At present, West Lake University only recruits doctoral students. Strictly speaking, West Lake University is a real university and belongs to academic education. Even if undergraduates are enrolled in the future, they will have diplomas and degree certificates recognized by the Ministry of Education after graduation.
Lakeside University is more like a refresher course, without the right to confer degrees. Most teachers have rich practical experience, but their academic qualifications are generally low.
