Is junior college equal to university?
College is not equal to university.

There are two main forms of university education: higher vocational education and junior college education, that is, students studying in colleges and universities obtain university degrees after graduation.

The main goal of the university is to cultivate technical talents, that is, the goal of the university is practical. It is to train a group of talents with university knowledge and certain professional skills on the basis of completing secondary education. The teaching of knowledge is based on sufficiency and practicality. According to Chinese mainland's education system, education is divided into preschool education, primary education, secondary education and higher education. College education is a professional education that is shorter than undergraduate education on the basis of complete secondary education. Like undergraduate education and postgraduate education, it is an important part of China's higher education system.

And university means a bachelor's degree.

Degrees (Academic Degrees): academic titles or honorary titles awarded to individuals, indicating their education level or the level they have achieved in a certain subject field, or commending their outstanding contributions in a certain field. Awarded by qualified institutions of higher learning, scientific research institutions or other academic institutions and examination and approval institutions authorized by the state. Degree titles are enjoyed for life. Originated in medieval Europe. What degree a professional technician has indicates his academic level or professional knowledge learning qualifications, which symbolizes a certain identity.

Degrees in modern countries are generally divided into three grades: bachelor, master and doctor. "Postdoctoral" refers to the doctoral degree winner who is allowed to enter the post-doctoral research mobile station to engage in scientific research. This is not a degree. It is a misunderstanding of China's degree system to regard postdoctoral doctors as higher degrees than doctors.

The bachelor's degree is awarded by institutions of higher learning authorized by the State Council, and the master's degree and doctor's degree are awarded by institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions authorized by the State Council. Undergraduate graduates of institutions of higher learning who have achieved excellent results and reached the prescribed academic level are awarded bachelor's degrees; Postgraduates from institutions of higher learning and scientific research, or persons with the same academic ability in postgraduate education, pass the course examination and thesis defense of master's (doctoral) degree and reach the required academic level, and are awarded the master's (doctoral) degree. Institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions that confer academic degrees shall, after academic degree evaluation committee has made a resolution on conferring academic degrees, issue corresponding degree certificates to degree winners.

In fact, people are confused because they don't understand two fundamentally different concepts, namely, the concept of educational background type and educational background level. Higher vocational education is the name of education type, and junior college is the name of academic level. Higher education can be divided into three levels: postgraduate, undergraduate and junior college. As a type of education in higher education, higher vocational education is divided into three levels: postgraduate, undergraduate and junior college. In fact, a complete higher vocational education system should be composed of graduate students (including doctoral students and master students), undergraduate students and junior college students. This is the case in Taiwan Province Province, China, where higher vocational education is relatively perfect, including not only higher vocational colleges, but also higher vocational undergraduate and graduate students.
