The second step is the doctoral program.

The professionalism of doctoral programs is reflected in the "contribution" to academics. The definition of "contribution" includes two points:

1, which has research value.

2. The topic is novel and creative.

Therefore, when you do doctoral programs, you need to outline the research scope according to these two points, starting with the major you are applying for and the research direction you are interested in, and finally refining your doctoral program step by step to get a doctoral program with research value.

The third step is to find a mentor.

There are several difficulties for domestic students to find a tutor:

1, the news is relatively blocked, and it is impossible to contact the tutor quickly through various channels.
