Part-time postgraduate education provides professionals with opportunities to further their studies, and part-time graduate students and equivalent academic qualifications are two common ways to apply for the examination. The former can obtain a dual diploma and a degree after graduation, while the latter can usually only obtain a master's degree certificate, i.e., a document. There are significant differences between the two approaches in a number of ways, which we will compare below.
Difference between obtaining a certificate and a double degree: The form of a double degree for part-time graduate students is the same as that for full-time students, including the examination admission policy, admission criteria, and training and graduation requirements. Students will receive academic certificates and degree certificates upon completion of all stages of training and meeting the graduation requirements. Documents: Students with the same academic ability can only obtain a master's degree certificate after completing all the training stages and meeting the graduation requirements, and there is no academic certificate. Differences in admission mode: part-time graduate students need to take the national unified examination in December and the re-examination of the proposition of the institution, and the merit-based admission system is adopted. Documents: The same academic ability to apply for a master's degree adopts the entrance examination mode, which mainly reviews the applicant's application materials, and can be admitted after passing the review of the institution.
Difference in course fees: The course fees are relatively high, but some institutions and majors offer lower tuition fees, with the overall range of about 8,000 to 700,000 yuan. Documents: Fees vary from institution to institution, but they don't span much, with tuition fees ranging from 8,000 to 60,000. The difference in the difficulty of the unified examination is a double certificate: there is only one chance to take the unified examination in December before admission, which is more difficult, and candidates need to reach the national line and the college re-examination line, and can only be re-examined after qualification review. Documents: After completing the credits, eligible personnel can take the unified examination in May, with a passing line of 60 points, usually 4 chances to take the exam, and the pass rate is higher. The difference between the suitable group of students is that it is suitable for people who have requirements for improving their academic qualifications and have strong test-taking ability. Documents: It is suitable for people who pay attention to the improvement of the degree level and have a weak foundation and want to enter without examination, including students who prefer online classes, because double degree courses usually do not provide online classes.

The choice of part-time graduate student or equivalent academic qualification depends on the individual's career planning, learning needs and personal circumstances. Although the dual degree program is relatively high in terms of entry threshold, learning cost and examination difficulty, being able to obtain both academic qualifications and degree certificates has obvious advantages for career promotion and academic development. Documentary courses, on the other hand, are more suitable for those who wish to upgrade their degree level in a more flexible way. Whichever path you choose, you need to have a clear understanding of your career goals and personal abilities and make the most suitable choice.
