Cultivation Mode

Students are required to work out a plan in the first two weeks after registration and are bound to participate in the stage assessment in the third semester according to Master Degree Candidate Medium-Term Screening Method of South China University of Technology and complete social practices before the 20th week in the third semester.

Dissertation

Students should draw up a working plan for the theses between the 11th and the 20th weeks in the third semester; start writing Literature Review (no less than 5000 words) and thesis proposals. More than 50 pieces of document have to be covered in the literature review, among which those in English should amount to no less than 10 pieces. Thesis proposals are expected to be finished in the third semester. Before applying for the thesis defense, students are required to have published one research paper in core academic journals with South China University of Technology signed as the first unit, the student signed as the first author or the supervisor signed as the first author whereas the student the second, or have one authorized patent. On the completion of theses, thesis defense will be arranged according to Rules for the Implementation of Graduation Degrees of South China University of Technology and Regulations of the Applications for Thesis Defense of South China University of Technology. Apart from the above related regulations of degree thesis made by SCUT, the thesis is supposed to meet the school requirements in terms of its academic nature, systematicness, innovativeness and the art of writing.
