The difference lies in the advantages of enrollment schools, diplomas, study priorities, further studies and employment. Higher vocational undergraduate education is a full-time undergraduate education, and the degree is a professional bachelor. Higher vocational undergraduate and ordinary undergraduate constitute the full-time undergraduate level of China's higher education system.
Full-time undergraduate (including public undergraduate and private undergraduate) undergraduate higher education mainly recruits high school graduates. After passing the college entrance examination, I will study full-time in an undergraduate school and obtain an undergraduate diploma.
1, enrollment schools are different: ordinary undergraduate enrollment institutions are mainly ordinary colleges and universities, and higher vocational undergraduate enrollment institutions are mainly higher vocational and technical colleges. Some regional vocational colleges and undergraduate colleges jointly run schools to recruit students, while others run schools independently.
2. The degree of graduation certificate is different: the certificate of ordinary undergraduate course is undergraduate diploma and bachelor's degree certificate; The certificate degree of higher vocational undergraduate is a professional bachelor.
3. Different learning emphases: ordinary undergraduates focus on learning professional theoretical knowledge, constructing theoretical knowledge system and studying majors, while higher vocational undergraduates focus on learning professional technology and skills.
Disadvantages of higher vocational undergraduate course:
At present, the number of higher vocational undergraduate universities is small, and the higher vocational undergraduate education has just been implemented, and the public does not know much about it, so the social recognition of such schools is not very high at present. Although it is an undergraduate school, it has the word "occupation" in its name, so it is easy to mix with higher vocational education.
Judging from the nature of running a school, among the 22 vocational undergraduate colleges that developed vocational education at the undergraduate level in the early stage, except Nanjing University of Technology, the rest are private colleges, and the tuition fees are very expensive, which makes many candidates from ordinary families flinch.
