The relevant responsible teacher said, "Three years is too short to train a researcher who is really interested in academics. The reform is to give students more time to do more quality research, thus improving the quality of doctoral students and improving the education level of doctoral students. "
Teacher Gu, executive vice president of Fudan Graduate School, said that many disciplines in the school have tried or are considering extending the doctoral training to four years, such as theoretical economics and history. In addition, the school scholarship system also covers four years. (Reporter He Wuhong Lin)
Starting next year, the doctoral degree of Fudan Chinese Department will be increased to four years.
"From 20 1 1, the study time of doctoral students in Fudan Chinese Department will be changed from 3 years to 4 years." Yesterday, Fudan issued a new regulation, "doctoral training in Chinese Department increases the study period 1 year". In addition, the school also plans to implement a direct scholarship system in basic disciplines such as mathematics and physics, and set up new practices such as canceling the qualification examination and allowing to change majors to improve the "excellent rate" of doctors.
According to the new regulations, the Chinese Department has put forward higher requirements for the cultivation of doctoral students. For example, doctoral students majoring in comparative literature suggest taking a classical language such as ancient Greek and Latin at the master's level; Doctoral students must attend academic lectures of their major and write academic reports on related words; On a voluntary basis, excellent doctoral students are encouraged to complete more than five elective courses.
In order to cooperate with the policy of extending the study time, the doctoral tutor of Chinese Department will also implement the enrollment system every other year. "Fudan has about 1 1,000 doctoral supervisors, and recruits about 1 1 person every year. On average, it is 1 to 1. However, in order to cultivate more pertinence, doctoral tutors can choose which year and how many students to recruit in the future. " Gu, executive vice president of Fudan University Graduate School, introduced.
In addition, Gu Shenyun revealed: "Not only the Chinese Department, but also the basic disciplines such as mathematics and physics of Fudan University may adopt a long academic system and introduce more direct programs in the future."
At present, the school has communicated with the Ministry of Education the preliminary ideas, hoping that the direct training programs of other majors can be approved.
