According to different degrees, it can be divided into academic graduate students and professional graduate students. Academic graduate students generally refer to graduate students with academic degrees and established according to disciplines. They are oriented to academic research, emphasize theory and research, and mainly train university teachers and researchers in scientific research institutions.
Professional graduate students, at the same level as degree graduate students, are applied senior professionals with a solid theoretical foundation and meet the actual needs of specific industries or occupations.
Part-time graduate students are different from on-the-job graduate students;
On-the-job graduate students only have a degree certificate, not a diploma. After 20 17, part-time graduate students were born. Like full-time graduate students, they have both graduation certificates and degree certificates. Full-time graduate students and part-time graduate students belong to the unified recruitment plan. In-service graduate students cancel their original certificates and set up part-time dual-certificate graduate students.
Part-time graduate students are included in the national unified examination and cross with full-time graduate students. With the same graduation requirements, their academic degree certificates have the same legal status and the same effect. Academic qualifications, like ordinary higher education, part-time only refers to learning methods, not academic qualifications.
