The doctoral students have the opportunity to benefit from the high-quality teaching and research resources of partner universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Doctoral students have participated in academic forums, course studies, and professional experiments at partner universities, joined research groups and laboratories, taken both specialized and university-level courses, attended academic reports, and made related presentations.
