On-the-job graduate students who can get a degree certificate have only the same academic ability. In order to get the certificate, thesis defense is an essential link, because only by submitting the thesis and successfully passing the defense can you get the final master's degree certificate. Therefore, if the thesis defense fails, there is no certificate to take.
A master's degree certificate is a certificate issued by China's institutions of higher learning or scientific research departments, which proves that the educational level and academic level of the grantee have reached the standards stipulated in the master's degree and the students' professional knowledge and technical level have been audited by relevant regulations.
According to the notice issued by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council and the Ministry of Education, it is decided that from 20 16 1 onwards, the degree certificates issued to doctoral, master's and bachelor's degree winners will be designed and printed by the degree-conferring units themselves, and the degree certificates printed by the office of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee will no longer be used.
