This aims to investigate the history and current situation of their research areas, and then identify the research topic and complete the proposal. The proposal should describe some key issues of the research, such as: topic basis, research approaches, expected goals and novelty and schedule.

Proposal presentations of MSc students are organized after a permission of the supervisor in each research group. The research group sets up an assessment team (excluding the supervisor and other committee members) for the proposal presentations. The assessment team has at least 5 specialists from this subject or the related subject, and one of them manages the assessment work. The proposal assessment adopts team-scoring system.

The dissertation defense must be arranged 8 months later after getting a pass of the proposal.

2. Progression Report

The progression report must be conducted around 6 months later after the proposal.

3. Complete complete scientific research training and obtain corresponding scientific research results

MSc students must participate in the complete process of scientific research training during the school period, including assistance in project application writing, undertaking project research points, assistance in organizing final research materials and results.

MSc students should write academic papers during their studies, and publish or accept 1 academic paper as the first author or the tutor as the first author and the applicant as the second author in the computer-related domestic and international core journals or international conferences.
