Our Summer/Winter Session

The Summer/Winter Session is a specially designed study arrangement for the Ph.D. program, aiming to provide students with more flexible learning opportunities. The Ph.D. program typically spans three years, and the first year’s Summer/Winter Session plays a crucial role in the curriculum. During this period, students return to the university and engage in an intensive 5-month course study. This concentrated learning approach helps students rapidly acquire essential knowledge and research skills.

In the subsequent Summer/Winter Sessions of the second and third years, students return to the university to communicate with their supervisors regarding the progress of their research. This arrangement ensures that students maintain close contact with their supervisors, promptly address research challenges, and ensure the smooth progression of their dissertations.

Apart from the dedicated Summer/Winter Sessions, students enjoy more autonomy during other times. Typically, students have the option to return to their home countries to continue their dissertation writing. This flexible arrangement allows students to strike a better balance between their academic tasks and personal life demands, especially beneficial for those with family and work responsibilities.

During the Summer/Winter Session, each supervisor usually conducts face-to-face classes for a small group of 3-4 students, using English as the medium of instruction. This small class teaching model fosters effective communication and interaction between students and supervisors, facilitating a deeper understanding of complex research concepts and methodologies.

The dissertation is written in English, and the defense is also conducted in English. This practice helps cultivate students’ ability to communicate and collaborate in the international academic community, providing them with more opportunities for international academic research and cooperation in the future.

Upon successful completion of all academic requirements, the university will arrange for the official academic credentialing process. Students will receive formal recognition of their degrees after returning to their home countries, supporting their future career development and academic pursuits.
