重點提醒：Importan Reminders
第 四 條
Article 4
Doctoral degree examinations are required of all doctoral students after two years (or three years for accelerated doctoral program) of the prescribed coursework has been completed. A doctoral student who has advanced to doctoral degree candidacy (upon the support of the advisor) could submit one copy of each of the following documents to the program, department, and college to apply for taking the doctoral degree examination:
1.Draft of the dissertation (including an abstract)
2.Official transcripts
3.Application form for the doctoral degree examination
申請博士學位考試者，經系、所、學位學程主管同意後，由系、所、學位學程造具博士學位考試委員名冊連同其申請表，送註冊組覆核通過，即得舉行博士學位考試。
Once having been approved by the program, department and college chairs to take the doctoral degree examination, the program, department and college will add a list of the doctoral degree examination committee members to the application form and submit to the university registrar for secondary approval. Then, the doctoral degree examination can be scheduled.
In addition to meet all requirements listed above, students who are enrolled in the graduate and doctorate programs starting from (including) the 2015 Fall semester must complete National Tsing Hua University Academic Research Ethics Education Course before they apply for the doctoral degree examination. Students who have not completed the online course are not allowed to apply for their Oral Defense.
Article 5
A doctoral degree examination committee is comprised of five to nine members, of which at least 1/3 need to be “outside” members (i.e., from other universities). The advising professor serves as an ex-officio member (dual degree programs in cooperation with overseas academic institutions are not limited by this.), but he/she cannot serve as the dissertation chair. The attending committee members must nominate a dissertation chair person.
A doctoral graduate student’s spouse or third-degree relatives by blood or by marriage cannot serve on the doctoral degree examination committee.
At least 1/3 of the outside committee members must be in physical attendance for the examination to be held.
External and internal university examination committee members are appointed by the university president based on nominations from the department and college chair.
