Universities and junior colleges belong to the category of undergraduate education, and both are nationally recognized undergraduate degrees. The bachelor's degree certificate and academic certificate issued by the two have the same legal effect, which proves the academic achievements of the holders.
According to the Higher Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), colleges and universities must have certain teaching and scientific research capabilities and be able to provide undergraduate and above education services. Therefore, whether an undergraduate school is called a college or an undergraduate school is called a university, there is no substantial difference in their diplomas.

College diploma: the difference between awarding units
College is a small educational unit, which is usually called higher vocational college or junior college in China's education system, and provides education courses related to specific occupations. The graduation certificate of the college is issued by the college, which indicates the student's name, student number, major, educational system and graduation time. College diploma is mainly used to prove that students have completed the corresponding professional training and study and have the corresponding professional ability in the job market.
University diploma: a symbol of comprehensive learning
University is a relatively comprehensive higher education institution, which provides study and research in various professional fields. University diplomas are also issued by universities, which also contain students' personal information, majors, academic system, graduation time and so on. Compared with university diploma, university diploma pays more attention to students' comprehensive academic achievements in various disciplines, aiming at proving that students have extensive knowledge and in-depth research ability.
Degree certificate: different levels of recognition
In addition to graduation certificate, degree certificate is also one of the important documents in the field of education. Degree certificate refers to the academic title awarded by the university after completing certain credit requirements and thesis defense, which means that students have obtained the recognition of corresponding degrees in a certain subject field.
There are differences in the names of degree certificates in colleges and universities. Colleges generally award "junior college" or "higher vocational" degrees, while universities can award "undergraduate", "master" or "doctor" degrees. A degree certificate is of great significance to broaden employment prospects, pursue further studies and engage in academic research.
