Postgraduate is a kind of qualification certification of higher education, which is generally carried out by ordinary colleges and universities with master's and doctoral degrees and scientific research institutions with postgraduate training qualifications. Graduate students are the highest education. You can also be called a graduate student after graduation, which means someone with a graduate degree.
Full-time and part-time graduate students implement the same examination enrollment policies and training standards, and their academic degree certificates have the same legal status and the same effect.
The study of graduate students is based on the credit system. Courses, like undergraduate courses, include compulsory courses and elective courses. Generally speaking, the study period of academic graduate students is 3 years, and that of professional graduate students is 2 years.
However, there are also special circumstances. As we all know, graduate students can be divided into academic graduate students and professional graduate students, so there is a difference between the two types of study years.
