A master's degree is a postgraduate degree between a bachelor's degree and a doctorate. A master's degree usually symbolizes the ability to think independently according to his concentration and research field. Master's courses are generally arranged after bachelor's degree. Generally speaking, full-time master's courses take two years, but depending on the country and departments, some masters can be obtained in one year, while others take three to four years. Some countries, such as Germany and Austria, adopt the same academic system for bachelor's degree and master's degree, and many countries that implement the Anglo-American academic system also provide the same academic system to shorten the time for students to graduate from high school to get a master's degree. Some master's courses, such as MBA, usually require several years of work experience in addition to the undergraduate degree. In most countries, a master's degree is the basic threshold for studying for a doctorate.

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. In foreign countries, it refers to people who have obtained doctoral degrees, while in China, doctoral students are also called so-and-so doctors.

Among the three levels of bachelor, master and doctor, doctor is the highest level.
