Huaqiao University (HQU) has recently scheduled, for its Master and Doctoral students, online pre-defense, which involves some 1,000 Doctoral candidates and Master students of 26 colleges and schools, 2 research institutes and 4 degree-granting institutions.  

To cater to different needs of the students, all colleges and schools have adopted a great variety of plans. Students can either have a live pre-defense via such platforms as Dingtalk, Tencent Meeting and Wechat Work, or have their pre-recorded videos submitted prior to the defense. Committee members of the defense will reach their conclusions by online questions, discussions as well as debates and written comments.

Experts from Teaching Superintendence observe the whole process of the online pre-defense. Up to now, experts have already inspected College of Tourism, College of Mechanical and Engineering Automation and School of Arts. Based on the reflection of the Teaching Superintendence, the overall effect is satisfying, with full preparations being made for this online pre-defense and constructive exchanges being carried out during pre-defense. According to the feedback from the Teaching Superintendence and different schools and colleges, Graduate School will further optimize the proposal so as to ensure a smooth online pre-defense and quality dissertations.
