On June 6th, the Kick-Off Meeting for the 2017 Newly-Added Doctoral and Master’s Degree Programs was held in Conference Room 220 of Songen Building. President Zhu Chongshi attended the meeting and offered a speech; and Vice President Wu Daguang chaired the meeting. Other attenders included Tao Tao, executive dean of Graduate School, Fang Ying, vice dean and director of Office of Academic Affairs in Graduate School and college leaders who planned to apply for newly-added Doctoral and Master’s degree programs.

At the meeting, Tao Tao, executive dean of Graduate School, made arrangements about the application of newly-added Doctoral and Master’s degree programs in XMU on the basis of the current degree programs, and the general requirements, principles, range, procedure and schedule of the application work. He pointed out that the application, guided by The Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Degrees and Graduate Education Development, was strictly in line with the requirements of Academic Degree Office of the State Council and Academic Degree Office in Fujian Province and characterized by need-, quality-, application- and feature- oriented principles. Combined with the education goal and discipline development plan, it would continue to facilitate the discipline development in XMU.

Vice President Wu Daguang said that all colleges took the initiative to apply for the newly-added programs. He communicated with the teachers present and answered some questions. He pointed out the top priority at current stage included the application of newly-added Doctoral and Master’s degree programs and independent examination and approval of the programs in XMU. All colleges should attach great importance, make arrangements to orderly advance the application work. All colleges should be clear of their own due work and coordinate with the workers of former Doctoral and Master’s degree programs.

At last, President Zhu Chongshi made a summary of the meeting. He said that Doctoral and Master’s degree programs were the most basic frame and platform for the development of all disciplines. XMU highly emphasized the importance of this application. He presented three requirements: first, attach great importance, make careful arrangement, be clear of the work division and spare no efforts to perform in line with the application procedure; second, allocate resources effectively and reasonably, hold a whole-picture outlook, regard XMU as a well-connected organism, and effectively distribute discipline resources; third, in order to build academically top disciplines, all colleges and schools should regard the application as a priority, work together and shoulder the responsibility in the application work.
