Generally speaking, the number of doctoral and master's degrees reflects the strength of teachers and scientific research, and is usually the index and basis for candidates to judge the strength of schools, disciplines and majors.
Universities with master's degrees have the conditions to train master's students independently, and are generally superior to universities without master's degrees in terms of teachers and the training level of corresponding disciplines. With a master's degree, this major can independently train graduate students.
Because some schools don't have master's degrees, they rely on other majors to train master's students. But in this case, graduate students need to learn appropriate elective courses related to their majors. Accordingly, teachers with doctorates are generally better than teachers without doctorates in the corresponding subjects.
Meaning:
Doctoral programs can also be called doctoral degree authorization (second-level) disciplines and professional programs. Official website, the Ministry of Education, pointed out: "From 65438 to 0995, a new method for examination and approval of degree authorization was gradually implemented: new doctoral and master's degree-granting units and doctoral programs were examined and approved by the the State Council Academic Degrees Committee."
The units granting doctoral degrees and their disciplines and majors are mainly limited to the national key institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions in charge of relevant departments in the State Council, which meet the following conditions and can really train doctoral students as key disciplines.
