2 The selected cross-disciplinary courses should not be the same as or similar to the courses taken during the periods as master candidates.

3．Seminars
Seminars are of importance for cultivating the comprehensive ability and leading the candidates into the advanced research fields. Within the professional fields specified by the supervisor, the doctoral candidates should participate in the special research reports given by others or take classes. The candidates should then review the most recent research papers according to the special report or the content of the course, and compose a research report and give the report in public seminars.
