Everyone knows that it's not easy to get a PhD, indeed!
For many years, the number of doctoral students enrolled was strictly controlled, and there were only more than 300 universities with the right to confer doctoral degrees.
Secondly, if you want to graduate successfully, you must go through at least 3-5 years of rigorous scientific research training, and you must make new achievements in a certain field in order to successfully pass the graduation defense.
Therefore, there are millions of students who are admitted to graduate school every year, and there are hundreds of thousands of students who can persist in studying for a doctorate every year.
Recently, Nanjing University issued a notice: a 48-year-old doctoral student was withdrawn from school! He will be a graduate of NTU!
It is worth noting that the age of this doctoral student has reached 48 years old, which is much older than the average doctoral student.
Generally, the age of ordinary college students to study for a doctorate is 27-30 years old, if they exceed this age and cannot successfully graduate, they will basically have no chance with academics in this life, because the national natural science **youth** limit age is 35 years old, and you can't get a young **, there is almost no hope to apply for "excellent youth" or "outstanding youth", you can only apply for general projects, which is more difficult.
According to statistics, the average age of doctoral students at Peking University is 249 years old, even lower than the average age of master's students, it can be seen that most of the students studying for a doctorate at Peking University have good scientific research potential.
So, let's take a look back at the 48-year-old doctoral student of NTU, who was admitted as a doctoral student in 2015 by the law major of Nan** College, and it has been 9 years since then, which is obviously far longer than the general 3-5 years of study.
The graduation time of China's Juris Doctor is generally 4-5 years, which varies from university to university, and C9 universities such as NTU generally require the publication of ** several articles in Chinese core journals, or the publication of special papers, which can be successfully graduated.
Generally speaking, students over the age of 40 who are still studying for a doctorate can basically be divided into three categories:
First, I work in colleges and universities, especially many middle-aged teachers in higher vocational colleges, who need to study for a doctorate, because their universities need to increase the proportion of doctoral degree teachers in order to facilitate future upgrading or vocational undergraduate education.
Second, the ** who works in the institution, based on career considerations, decided to study for a doctorate in a prestigious university.
Third, scholars who pursue academics are real scholars, and although they do not have a doctorate, they are indeed sincere in their academic pursuits, and they are true seekers.
The doctoral student in the article may be the first or second case, because Nanjing University has contacted him many times, but there has been no response, and finally Nanjing University made this decision.
It should be said that it is a pity that the doctoral students who were admitted to NTU did not graduate successfullyHowever, he did not successfully graduate from NTU for 9 years of doctoral studies, which shows that the academic results he has achieved still cannot meet the graduation requirements, and it is reasonable for NTU to deal with it in this way.
