What is meant when they say degree?

Hello.


I have been looking/shopping for positions for jobs there in HK and, many of them are asking for a degree.


I understand our systems (US and HK) are different, and am seeking a little guidance with that. When they say degree, do they mean a specific level of degree, or ANY level of degree? They don't specify as clearly as they commonly do in the US.


For example, in the US we have Associate level degrees equate to 2 years school, bachelors 4 years, on and on.

a degree here commonly refers to a undergrad/bachelor degree

If an employer asks for your qualifications or degree, then just list them. Associate degree in XX or Bachelors degree in YY, Masters degree in ZZ. Because the recruiter didn't specify what degree, then I would expect the applicant to take the initiative to list them as appropriate.


I am not sure, but it sounds like an Associate level degree (2 years) is just a diploma.

bob the builder: Here a diploma is usually referred to as the completion certificate for High School or Secondary School.


Pretty much everything from post-secondary is a degree.


But it might be helpful to know if there it is in fact called a diploma.
