China's degree categories are divided into academic degrees and professional degrees. Academic degrees are awarded according to disciplines, namely, bachelor's degree/master's degree/doctor's degree in philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, military science, management and art.
Although professional degrees are also divided into three levels: bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctor's degree, generally only master's degree is set up. The name of professional degree is "professional degree of master (bachelor, doctor) in ×× (professional field)".
Setup profile
In recent years, with China's economic and social development and industrial transformation and upgrading, the demand of industrial enterprises for high-level applied talents is more vigorous, and the development of professional degree postgraduate education has attracted much attention from the society.
In order to facilitate all sectors of society to know about the development of professional degrees in colleges and universities, students' application and employers' inquiries, on the basis of the reports submitted by the steering committees of professional degree education, the the State Council Academic Degrees Committee Office summarized the field settings of various professional degree categories.
The field setting of professional degree categories is mainly divided into two situations, one is that there are detailed fields, and the other is that there are no fields. Among the professional degree categories with different fields, some categories, such as traditional Chinese medicine, have adopted similar methods in enrollment and training, and set up internal medicine and surgery of traditional Chinese medicine to highlight the characteristics of personnel training, but the fields have not been uniformly announced.
Some categories, such as law, divide the enrollment objects into law (law) and law (illegal science), but they are consistent in talent training objectives and do not belong to the field setting category.
