IV. Re-examination Assessment Methods The doctoral re-examination employs a "differential re-examination" [2] format. The assessment primarily includes an investigation of the candidate's academic level, an evaluation of ideological and political quality and moral character, and a physical examination.

  1. Investigation of Academic Level The re-examination will be conducted via interview. Based primarily on professional training requirements, the re-examination panel will examine the candidates' ability to comprehensively apply their knowledge and their mastery of frontier knowledge and the latest research trends in the discipline. Referencing the candidates’ application materials, the panel will evaluate whether they possess the potential and comprehensive quality for doctoral cultivation.

  2. Ideological, Political, and Moral Assessment The assessment primarily covers the candidate's political attitude, ideological expression, learning (and working) attitude, moral character, and observance of law and discipline. This assessment is not quantified into the total score; however, those whose assessment result is "unqualified" will not be admitted. The political inquiry [3] will be conducted concurrently with the re-examination period.

  3. Physical Examination The physical examination will be conducted at hospitals designated by the University and must be completed by May 15. Individual candidates requiring further review—particularly those from outside Beijing—should complete their follow-up examinations in a timely manner.

V. Grading and Calculation of Re-examination Results

  1. The total re-examination score is 200 points, with 120 points as the passing grade. Candidates who fail to achieve the passing grade will not be admitted.
  2. The re-examination includes an interview on professional competence (150 points) and a comprehensive foreign language ability test (50 points).
