Ⅵ. Advisory Committee and Supervisory
The postgraduate students should be directed by a committee panel containing several
qualified co-advisors/committee members in order to ensure the high quality of M.Sc.
program. The Advisory Committee initially consists of at least 5 members of the Graduate
Faculty, including the Major Advisor, who acts as the chair. The committee should be in
charge of the following tasks:
1) Help the student to choose appropriate courses, and provide consultation on how to
improve the level of lecture delivery;
2) Organize the Thesis Proposal Presentation;
3) Check the thesis before being submitted.
The committee should be established by the end of the second semester of the student‟s
graduate career.
Ⅶ. Dissertation
The level of the quality of postgraduate thesis is a comprehensive measure of postgraduate
training quality and academic standards as an important symbol. Dissertation can be basic
research, applied basic research, and Engineering application research, particularly to
strengthen the study of the frontier disciplines and the field of cross interdisciplinary
penetration, participate in a major issue to solve the forefront of high-tech development,
put forward a new concept, new theories, new methods, new technologies;Participate in
solving the major theoretical and engineering problems of national economic construction,
and, as far as possible, participate in an important national research project which is
undertaken by the supervisor or School of Food and Biological Engineering. The thesis
should reflect that the author has grasped solid and wide basic theory as well as systemic
expertise in this discipline. The dissertation should normally include two aspects of
theoretical analysis and experimental research. It also should focus on the depth and
breadth of content, highlighting the innovative and original insights or open up new areas.
Dissertation should be, under the guidance of an instructor, completed by the postgraduate
students himself or herself to indicate that the author has the ability to undertake
independent scientific research or to be independently responsible for the specialized
technical work.
including:
(1)Topics of the report
After enrollment, the postgraduate student should know his research direction clearly,
5
under the guidance of the instructor, and participate in scientific research. Usually after
passing the qualification exam within the second school year, through the collection and
read literature, the postgraduate. student should carry out research and experimental work,
complete the report about topics of dissertation, and employ experts of the relevant
disciplines and evaluate the report of the topics. After the passage of the deliberations of
the topics of the report, the postgraduate student prepares the implementation plan of
thesis under the guidance of the instructor. Topics of reports and papers on the work plan
are triplicate. One is saved by the supervisor, another by the student, and the third by
College within 2 weeks after the passing. In the process of dissertation work, allowing for
partial adjustment of the work plan, however, in principle, the titles are not allowed to
change. If there are special reasons that support to change the title, candidate for M.Sc.
degree should write an application himself or herself, and signing an opinion on the
application by your major supervisor, recorded by the College Graduate Office, and timely
redo report about topics of dissertation.
(2)Publications and Research Achievements
The postgraduate students have to obtain some research achievements during their studies
and they are required to publish academic paper.
(3)Thesis Writing
The thesis should be written by the candidate independently under the guidance of his/her
supervisor. The format of the thesis can be found in <Requirements of Thesis Format in
Jiangsu University>.
(4)Thesis Exam and Oral Defense
The requirements for thesis exam and oral defense can be found in <Regulations of
conferring academic degrees in Jiangsu University> and <Interim Provisions of
“Double-Blind Peer Review” for Postgraduate Student‟s Thesis in Jiangsu University>.
