What is the doctorate?

Doctor is a title for graduate students studying for a doctorate, and it can also be used to address people who have obtained a doctorate. Enrollment is mainly conducted through the "doctoral entrance examination" held by ordinary colleges and universities with doctoral programs and relevant scientific research institutions with doctoral training qualifications.

Doctor is a degree that marks a person's ability to produce original results or academic ability, and it is the highest degree at present. Having a doctorate or equivalent academic ability means that a person has the ability to enter the academic stage from the learning stage. The ability to produce original results or academic ability is the core connotation of doctoral degree, and it is also the most essential feature of people with doctoral degree.

Extended data:

Doctor is the highest degree, that is to say, the highest level that a student can obtain (in some countries, doctoral students are also jobs, such as Germany). Postdoctoral researchers, also known as postdoctoral researchers, refer to those who engage in related research in universities or scientific research institutions or continue their studies within a limited time after obtaining a doctorate. Postdoctoral students are not degrees.

Postdoctoral researchers refer to those who are registered with the approval of the Office of the National Postdoctoral Management Committee and engaged in postdoctoral scientific research at mobile stations or workstations. It has the following characteristics:

1, a postdoctoral fellow shows an experience. Doctor is the highest degree, so "postdoctoral" can not be regarded as a higher degree than doctor, and postdoctoral researchers can not be awarded any other degree title. At the same time, "postdoctoral" is not a professional technical or administrative position.

2. Postdoctoral researchers are mainly engaged in scientific research, which is often exploratory, pioneering and innovative.

3. Postdoctoral researchers are official national staff, not students. During the postdoctoral research, the length of service shall be calculated as other regular employees, and they shall enjoy the same treatment as the regular employees of their own units in addition to the preferential treatment provided by the state.

4. For the station-setting unit, postdoctoral fellows are time-limited staff and are not included in the official establishment. They must flow out of the station after their work expires. They are actually in a state of mobility before they get a fixed job.
