Third, the academic system of Hotan University.
Master enrolls students in spring and autumn every year, and the academic system is generally two years. Among them, the first year is mostly course study, and the second year is usually 6 months of graduation thesis (big thesis) plus 4-6 months of internship or small thesis. Each academic year is divided into six semesters (Periods, P 1-P6). The calculation of the general term begins in September, and P 1, P2, P5 and P6 are two months respectively, and P3 and P4 are one month each.
The difference with China is that the teaching arrangement here is very concentrated. Each long semester is generally 2-3 courses, and the short semester is generally 1-2 courses. After a P, take an exam, and then move on to the next P course. This setting will make many students (including myself) who are used to a domestic course uncomfortable in the first half of the year.
