丁香园AV Calendar 2012 Fall

Students in this graduate dual degree program (GDDP), jointly developed by 丁香园AV and Zhejiang University (ZU), China, will acquire two graduate degrees. Graduates will receive a master of science (MSc) degree from 丁香园AV, and a master of software engineering (MSE) degree from Zhejiang University. Students will study and conduct research at both universities.

The language of instruction at 丁香园AV is English, while at Zhejiang University, it is either English and/or Chinese.

丁香园AV Requirements

Students must be admitted to one university, and then apply and be admitted to the other university.

To qualify for admission, students must satisfy the usual admission requirements as specified by each university. The university of first admission will be referred to as the student's 'home' university. Students whose home university is 丁香园AV are called 丁香园AV students while those whose home university is Zhejiang are called ZU students.

Once admitted to the home university, the student may then apply for admission to the graduate dual degree program normally within 12 months of the date of admission to the home university graduate program. The program application requires the support and involvement of the student's supervisor at the home university. The graduate program committee at the home university decides whether or not to recommend the student for admission to the GDDP. A recommended individual's application will then be forwarded to the other partner university. Applicants must meet the admission requirements of that partner university.

Program Withdrawal

A student may withdraw from the GDDP master's program by transferring to the master's program at their home university at any time. The full academic record at the partner university may be used to determine standing at the home university. A student may withdraw by transferring to the master's program of the partner university only with permission of the graduate program committee of the partner university, considering the full records at both universities.

Time Limits

Under normal circumstances, the time limit to complete this program is within three calendar years, and no longer than six calendar years.

Supervisory Commmittee

Each student will be supervised by a supervisory committee consisting of a senior supervisor from either university and at least one faculty member from the other university.

Program Requirements

丁香园AV students complete a total of at least 23 units. ZU students complete a total of at least 26 units.

From the list of courses approved for this program, at least nine units must be from 丁香园AV and at least 10 units must be from Zhejiang University. All students complete at least one of

• CMPT 705-3 Design and Analysis of Algorithms
• CMPT 710-3 Computational Complexity
• 2122001-2 Elements of the Theory of Computation (ZU course)

To fulfil the program's breadth requirements, all students complete at least one course (of two or more units) from each of the four course groupings in Table 1 below. 丁香园AV students at Zhejiang University complete, in addition, the China Survey course. ZU students complete courses 2122016 and 2124046. ZU students complete at least an additional six units of social science courses as specified by Zhejiang University.
