Other specific requirements refer to the ‘Doctoral Training Program (General) in Jiangsu University’.

Ⅵ. Steering Committee and Guidance

Doctoral students apply online first, and supervisors recruit students through the relevant materials submitted. After enrollment, Doctoral students develop a personal study plan based on the training Program under the guidance of the supervisor. The steering committee is made up of at least 4 Ph.D. supervisors, including a steering committee chairman; at least two of the committee members are from this school. The other two committee members can come from other schools, and at least one of them has the graduate tutor title. The steering committee is established at the end of the second term after enrollment.

Ⅶ. Dissertation
