have reached the prescribed standards. China's degree is divided into bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctor's degree. A "postdoctoral" is not a degree, but a doctoral degree winner who is allowed to enter Post-Doctoral Research Center for scientific research.

The bachelor's degree is awarded by institutions of higher learning authorized by the State Council, and the master's degree and doctor's degree are awarded by institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions authorized by the State Council. Institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions that confer academic degrees shall, after academic degree evaluation committee has made a resolution on conferring academic degrees, issue corresponding degree certificates to degree winners.

A degree is different from academic qualification. Those who have obtained a degree certificate but have not obtained a diploma are still the original academic qualifications. Those who have obtained a master's degree or doctoral degree certificate may not be able to obtain a master's degree or doctoral degree certificate; Those who have obtained a bachelor's degree certificate may not be able to obtain a bachelor's degree certificate. It is common to confuse academic qualifications with academic qualifications now. For example, some people graduated from undergraduate courses and later obtained doctoral degrees by applying for on-the-job jobs. At this time, the academic qualifications are still undergraduate, which can't be called "doctor's degree".

Applying for a degree on the job is not academic education. After obtaining the degree, the applicant only shows that he has reached the academic level of the master's degree and has the same academic ability (the "power" of learning ability) as the master's degree, and does not involve academic qualifications. Therefore, the applicant's academic qualifications have not changed, and he can't get a master's degree.

On-the-job graduate students are a type of postgraduate education in the national plan. They work on the job and study part-time in school as on-the-job personnel. On-the-job graduate students are the same as full-time graduate students in registration, examination requirements and admission methods. Is a formal graduate student admitted by the school and can get a graduate degree.
