International College of UCAS requires CAS-TWAS President’s Fellowship Awardees to take Ph.D. qualifying examination in order to assess the student’s potential to perform scholarly research at the Ph.D. level.
The Qualification Examination Committee will organize the qualifying examination only once each semester. Students should pass the Qualifying Examination within one year from the registration. Each student has two chances to pass the examination.
In the beginning of 2014, International College held the qualifying examination for the 2013 session students among whom 87.5% passed. Students who failed will have asecond chance to be evaluated. This time, the examination will be mainly assessed by supervisors as they already get an overall impression on the students’ basic knowledge and research skill.
