To all degree applicants:
The thesis defense for the first half of 2026 will begin shortly. Please note the following updates, especially regarding thesis submission.
I. Check the system regularly
Review results, defense schedules, and outcomes will be updated on the Graduate Integrated Management Information System. Stay tuned.
II. Defense and post-defense revisions
A. Defense schedule
Defenses are tentatively scheduled from mid-April to mid-May (exact dates set by each school).
Before the defense, you must submit:
Statement on the Use of AI Technologies(per university guidelines)
Doctoral Thesis Defense Advisor Approval Form (for doctoral students) – defense permitted only after advisor approval.
Double-anonymized review results must be received before defense.
B. Defense materials
After passing the double-anonymized review, the Degree Office will distribute doctoral defense materials.
C. Defense requirements
Defense must be in person, using a PPT submitted to the defense secretary beforehand.
The thesis must be sent to committee members in advance; review comments serve as key reference.
Doctoral students who received a “warning” in the double-anonymized review must present a revision statement to the committee.
D. Post-defense revisions
If the committee deems revisions necessary (though the thesis passes), you must complete the “post-defense revision” process and submit the Post-Defense Revision Feedback Form.
If the average defense score is below 70, or the committee requires major revisions, the thesis enters a special review process. An unfavorable review will be reported to the Degree Evaluation Subcommittee. For such cases, submit the Post-Defense Major Revision Evaluation Form.
III. Format compliance check
A format compliance check must be completed after the defense and before final submission (timing arranged by the school, generally within one week after defense).
The check is an important part of formal review. The passing standard is an error rate below 0.03%. Theses failing the check will be scrutinized by the Subcommittee.
IV. Degree Evaluation Subcommittee
Doctoral theses with any of the following must be accompanied by a detailed revision explanation to the Subcommittee:
Quality warning in double-anonymized review
Non-unanimous defense vote
Post-defense major revision
Second review by the Subcommittee
Theses that fail the post-defense major revision review will be reviewed separately by the Subcommittee.
V. Submission of final thesis
A. Printing and binding
Print and bind only after advisor approval.
B. Submission
Paper copy:Submit within one week after defense (or after post-defense revision review) to your school. Doctoral students: 3 copies. Ensure cover color, formatting, and signatures (advisor and student) comply with the Thesis Writing Guidelines. Non-compliant theses will not be accepted.
Electronic copy: Upload to the Graduate Integrated Management Information System. Upload function opens in May. Click “Modify” to upload. Deadline: May 30.
Format: PDF (full text, no anonymity, no color cover from printed version). Naming: StudentID_Name_Final (e.g., DE20220000001_William Grey_Final).
C. Archiving and random inspection
After degree conferral, the final electronic version will be submitted to the national platform and the library, and will be subject to MOE random inspections.
Ensure the uploaded file is the final, complete, correctly signed version—no errors, missing content, display issues, watermarks, encryption, etc. When registering degree information, the thesis title must exactly match the one on the uploaded final cover.
Please verify all materials to ensure fair review.
VI. Final similarity check
A final similarity check will be conducted in early June. Wrong file upload may cause failure.
Standards and consequences are detailed in Articles 9 and 10 of the university’s rules on academic misconduct detection.
VII. Key disciplinary review
Doctoral theses in Applied Economics that fall into any of the following categories will undergo a key review by the Economics Faculty Quality Supervision Panel in mid-June:
Quality warning in double-anonymized review
Non-unanimous defense vote
Major revisions after defense
Previous degree-withheld cases
Second review by the Subcommittee
If the panel recommends major revisions, degree conferral may be deferred by the University Degree Committee.
