Ⅴ. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Duration of study is typically last three years for full-time graduate students. If some students cannot finish the program as expected, the extension period is generally no more than one years. The training period is 2.5-4 years. If you graduate for 2.5 years, you will need to add a paper at the SCI source or CCF recommendation.
The course of the graduate students is divided into the course of study, practice and degree thesis, the total credits of the course study and practice should reach 26 credits. The graduate students should be directed by a qualified major supervisor, as well as a committee panel containing several qualified co-advisors/committee members. The supervisor is not only responsible for the development of students training program, guiding scientific research, professional practice and degree papers, etc., but also responsible for guidance, demonstration and supervision of graduate students' Ideological and moral, academic ethics.

Ⅵ. Requirement for Course Credits
The courses for graduate students have two types: compulsory courses and elective courses. The degree courses should not be less than 14 credits, and the major elective courses should not be less than 8.

Ⅶ. Credits Requirement for Practice
Practice credits and theory credits cannot transfer to each other, only when both of the practice credits and theory credits requirements are satisfied; the MSc students may proceed to submission and defense of their dissertations. The total practice credits are no less than 6.
(1). Academic Activities (2 credits)
MSc students must participate in various kinds of academic activities, which include “Lectures on academic ethics” organized by JSU, lectures presented by well-known scholars, seminars as well as graduate forum, during the MSc period, the students must present no less than 10 times.
Assessment of academic activities is in charge of discipline-team; furthermore, the students must have an academic paper that is accepted in the international conference or top level national conference. The students will obtain 2 credits when they have qualified academic activity attendance and published papers or reports.
(2). Literature Review (2 credits)
MSc students should read a number of literatures for the development of the ability to acquire knowledge by themselves. The ability to do literature review will be assessed by the group of experts. The students will get 2 credits when qualified, otherwise, they will not be able to proceed to the opening.  
(3). Academic Report (1 credit/time)
MSc students must attend demonstration of literature review, progress report or research seminar no less than one times. The discipline team leader will assess the report, the qualified students will get 1 credit per time.
(4). Practice (1 credit)
MSc students should attend a practical session during their master’s on less than one month. The practical session includes teaching practical and production practice. Teaching practice consists of the tasks of coursework correction, question answering and experimental teaching. Production teaching requires technical experience of students in an industry place for at least one month. MSc students need choose one of them and thereafter they must complete a practical report. The practical session is assessed by the master’s supervisors. The qualified students will obtain 1 credit.
(5). Dissertation
The master postgraduate research of this discipline consists of fields in the computer application technology and the research of application foundation, and promotes the study of theory and technologies in the leading and the cross subjects. Degree thesis should represent that the master postgraduate students have a firm and comprehensive grasp of basic theories and profound and systematic specialized knowledge in the discipline concerned, master the scientific research approaches and experiment skills of their research areas, and have the ability to undertake the research task independently.
Degree thesis should be fluent, logical and well-reasoned. The main opinions should have sufficient novelty. The degree thesis must consist of abstract (English & Chinese), introduction, main body, conclusion and references, and so on.
The degree thesis process is distributed into four stages: proposal, progression report, dissertation writing up and dissertation defense.
·Proposal
Master postgraduate students must conduct massive literature review and related investigation before writing up. 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.
The dissertation defense must be arranged 1 years (at least 11 months) later after getting a pass of the proposal.
·Progression Report
The progression report must be conducted around 6 months later after the proposal.
·Publications and Achievements
Master postgraduate students are encouraged to publish academic thesis and make more research attributes.
·Dissertation Writing-up
The master postgraduate student must complete degree dissertation independently under the direction of the supervisor. Dissertation format can be found from “Jiangsu University Degree Thesis Writing-up Format Requirements”.
·Dissertation Assessment and Defense
Dissertation assessment and defense requirements can be found from “Jiangsu University Academic Degree-conferring Detailed Codes” and “Jiangsu University Degree Thesis Blind Review Implementation Details”.

Ⅷ. Advisory Committee and Supervisory
The Steering Committee as a graduate student is composed of the Faculty Committee and regularly inspects and guides.
