（I）The duration of study
The full-time postgraduate study period is 3 years, and the on-the-job postgraduate study period is generally 4 years. If necessary, the extension can be applied for up to five years. The training period is 2.5-4 years. The working time of the dissertation is not less than 1.5 years. If graduation in 2.5 years, one paper should be published in class B or above journals or conferences recommended by CCF, and the academic paper requires the applicant as the first author, or the tutor as the first author and the applicant as the second author.
（II）Training modes
The training process of graduate students is divided into course study, practice and dissertation work. The total credits for course study and practice should reach 28 credits. The training process strengthens bilingual teaching, including the direct use of English original textbooks to cultivate students' international academic communication skills. The cultivation of graduate students implements the tutor responsibility system, and the guidance team under the guidance of the tutor guides the whole process of graduate training. The tutor is not only responsible for formulating graduate training plans, guiding scientific research, professional practice and degree thesis, but also for guiding, demonstrating and supervising the ideological ethics and academic ethics of graduate students.
The total credits of the course shall be no less than 22 credits, including no less than 14 credits for degree courses and no less than 8 credits for elective courses.
Practice credits and theory credits can not 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. The students who have an academic paper that is accepted in the international conference or top level national conference can be regarded as qualified academic report. 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 at least 20 literatures including at least 10 foreign 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 enter the stage of research proposal making.
3、Academic report (1 credit/time)
MSc students must attend demonstration of literature review, progress report or research seminar no less than two 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.
The MSc research of this discipline consists of fields in the computer science and 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 MSc 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.
1、Proposal
MSc 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.
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 amount of the postponed MSc students must be greater than 10% of the total. The time and location of the presentation will be published online. Each MSc student is allowed to attend the proposal presentation at most two times, and the second time must be arranged after at least three months.

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. Or one national or international invention patent is authorized by the first author or the tutor as the first author and the applicant as the second author.
4、 Dissertation Writing-up
The MSc students 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”.
