PhD and Ph.D. are both titles for Ph.D., but there are some differences between them. First of all, PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) usually refers to a research doctorate, which requires students to conduct original research in a certain subject area and achieve sufficient academic results. Originating in Europe and introduced to the United States in the 19th century, PhD is now recognized as one of the highest academic degrees worldwide.
In China, the word Ph.D. is commonly used to refer to all types of Ph.D., including research PhDs and professional PhDs. Professional doctoral degrees are mainly aimed at the cultivation of professional talents in specific fields, mainly cultivating students' professional skills and practical ability, such as Doctor of Medicine (M.D.).d.), J.Dd.), Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), etc. The criteria and requirements for the awarding of such a degree may vary from field to field and country to country, and students are usually not required to complete independent research work or to conduct a ** defense, as long as they pass the examination and credit requirements.
Overall, the main difference between a PhD and a PhD is the difference in geography and academic system. In Europe and the United States, a PhD is an independently awarded degree, which usually requires students to complete a doctorate degree through classroom Xi and research work, and conduct a defense. In China, a Ph.D. does not necessarily require students to complete independent research work, nor does it require a defense, as long as they pass the examination and credit requirements. In addition, a PhD degree focuses more on cultivating students' independent thinking and research skills, and is usually a degree prepared for entering the academic community to engage in teaching and scientific research, while a PhD degree focuses more on the mastery and application of professional knowledge by students, which is suitable for research and career development in various professional fields.