各学位申请人：
2026年上半年研究生答辩即将启动，学位论文交存出现新变化，现就有关事项通知如下：
一、系统查阅
论文评阅结果、学院答辩安排和答辩结果会随时在“研究生综合管理信息系统”更新，请随时关注通知并及时查看。
二、答辩及论文修改
（一）答辩安排
2026年上半年答辩时间大致安排在4月中下旬至5月中旬，具体日期由学院安排。
答辩前，学位申请人应根据《对外经济贸易大学在学位论文和毕业论文（设计）中规范使用人工智能技术的指导意见（试行）》提交《人工智能技术使用声明》。学位申请人还应提交《博士学位论文答辩导师意见书》，学位论文经导师审查同意后，方能参加答辩。此外，双盲送审的学位申请人应等待评阅结果，通过后才能参加答辩。
（二）答辩材料
双盲结果通过后，研究生院学位办组织发放博士答辩材料。
（三）答辩要求
答辩人应到现场答辩，使用PPT，完整介绍学位论文基本情况，制作好的PPT应在答辩前提交给答辩秘书。
学位论文在答辩前送答辩委员会组成人员审阅，评阅意见是答辩评议的重要参考材料。
在双盲评审中被预警的博士生，应在答辩现场向答辩委员会陈述学位论文修改情况。
（四）答辩后学位论文修改
答辩委员会认为学位论文虽能通过答辩，但在学位审议前应做必要修改的，答辩人应完成“学位论文答辩后修改”环节。填写《研究生学位论文答辩后修改反馈情况表》。
答辩虽通过但答辩平均成绩不足70分的，或答辩委员会认为论文应做重大修改的，进入答辩后修改鉴定程序。对于鉴定不合格的论文，将在学位评定分委员会上通报审查。
进入答辩后修改鉴定程序的学位申请人，应填写《研究生学位论文答辩后修改鉴定表》。
三、格式规范性检测
学位申请人在答辩结束后、提交学位论文定稿之前，应完成学位论文格式规范性检测，具体检测时间由学院安排，一般在答辩完成后一周内完成。
检测结果将作为学位论文形式审查重要依据，请认真对待检测结果，确保论文写作规范性。学位论文格式规范性检测以差错率低于万分之三为合格标准，对于最终检测不合格的学位论文，学院学位评定分委员会将重点审查。
四、学位评定分委员会
对于“双盲评审受到质量预警”“答辩非全票通过”“答辩后修改鉴定”““分委员会二次审议”情况的博士论文，学位申请人应向学院学位评定分委员会提交详细修改说明。
对于答辩后修改鉴定不合格的论文，学位评定分委员会将单独审议。
五、学位论文定稿提交
（一）论文打印装订
学位论文经导师同意定稿后，可以进行打印与装订。
（二）论文提交
纸质版定稿：答辩结束或答辩修改鉴定后一周内，研究生应将学位论文定稿纸质版提交至所在学院，博士一式3份。提交时应保证论文封皮颜色、内容格式符合《研究生学位论文写作规范》，导师和学生本人签字情况完备，不合格的论文不予接收。
电子版定稿：应上传至“研究生综合管理信息系统”。定稿上传功能将于5月开放。点击“修改”按钮后才可上传。定稿截止上传时间为5月31日。
电子版定稿提交PDF文档，全文，无须匿名，封面请勿使用打印版彩页。上传论文应以“学号_姓名_定稿”命名，如“20220000001_张三_定稿”。
（三）学位论文交存和抽检
学位授予后，电子版定稿将按照上级要求，上报全国博士硕士学位论文（实践成果）管理平台、交存有关图书馆，并直接接受教育部学位论文抽检。
学位申请人应确保电子版定稿为学位论文最终版，论文内容和签名信息完整无误，不得出现上传文本错误、内容不完整、图表不显示、论文乱码、扫描变形、无关水印或标记、擅自加密等问题，并在学位信息采集时务必确保填报论文题目与上传的定稿封面题目完全一致。
请认真核对并规范提交个人学位论文的全部材料，确保信息真实准确，以保障论文得到客观公正的评审。
六、相似性终检
6月上旬，学校将对学位论文定稿集中进行相似性终检，若提交文本错误，可能导致检测不通过。
相似性终检为答辩后检测，合格标准及不合格处理详见《对外经济贸易大学学位论文学术不端行为检测及处理办法》第九条、第十条。
七、重点学科论文审议
对于“双盲评审受到质量预警”“答辩时非全票通过”“答辩后重大修改”“往届双证分离”“分委员会二次审议”五种情况的应用经济学学科博士学位论文，经济学部论文质量督导专家组将于6月中上旬进行重点审议。专家组认为需做重大修改的论文，将提请校学位评定委员会决定是否暂缓学位授予。
