V. Courses Curriculum and Credits Allocation
The course curriculum is shown in the 1st-level discipline courses curriculum of Physics for Academic PhD Candidates and Postgraduates pursuing adcademic degree.
VI. Specific Requirements for PhD Candidates Education
1. The education mode for PhD students employs the supervisor-responsible system, which establishes the supervisor-headed instruction group. It means that supervisor should be responsible for the cultivation and assessment of PhD candidates.
2. Restriction of Cross 1st-level discipline courses
(1)Cross 1st-level discipline courses refer to the other postgraduate courses in the same level. Students are required to attend class and take the examination of the course.
(2)Cross 1st-level discipline courses selected should be different from the courses completed in the postgraduate phase.
3. Dissertation Proposal (1 credit) should include:
(1) The source and significance of the topic
(2) Literature review of the research at home and abroad regarding the topic;
(3) The research content, planned research method and technical skills;
(4) The anticipated innovative achievements in theoretical and practical aspects;
(5) Anticipated results;
(6) References
4. Dissertation interim report
PhD candidates are supposed to report to the instruction group or experts the research results of the degree dissertation, and listen to advice and make revision. The dissertation shall not be started before acceptance of the innovative achievements of the research.
5. Application for doctoral dissertation defense and qualification review
The supervisor or the instruction group conducts doctoral dissertation qualification review.
