Certificates obtained after graduation from City University of Macau can be certified by the International Student Service Center of the Ministry of Education of China and recognized by the Ministry of Education of China.

Generally speaking, students have obtained a master's degree when they apply for a doctorate. Because the main job of a doctor is academic research, it is also important to apply for a doctor: to trap professors.

Professors will attach great importance to the academic and scientific research ability of applicants. At the undergraduate stage, undergraduates only need to have an overall understanding of their own majors, which are extensive but simple. Although there are also undergraduates who can directly succeed in doctoral programs, from the actual admission situation, most of them are masters.

Therefore, foreign universities not only do not deny the master's degree in China/Hong Kong and Macao, but if applicants have a master's degree, they will be more easily favored by professors and have more advantages in application.
