For many people, the distinction between graduate and master's degree is not very clear, and even graduate students are equated with master's degrees, but in actual management, there is still a big difference between the two, and there is no equivalent relationship, specifically:
First, there is a difference in the definition between the two.
Graduate students refer to college students who continue to study and study more advanced courses in their majors after graduation, which is a kind of higher education and represents the education level of students. After graduation, the graduate degree is the highest degree in China's academic education, and the graduate degree includes master's degree and doctoral degree, both of which belong to graduate students, but the final academic degree is different. Master's degree is a kind of degree in the national degree system, between bachelor's and doctor's, graduates with a master's degree, marking their education and academic standards have reached a certain level, can engage in certain research work, and the master's students often refer to master's students, that is, graduate students who are studying for a master's degree.
2. From the perspective of actual learning experience, graduate students are a kind of on-campus status, while master's degree is a kind of final acquisition status.
In everyone's academic career, although the place of reading is different, there is a specific name, such as elementary school is called primary school students, middle schools are called middle school students, and universities are naturally called college students, then, when studying for master's and doctoral degrees, there is naturally a title, this title is graduate student, the master's stage is called a master's student, the doctoral stage is called a doctoral student, and the primary school graduation certificate is obtained after graduating from primary school, and the corresponding graduation certificate will be obtained after graduating from secondary school, which will change depending on the place of study, the latter is a kind of acquired status, which will persist after acquisition, and will not change otherwise.
3. There is also a causal relationship between graduate students and masters.
Generally speaking, after passing the graduate school entrance examination, new students naturally obtain graduate student status, but some are master's students, some are doctoral students, after two years of experimental study, if they can successfully complete their studies, they will get a master's degree certificate and become a talent in the field, and after two years, they still do not meet the graduation requirements, then, their identity is still a master's student, which can be simply understood as a master's degree who continues to study, if they still do not get a master's degree certificate at the end of graduation, only a graduate graduation certificate, then, such a graduate is called a graduate degree graduateIt is not a master's degree, because it does not meet the training standards and requirements, so for master's students, the most important thing is to get a degree certificate.
