Degree Type and Program Objectives
Management Science and Engineering is a discipline that integrates management theory with management practice. This program trains high-level management and professional leadership talents who are well-rounded in character, intellect, physical fitness, aesthetics, and ethics; possess sound management competence and a well-structured knowledge base; demonstrate strong problem analysis and complex problem-solving capabilities; possess scientific literacy and a rigorous research attitude; exhibit team spirit and communication skills; engage in independent thinking and critical reasoning; bear a sense of social responsibility; and uphold academic ethics, academic norms, and business ethics.
Doctoral graduates should lay a broad, solid theoretical foundation and acquire systematic, in-depth specialized knowledge in management science, economics, information science, and systems science. They should have a comprehensive grasp of the theoretical frontiers of the discipline, master modern research methods and techniques, and demonstrate a strong ability to formulate, analyze, and solve problems. They should possess acute analytical thinking, continuously strengthen their original innovative capacity, and contribute to theory building and knowledge creation. They should develop research acumen and master rigorous research methods and academic norms. They should have a sharp insight into real-world management issues in the economy and society, be able to distill them into research questions in management, and advance them through theoretical refinement and innovation. They must be proficient in a foreign language, with strong academic writing skills and the ability to engage in international academic exchanges. Graduates should be oriented toward global academic frontiers and national strategic needs, committed to solving practical management problems, and prepared to independently conduct original research and teach in the field of Management Science and Engineering.
Program Duration, Study Period, and Credit Requirements
Regularly admitted doctoral students: standard duration is 4 years, with a maximum study period of 3–6 years and a minimum requirement of 18 credits.
Academic Activities and Seminars
This is a required component for academic degree students, graded on a pass/fail basis and worth 1 credit upon passing. Academic activities include lectures, domestic and international conferences, and graduate forums.
Doctoral students must participate in no fewer than 20 academic activities. In addition, each doctoral student must attend at least one national or international academic conference in their discipline and deliver an oral presentation in a foreign language at the conference.
Other Required Components
1. All students must complete the MOOC course on thesis writing (non-credit).
2. Social practice and international exchange: students should gain practical social experience during their studies. Doctoral students are required to have experience in overseas research, international joint training programs, or international academic exchanges, and must provide supporting documentation.
