A master's degree means taking a master's course first and doing a master's thesis. If the master's thesis has a high starting point and good quality, it can reach the level of doctoral thesis. After completing and passing the review and defense, the doctor's degree will be awarded.
If the thesis does not reach the doctoral level, you can apply for a master's degree. Direct doctoral study means that before graduation, you don't need to get a bachelor's degree or a master's degree, and you don't have to take the doctoral entrance examination. After the selection, you can directly obtain the qualification to pursue a doctoral degree.
Advantages of direct blogging:
1. Save study time. Generally, it will save at least 1 year compared with the average master's degree and then take the doctor's degree. Doctors are the most valuable capital in the workplace.
2. Improve learning efficiency. By omitting the preparation period of the exam, you don't have to spend time on a lot of unnecessary review work, so you can concentrate on your major.
Disadvantages of direct blogging:
1. doctoral graduation risk. Students with weak research ability may face the risk of failing their doctoral thesis for a long time, but the thesis can not reach the doctoral level and can apply for a master's degree.
2. doctoral employment risk. Ordinary undergraduate and master graduates are generally qualified for ordinary positions in enterprises, but doctoral employment is generally suitable for middle and high-level positions in enterprises and institutions, or staying in universities or scientific research institutions to engage in research work, so the employment area is narrower than that of undergraduate and master students.
