A degree is an academic title that marks that the educational level and academic level of the grantee have reached the prescribed standards. Degrees include bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctoral degree. A doctor is the highest level of a degree.
A degree is different from academic qualification. Those who have obtained a degree certificate but have not obtained a diploma are still the original academic qualifications. Those who have obtained undergraduate, master and doctoral diplomas may not be able to obtain corresponding degree certificates; Those who obtain a bachelor's degree certificate must first obtain a bachelor's degree certificate, while those who obtain a master's degree or a doctorate certificate may not be able to obtain a master's degree or a doctorate certificate. There is often a phenomenon of confusing academic qualifications with academic qualifications. For example, some people graduated from undergraduate courses and later obtained doctoral degrees through on-the-job degree applications. At this time, the academic qualifications are still undergraduate, and it cannot be said that a "doctoral degree" has been obtained.
