Doctor is the title of a degree, which means that a person has the ability to produce original theoretical achievements or academic qualifications, and it is the highest degree (note: postdoctoral is not a degree).
Having a doctorate or equivalent academic ability means that a person has the ability to enter the academic stage from the learning stage. The ability to produce original theoretical results or academic ability is the core connotation of doctoral degree, and it is also the most essential feature of people with doctoral degree.
Doctor is a title for graduate students studying for a doctorate, and it can also be used to address people who have obtained a doctorate. Enrollment is mainly conducted through the "doctoral entrance examination" held by ordinary colleges and universities with doctoral programs and relevant scientific research institutions with doctoral training qualifications.
In foreign countries, it refers to people who have obtained doctoral degrees, and doctoral students are also called so-and-so doctors Among the three levels of bachelor, master and doctor, doctor is the highest level.
The degree system in China is generally called master's degree and doctor's degree. The postgraduate degree of European and American universities should be clearly defined and strictly divided, including the scope of basic courses, the requirements of professional courses, research content, postgraduate education, academic evaluation and so on. Generally speaking, as long as the name of a doctor is determined, an accurate definition can be found according to the provisions of higher education.
Therefore, the Ministry of Education should have a very detailed and clear scientific definition of each doctoral degree in China University, otherwise there will be similar queries from Professor Chen Danqing about the requirements of doctoral examination. As a university professor, we must first have a clear understanding of the degree system in our field.
