First degree: the university you obtained after the unified entrance examination, and the degree you obtained after graduating from this university is your first degree.

Highest education: your final education may be master's degree, doctor's degree, etc.

Therefore, in reality, the first degree is not what the answer says. If you meet the requirements of some employers for your first degree, it means that even if you are a graduate student of Tsinghua Peking University or other prestigious schools (of course, the graduate student is officially admitted, and it is a full-time education degree in the national education series), if your first degree (undergraduate course is not a prestigious undergraduate course) does not meet the requirements, it is difficult to be admitted by the employer.

Give a few more examples, such as:

Xiaohong University graduated from University A with a bachelor's degree, then joined the work, and then got a master's degree from University B on the job. So Xiaohong's first degree is a bachelor's degree from University A, and her highest degree is a master's degree from University B.

Xiao Wang received a bachelor's degree from University A, a master's degree from University B, and finally a doctorate from University C..

Then Xiao Wang's first degree: undergraduate course. Highest education: Ph.D. from C University.

At present, the recruiting units and teachers in some domestic universities value the "first degree", which means not to look at where your master's degree and doctor's degree were graduated. First of all, you should graduate in 985 or 2 1 1, that is to say, you should pay attention to the first degree. So in this case, it is easier for a prestigious school with the first degree to find a job.
