“学士” (xuéshì) is a Chinese term that translates to "bachelor" in English. It refers to an academic degree awarded to students who have completed undergraduate studies at a university or college. Typically, this degree signifies that the individual has gained a foundational level of knowledge in a specific field, such as 文学 (literature), 科学 (science), or 工程 (engineering). In the context of higher education, obtaining a “学士” degree usually requires three to four years of study, depending on the program and institution. Graduates with this degree often pursue further education, such as a master's degree, or enter the workforce in their chosen field.
