V. Compulsory Part
1．Academic Lectures (1 credits )
Master students must attend at least 20 seminars, academic reports or graduate student forum which are organized by Postgraduate Department and School (Department).
2．Social Practice or Teaching Practice (1 credits )
Social practice is to participate in the social investigation, undertake internal and external research, design, consulting, technology development and services and other activities. Teaching practice is an important part of training postgraduate, undergraduate teaching practice is mainly to carry out teaching, counseling, experiment guidance and the auxiliary guide thesis and project design.

VI. Degree Thesis
Degree thesis is the important part of graduate cultivation. Through the dissertation work, the graduate student should be trained to do scientific research and work independently. The analysis and comprehensive ability, and the ability of finding and solving problems, cultivation of seek truth from facts work style and rigorous practical attitude should be cultured.
1．Topic Selection
Graduate students select the research topics under the guidance of the mentor. On one hand, the topic must consider the research frontier and maneuverability; on the other hand, it should conform to national and provincial funds projects, research projects, etc.
2．Research Proposal
The thesis work should be start as soon as possible under the guidance of the mentor. Finish the research proposal base on the literature researching, investigation and study. The research proposal include the topic significance, literature review, research plan and target, the main theory (technical) problems and proposed solutions. The research proposal should be preached in the range of subjects, and solicit opinions extensively.
3．Thesis Writing
The thesis must be finished by the master himself independently under the guidance of the mentor. The paper has a certain amount of workload, the thesis’s working time after the topic is determined, is generally less than one year. The requirements of reliable information, the theory is correct, clear thinking, the research and the direction of the latest achievements of understanding, to the research of new insights into the research direction, and the new research achievement. Thesis writing must be consistent with the" Beijing Technology and Business University master's degree thesis writing rules". The students should take the outstanding master of Beijing and the school grade as the goal, strive to improve the quality of academic degree thesis.
3．Thesis Oral Defense and Degree Application
