Fully dedicated to quality-oriented postgraduate education as it has always been, the School of Management spares no effort in completing a comprehensive talent-cultivating mechanism and a positive academic environment, adopting down-to-earth policy in curriculum arrangements and scientific research, in addition to a teaching philosophy of matching in-class study closely with out-of-class practices, with an aim to raise high-quality, all-round managing talents who are equipped with a global perspective and a professional capability of innovation in their respective fields of research. To do that, the School will launch a consecutive MPHIL-PHD degree program starting from 2008, strictly targeting those students who have potential and interest in academic research. Meanwhile, the School goes out to streamline the second-level disciplines, by delivering the core curricula to all the postgraduate students according to standards of first-level disciplines, regardless of their respective majors. After learning basic knowledge and research methods for three consecutive semesters, a qualification examination will be carried out in the fourth semester to pick up outstanding students for their PhD candidacies. Successful doctoral candidates then go to select their advisers in a bilateral way, hammering out their specializations in academic research during their doctoral study period. As to facilitate those consecutive MPHIL-PHD degree candidates, the School is to present overseas exchange opportunities for them, for example, to send students to stay half a year to one year in overseas universities in a context of collaborative program or joint research arrangement during their third or fourth semester for further study.
