1, stick to Lide Shu Ren.
The regulations follow the spirit of the National Education Conference and the National Postgraduate Education Conference and the trinity education concept of the school, and modify the training goal of master students to "train master students to become socialist builders and successors with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor".
2. Strengthen the classification culture.
The "Regulations" further highlights the concept of classified training of graduate students, and embodies the requirements of balanced training of graduate students with degree and professional degree. In terms of training objectives, master students are required to "master solid basic theories and systematic professional knowledge in this discipline or professional degree category", and at the same time, "master students with degrees have the ability to engage in academic research and master students with professional degrees have the ability to undertake specialized technical work".
The master's training plan should be formulated according to the relevant requirements of the state and the school and combined with the actual situation. At the same time, the training plan for professional degree graduate students should also be formulated with reference to the requirements of the corresponding national professional degree graduate education steering Committee. In the course (link) setting, it requires "compulsory professional ethics course for professional degree graduates", "compulsory professional practice for full-time professional degree graduates" and "compulsory professional practice or academic activities for part-time professional degree graduates".
3. Improve the degree evaluation.
The "Regulations" resolutely break the tendency of "only papers" in the evaluation of master's degrees, cancel the requirement that "non-professional master students should at least complete a paper related to the content of their dissertations and meet the requirements for publication", and do not regard the publication of academic papers as a precondition for applying for dissertation defense or applying for a degree.
According to the standard of innovation achievements in postgraduate degree application formulated by academic degree evaluation committee in 2020, it is stipulated that "dissertation is the main basis for degree evaluation", requiring postgraduate students to "independently complete dissertation research under the guidance of tutors, and the corresponding innovation achievements should be presented in the form of dissertations"; "Master students can apply for dissertation defense only after they have completed their personal training plan and reached the relevant requirements of the training program of their discipline or professional degree category, and completed their dissertation work and reached the relevant requirements".
4. Promote cross-innovation
In the past 20 years, Tsinghua University has set up interdisciplinary subjects such as bioinformatics, master of information art design, Su Shimin scholar program, interdisciplinary talents training program in clinical medicine and interdisciplinary degree programs, which have promoted cross-integration and innovation and accumulated training experience.
In 20 18, the school revised and passed the working methods of the interdisciplinary degree working Committee, which was tried for three years, and straightened out the degree awarding mechanism for interdisciplinary training of graduate students. The revision of the "Regulations" has increased the requirements for interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary postgraduate training. This kind of master students can take courses (links) of other disciplines or professional degree categories as needed on the premise that the degree courses (links) basically meet the relevant requirements of the training program of major disciplines or professional degree categories (disciplines or professional degree categories applying for degrees).
While giving flexibility to the individual training plan, we should strengthen the control of the postgraduate training process, and require experts from other disciplines or professional degree categories to participate in the topic selection report and the mid-term examination of the dissertation.
5. Strengthen process management.
While getting rid of the "thesis-only" tendency of graduate degree evaluation, in 2020, the school issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Whole Process Management of Postgraduate Degree Thesis Quality" to strengthen the evaluation of postgraduate training process and increase the diversion. For the topic selection report of master's degree thesis, it is stipulated that "in the process of dissertation research, if the topic selection needs major adjustment, the literature review and topic selection report should be re-completed".
At the same time, the "Regulations" require that "in the middle of the research process of master's degree thesis, the department should organize an assessment team to check its comprehensive ability, work progress, work attitude and energy input according to the discipline or professional degree category", and those who pass the examination can continue to carry out the research work of master's degree thesis.
6. Standard stylistic terms
Since 20 17, the school has strengthened the construction of rules and regulations and formulated corresponding management regulations and technical specifications. In the process of revision, according to the requirements of the new style, the "Regulations" are expressed in the form of articles, which are divided into seven chapters and 21 articles.
At the same time, combined with other school reform measures, the relevant provisions were revised. For example, the expression of the evaluation team of the master's degree thesis topic selection report is changed from "3 associate professors or experts with the same title or above" to "3 teachers with master's guidance qualifications or experts with the deputy senior title or above". In addition, with the continuous improvement of the degree of internationalization of postgraduate education in schools, it is clearly stated in the annex to the Regulations that "postgraduate training for international students shall be implemented with reference to these Regulations".
The new Regulations will be used to guide the formulation and revision of postgraduate training programs in various disciplines and professional degree categories. The school will publicize and train the graduate education management system of the department in combination with the formulation of the 20021master training plan to ensure that all new requirements are put in place.
Beijing News-Tsinghua University revised the regulations on postgraduate training: you don't have to publish a paper to apply for a master's degree.
