After entering the university, some students were not admitted to the major they wanted to study. I'm thinking about taking a double degree. You can learn what you like and increase employment opportunities.

However, many students do not really understand the definition of "double degree" and often confuse the concepts of "double degree" and "second bachelor degree".

What's the difference between those two degrees and the second bachelor's degree!

Double degree, broadly speaking, refers to the second bachelor's degree, which is a "double degree" project in cooperation with overseas universities and is a minor second degree. In the usual context of our country, it only refers to the secondary degree. The "double degree" in this article refers to the "minor degree". The second bachelor's degree refers to the completion of an undergraduate course in one discipline, which has been granted to graduate and obtain a bachelor's degree, and then studies for an undergraduate major in another discipline, which has reached all the requirements stipulated in the teaching plan and is awarded the second bachelor's degree.

If the country has special needs, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, after completing a bachelor's degree in one undergraduate major in the same discipline, and completing all the requirements stipulated in the teaching plan, a second bachelor's degree can also be awarded.

A double degree usually refers to a double bachelor's degree, which means that on the basis of obtaining the first bachelor's degree, you study another subject full-time, and after meeting the requirements set by a university, you are awarded a second bachelor's degree.

Different from the second bachelor's degree, the minor of the second degree is to study the minor of this major and another professional degree course at the same time, and obtain the minor bachelor's degree of another subject at the same time after meeting the specified requirements. Those who fail to apply for a bachelor's degree can obtain a minor certificate according to the corresponding conditions.

There are several differences between a second degree and a double degree:

1, different culture modes

The second bachelor's degree focuses on cultivating high-level emerging professionals urgently needed by the country and cultivating a group of high-level professionals with wide knowledge and interdisciplinary fields urgently needed by the country. The second bachelor's degree is a kind of training method for colleges and universities that have been approved to set up the second bachelor's degree major. According to the enrollment plan, after the unified examination organized by the school, I was admitted to the school to study. The academic system is two years (three years for some majors such as Chinese medicine).

The training mode of dual-degree education is that undergraduates major in one undergraduate major and minor in another undergraduate major, complete all courses, graduation thesis and other teaching links stipulated in the undergraduate professional teaching plan, complete at least a certain number of credits, and pass the examination. While obtaining the bachelor's degree in the first major, the school approved and issued the bachelor's degree certificate in the second major.

2. Different application conditions.

The second bachelor's degree mainly recruits employees who graduated from universities and obtained bachelor's degrees (including those who graduated from universities before the implementation of the degree system), and also recruits a small number of fresh graduates who graduated from universities and obtained bachelor's degrees (including students who completed their studies ahead of schedule according to the credit system and obtained bachelor's degrees).

The scope of double-degree enrollment is generally for sophomores in our school. The registration conditions are good grades and no failed subjects, which are required by other schools. After entering the school, they will start studying from their sophomore year.

3. The examination scope is different.

The examination for the second bachelor's degree shall be conducted separately by the enrollment universities, and there is no national unified examination. The examination time is about March and April every year. The specific time and examination subjects need to be contacted with the school where you apply. Different schools and majors apply for the exam, and the time and subjects of the exam are different. The examination content should be the main basic course for the second bachelor's degree major.

Double degrees are mainly registered and tested in universities with the qualification to set up minor degrees. The examination subjects are divided into politics, English and professional courses, and politics mainly examines Marxist theory; English is as difficult as postgraduate entrance examination, and the number of questions is slightly less than postgraduate entrance examination. The examination of specialized courses, from the examination questions, is not very difficult and the scope is not very wide. Candidates are mainly required to master basic concepts, basic theories and basic historical facts.

4. Graduation treatment is different.

Second bachelor's degree graduation treatment: reading a second bachelor's degree is no less than postgraduate entrance examination. Those who have obtained the second bachelor's degree at the end of their studies are treated as graduate students. Double-degree graduation treatment: according to the first major employment, graduation treatment is generally regarded as undergraduate diploma. However, the degree of minor can be used as a reference, and some provinces agree.

In addition, the diploma, enrollment scope and tuition fees are different.
