Postgraduate education is a kind of national education, which is generally carried out by ordinary universities with master's and doctoral degrees. After graduation, a graduate student can also be called a graduate student, which means a person with a graduate education. In China, graduate students are divided into master students and doctoral students. According to different degrees, it can be divided into academic graduate students and professional graduate students. Academic graduate students generally refer to graduate students with academic degrees and established according to disciplines. They are oriented to academic research, emphasize theory and research, and mainly train university teachers and researchers in scientific research institutions. Professional graduate students, at the same level as degree graduate students, are applied senior professionals with a solid theoretical foundation and meet the actual needs of specific industries or occupations. The unified recruitment of graduate students in general higher education includes full-time graduate students and part-time graduate students. Pass the national unified entrance examination for master's and doctoral students, or recommend exemption from examination and apply for examination to enroll students. Before 20 17, on-the-job graduate students refer to on-the-job graduate students, who are mainly enrolled through the 10 joint entrance examination and equivalent academic qualifications. Traditional on-the-job graduate students do not have a postgraduate degree, but only a degree certificate. From 20 17, the traditional on-the-job postgraduate students will be abolished and part-time postgraduate students will be established on the basis of full-time postgraduate education. At the end of 12, part-time graduate students and full-time graduate students took the national unified postgraduate entrance examination (national unified examination), delineated the same admission scores, implemented the same training graduation standards, and also obtained the general higher education diploma and degree certificate when they graduated. They just have different learning forms, and their academic qualifications are all general higher education.
