College education is mainly divided into full-time colleges and part-time colleges. Full-time college students are usually admitted by national colleges and universities through the national unified examination.

Part-time colleges are mainly divided into adult higher education and other types, and there is no fixed length of study. Students can study in relevant educational institutions or study by themselves.

Universities are undergraduates, and English undergraduate colleges refer to the basic components of higher education, which are generally carried out by universities or colleges, and few higher vocational colleges carry out applied undergraduate education.

Undergraduate education is more important than general education of theoretical majors, and applied undergraduate education is more important than applied professional education and practical skills education. Students can generally get undergraduate diploma and bachelor's degree certificate after normal graduation.

In people's daily life, they are admitted to doctors, read doctors and so on. Refers to a doctoral student. Strictly speaking, students who have not obtained a doctorate can only be called doctoral students;

Only those who get a doctorate are real doctors. Therefore, according to international practice, in formal occasions, only those who have obtained a doctorate can be crowned with the title of "doctor"; This restriction can be waived in informal situations.

5, postdoctoral

A postdoctoral fellow refers to a person who engages in academic research in an institution of higher learning or research after obtaining a doctorate, usually in a postdoctoral mobile station or postdoctoral research center. It should be noted that postdoctoral fellows are not degrees, but work experience.

In China, getting a doctorate is a necessary condition for becoming a postdoctoral fellow, but there are also some researchers abroad who do not have a doctorate, but they are postdoctoral fellows, so postdoctoral fellows have scientific research experience.

The post-doctoral term is generally not long, which is considered as a transitional arrangement for scientific research. The national postdoctoral fund supports postdoctoral students for two years. Foreign universities generally have no unified arrangement for postdoctoral students, and the source of funds and the length of time are relatively flexible.
