Admission for Minors on Sustainable Development for Postgraduates Begins
Published：22/05/2015
1. Introduction:
In 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio 20+), UN published The Future We Want, which regarded sustainable development as a common aspiration for humanity and gave a major push to the responsibility and confidence for sustainable development of countries all over the globe. In 2013, the 10th Congress of CPC of Tongji University also set it as an aspiration and strategy for Tongji University’s mid-and-long term development to “build a world-class university guided by sustainable development”.
In order to further promote the idea and practice of sustainable development among postgraduate students, UNEP-Tongji University Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development (IESD), under the support of Graduate School of Tongji University, carries forward with minors on sustainable development. We now officially start admitting students for the 4th session.
There are 10 minors on different aspects of sustainable development for the 2015- 2016 academic year. As this year is still a pilot year, all tuition fees will be exempted.
2. Admission object:
All postgraduate students of Tongji University.
As all lectures are in Chinese, interested international students shall make sure of their Chinese level before applying.
3. Details:
(1) All students can freely choose 1 minor from the 10 different minors available this year. The lecture will begin in the 2nd week of the autumn semester. Within the first 2 weeks, students may change the minor they have chosen;
(2) In order not to overlap with the weekday schedule of majors, lectures of the minors will be given on weekends: Saturday for students in Jiading Campus and Sunday for students in Siping Campus. Each course takes 34 periods or 4 weeks, and all courses will be completed within 1 year;
(3) All students taking minors on sustainable development must finish 4 required core courses and 4 required specialized courses for the chosen minor, a final thesis and oral defense before they acquire Course Completion Certificate for Minor on Sustainable Development of Tongji University;
