Full-time undergraduate (also known as ordinary undergraduate) is usually enrolled by ordinary colleges and universities all over the country through national unified examination, independent enrollment or exemption from examination, with a schooling period of 4-6 years. In addition, recent college graduates can receive undergraduate education through the unified entrance examination for 2 years. Part-time undergraduate courses are mainly divided into self-taught undergraduate courses, adult college entrance examination, distance education, amateur education, open education and other types. There is no fixed period of study, and there are various learning methods. Students can study in relevant educational institutions or study by themselves.
