Higher education is divided into
China's higher education is divided into three academic levels: junior college, undergraduate and graduate, with graduate education being the highest. Among the three levels of bachelor, master and doctor, doctor is the highest level. Extended information 1, graduate students: according to the degree, it can be divided into master students and doctoral students.

(1), master, that is, graduate students studying for a master's degree, referred to as master students. What people say in daily life is that they have been admitted to a master's degree and read a master's degree. Compared with undergraduates, postgraduate education pays more attention to cultivating students' ability to study and analyze problems, especially their scientific research and teaching ability.

A master's degree is a postgraduate degree between a bachelor's degree and a doctor's degree. A master's degree usually symbolizes basic independent thinking ability.

(2) Doctoral students are the highest educational level in higher education. When a doctoral student graduates, he can obtain a full-time doctoral diploma and the corresponding doctoral degree certificate. Those who study for a doctoral degree on the job with the same academic qualifications can only obtain a degree certificate, and their academic qualifications are still the same, such as undergraduate or master's degree.

2. Master (Postgraduate): It is a postgraduate degree between bachelor's degree and doctor's degree.

3. Doctor (Postgraduate): Doctor is a title for graduate students who are studying for a doctorate, and can also be used to address people who have obtained a doctorate. In foreign countries, it refers to people who have obtained doctoral degrees, while in China, doctoral students are also called so-and-so doctors.

4. Postdoctoral (non-degree): refers to the academic qualification to engage in scientific research in institutions of higher learning or research institutions for a certain period after obtaining a doctorate. It also refers to a postdoctoral mobile station or postdoctoral research center for special researchers.

Postdoctoral is not a degree, but a period of work experience or education. Moreover, some foreign researchers do not have doctoral degrees, but they do work in postdoctoral mobile stations, so postdoctoral work is more specifically a temporary scientific research experience.
