1. Culture Purpose 1.1 The doctors in our major should have ardent affection of our motherland and the socialism, as well as the communist party. Adhering to the basic route of the communist party, they ought to have the attributes of obeying the rules and laws of our country. They should study the Marxism, Leninism, thoughts of Mao Zedong and Theory of Deng Xiaoping on their own. As eligible persons with ability, who are devoted to the modernization of our motherland, as well as bolstering the direction of communist and specialist, they are supposed to be of good ethical attributes, have the precise and earnest attitudes towards academic researches, and hold a strong enterprise and an undivided devotion. 1.2 With a steady and broad theoretic background, as well as a thorough and systematic knowledge of our major, they ought to be in the wake of advanced development of science and technology, have the capacities of pursuing the scientific research independently, and score the creative accomplishments in the realms of theoretic research, experimental research, or the research of special technologies. 1.3 The doctors in our major are encouraged to participate into various cultural and physical activities, adhering to do the trainings, so as to keep the body healthy and vigorous. 1.4 "Material science" is a subject of researching the interaction between the material microstructure and macroscopic performance in the material preparation and material application, using the methods or instrumentalities of modern physics and chemistry. Using the modern theory and experimental technology to study the material of the function film photo electricity intelligence and the preparation and application of the relevant devices, to study the material formation, which is very non-equilibrium under the extreme condition, studying the metastable phase-change and the material structure and performance under a given condition. And also to illustrate the relationship among the compounds contexture structure and performance of the metal materials, which bases the phase-change and deformation. Researching on the fine texture and performance of the structure materials, which is used in the atomic reactor. Moreover, we still put our attention on the new theory and new preparation technology about the new material formation and structural transformation, on the development of the new application and mechanics in the area of the information, energy, structure, and environmental protection. So the education for a doctor should be combined with some advanced research or the important application research in the national economy, which is in order to make a doctor get a break through before his graduation and have the ability to solve the problem by himself in some area. 2. The fixed number of year 1) The study period for doctor is 3 years. 2) The study period for both master and doctor degrees successively with only one unified entrance is 4.5-5 years. 3) The study period for doctor on-the-job is 4-6 years. 3.
