How to get a doctorate
How to get a doctorate has the following answers:

Applicants must obtain a master's degree and have worked for more than five years after obtaining the master's degree. Applicants should make outstanding achievements in the fields of teaching, scientific research and professional technology, and independently publish high-level academic papers or high-level monographs in the fields where they apply for degrees.

Persons with the same academic qualifications who have the basic conditions to apply for a doctoral degree shall submit the master's degree certificate, final academic certificate, award-winning certificate and other materials to the degree-conferring unit within the time limit prescribed by the degree-conferring unit.

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.

We must have a clear understanding of the degree system, especially the doctoral degree. Take Europe and America as an example. Doctor is the highest degree.

However, the highest degree in higher education is not just a doctorate (Ph.D). Higher degrees in the United States and Europe can be divided into two categories: one is research degree and the other is professional degree. In order to avoid mistakes in Chinese-English translation, this paper will directly explain these degrees with English names.

The English word for "doctor" in research degree is "doctor", which comes from Latin: "doctor", which means teacher. The word originated in medieval Europe.

At that time, a "teacher" was a person's certificate to teach in a university. And we usually say "doctor" degree in English: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D). Known as "D. Phil" in the British system, doctor is the basic degree requirement for academic positions in modern European and American universities.

First of all, a doctorate is an academic research degree. Strict training and examination are needed in academic research. A doctor must know what academic research, academic norms, academic ethics and academic services are.

Under the American system, doctoral students must not only pass the most basic doctoral qualification examination, complete the fixed class hours, and achieve an average score of above B, but also conduct in-depth academic research and publish certain papers in academic journals around the world.

Finally, you can get a doctorate by successfully defending your academic thesis at the doctoral Committee. In science and engineering, it usually takes three to six years for doctoral students to complete their studies.
