Postgraduate is a kind of qualification certification of national education, which is generally carried out by ordinary universities with master's and doctoral degrees. You can also be called a graduate student after graduation, which means someone with a graduate degree.

In China, graduate students are divided into master students and doctoral students. According to different degrees, it can be divided into academic graduate students and professional graduate students. Academic graduate students generally refer to graduate students with academic degrees and established according to disciplines. They are oriented to academic research, emphasize theory and research, and mainly train university teachers and researchers in scientific research institutions.

Professional graduate students, at the same level as degree graduate students, are applied senior professionals with a solid theoretical foundation and meet the actual needs of specific industries or occupations.

In China, there are full-time graduate students, part-time graduate students and on-the-job graduate students with the same educational level. The unified recruitment of graduate students includes full-time graduate students and part-time graduate students, and enrollment is conducted through the unified entrance examination for master's and doctoral students nationwide or the recommended exemption examination system.

The Ministry of Education pointed out that all local colleges and universities should cooperate with relevant departments to actively create an equal employment environment and strive to eliminate employment discrimination. In all kinds of campus recruitment activities, it is not allowed to set up relevant discriminatory provisions that violate state regulations, and it is not allowed to take the graduation colleges and learning methods (full-time, part-time, equivalent education) as restrictive conditions.

1, institutions of higher learning, such as Tsinghua, Peking University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University, etc.

2. Scientific research institutes, such as Metal Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China Academy of Engineering Physics, etc.

3. Iron and Steel Research Institute, Youyan Technology Group Co., Ltd., Institute of Telecommunications Science and Technology and other research institutes were transformed.
