Training links and credit requirements

4. Curriculum

 

5. Training guidance

1. The training of doctoral students is based on the tutor responsibility system, and the guidance group responsibility system based on the tutor can also be implemented; the postgraduate training guidance program is studied collectively by the graduate department, and the instructor (group) is responsible for specific guidance.

2. The tutor (group) is responsible for the daily management, academic style and academic ethics education of graduate students, formulates reasonable and scientific study plans, strengthens the cultivation of graduate students' creative thinking ability, and improves the comprehensive ability of graduate students' self-study, hands-on, expression, writing and innovation.

3. The tutor (group) organizes graduate students to participate in necessary academic lectures, academic reports, seminars, social practice and other activities according to actual conditions, in order to broaden the knowledge structure of graduate students, and to cultivate and improve their ability to analyze and solve practical problems.

4. The college is responsible for the supervision of postgraduate training, including postgraduate selection reports, comprehensive examinations, and mid-term assessments.

5. After the completion of the course, the doctoral student's comprehensive assessment of the doctoral students before the dissertation begins is an important part of the doctoral student training process. The main contents of the assessment include:

(1) Review the implementation of the doctoral program and the results of the course test. Pay special attention to the basic foreign language and professional foreign language mastery, and ask for necessary foreign language written and oral tests.

(2) Evaluate the doctoral students' understanding of the study area of the subject. PhD students are required to read the literature on the basis of reading 80 to 100 references, completing literature review combined with study track. The review should provide a detailed introduction to recent domestic and international research trends in related fields of the certain subject, including major advances in these fields, cutting-edge topics, and major research methods and tools.

(3) Evaluate the ability to independently engage in scientific research, the scientific research quality and scientific research style of doctoral students; examine their political and ideological performance, learning and work attitude etc.

The comprehensive examination is a necessary preparation for the opening report, and can be combined with the opening report, but the two are different links in the cultivation process and cannot replace each other.

The comprehensive examination for doctoral students is organized by a special examination committee consisting of three to five teachers with senior professional titles in the subject, and set a chairman for the examination committee, presiding over the examination. The doctoral tutor who directs the student can take part in the examination committee, but not the person in charge. Those who fail to pass the comprehensive examination may apply for re-examination within half a year (no later than the fourth semester). If the applicant has not passed, the paper will be terminated and the distribution system will be eliminated according to the relevant regulations of the school.

6. Thesis Requirements

1. The working hours of doctoral students' papers should generally be no less than 2 years, and the starting time of the papers should be counted from the opening of the report.

The members of the topic selection meeting will be composed of teachers with associate professor title or above related to the research direction of doctoral thesis. Among them, there are no less than 3 senior titles and no less than 5 members in all in the meeting committee. Ph.D. students whose opening report has passed can begin to work towards the thesis. Those whose opening report did not pass will be postponed to apply again for the thesis opening report for 4 months. Those who have passed the opening question but changed the topic for any reason should reorganize the topic selection report meeting under the arrangement of the tutor and the requirements are the same as above.

2. The doctoral thesis should focus on the issues that need to be solved urgently in the subject or related fields. The topic selection of the thesis has certain innovation and feasibility, be forward-looking and has important theoretical significance and engineering value.

3. The doctoral dissertation literature review should be comprehensive and in-depth, and can accurately extract key issues; the thesis has a full workload, written specifications, reasonable structure, clear hierarchy, typographic norms, and clear charts.

4. The research work of doctoral thesis should achieve outstanding and innovative results. The main innovations of the thesis should be published. The main forms include publishing papers in relevant academic journals at home and abroad, participating in international or domestic academic conferences, and applying for various patents, standards, awards for scientific and technological achievements at all levels.

7. Thesis review and defense

The review and defense of thesis are required to refer to the “Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Degrees in Chongqing University”, “Basic Requirements for Thesis for Postgraduate Application for Master and PhD Degrees of Science in Chongqing University”, “Administrative Measures for the Evaluation of Doctoral Thesis in Chongqing University”, “Methods for Examination and Management of Secret Thesis for Postgraduate in Chongqing University” and some relevant documents

8. Graduation and degree award

Those who get the required training credits and pass the thesis reply will be allowed to graduate and a diploma will be issued. The examination of the Academic Degrees Sub-committee shall be carried out.
