Direct doctoral students (full-name undergraduate direct doctoral students) refer to those who skip the master's degree after graduation and study for doctoral degrees directly as doctoral students (graduation certificates and degree certificates are required at the same time, and graduation files are all handed over).
There is generally no master's degree in these two categories.
Generally speaking, those who study PhD in the first year can graduate in the same year as those who study PhD directly, and graduate one year later in the second year. Take the doctor's time as an example. Direct doctoral students are the shortest.
Extended data:
At present, the training plan of the Ministry of Education for direct doctoral students is the same as that of ordinary doctoral students, and the treatment of doctors is even higher than that of masters and doctors. In the first year, all direct doctoral students won the first-class scholarship, and master students and doctoral students won the second-class scholarship in advance. In addition, in terms of graduation years, you can apply for early graduation as long as you meet the doctoral graduation requirements of your school. Therefore, there is no difference in graduation years between direct doctoral students and ordinary doctoral students, and they also have great advantages in age.
Generally speaking, the strength of direct doctoral schools is very strong, and they are basically concentrated in 985 engineering colleges and a few dominant disciplines in 2 1 1 engineering colleges. Of course, the selection of students is very demanding. Applicants for direct doctoral students are generally excellent students, and the competition is fierce.
