关于研究生项目

1

GTIIT和Technion的研究生项目之间有何区别？

如果要在GTIIT申请研究生，需要先联系研究创新与研究生办公室（RIGS Office），并在其帮助下找到相应的导师，同时广以的导师会在以色列理工学院的海法校区找到一名合作导师。你的大部分研究工作将在汕头广以校园进行。此外，你将有机会前往位于海法的以色列理工学院学习和开展研究。硕士研究生和博士研究生分别将在海法的以色列理工学院完成一个学期和两个学期的学习。毕业后由以色列理工学院授予学位。

如果想在以色列理工学院申请研究生课程，则应直接与以色列理工学院研究生院联系，你的导师将是以色列理工学院的教职人员，并且研究工作将在以色列理工学院进行。

2

本科生可以直接申请博士学位吗？

这种申请在以色列理工学院非常罕见（每年少于两个申请者），而且大多数院系不会接收此类申请。根据以色列理工学院提供的信息，与正常申请硕士、博士学位或硕转博项目相比，这方面申请的成功率相对较低。

建议拥有学士学位的申请者先以硕士研究生的身份开始研究生学习，大约一年后，如果其在学习和研究工作上都表现出色，那么有机会可以直接转为博士研究生。

3

导师&合作导师

广以的研究生将拥有两名导师。主导师来自广以，负责在整个研究生学习期间为学生提供支持和指导。合作导师来自以色列理工学院，在以色列理工学院时，负责向学生提供学术支持，并在需要时协助主导师。

在学生被录取之前，两位导师将共同制定其学习计划。

4

如果我在官方网站上没有找感兴趣的在招项目怎么办？

请联系RIGS Office，我们会协助你找到合适的导师。

5

本科生应该什么时候开始申请研究生？

建议读完大三课程后可以着手准备相关的申请材料，学生可以先提交最新的官方成绩单申请研究生，一旦被录取，将被要求在入学前提交正式的成绩单和学士学位证书的复印本。

关于住宿&科研设备

1

GTIIT研究生宿舍

当研究生在汕头的广以校区时，学校将为研究生提供宿舍。对于以色列理工学院的住宿，学生应提前向以色列理工学院的研究生院提交宿舍申请表，当学生前往海法校区时以色列理工学院将为其提供宿舍。

2

科研设备

广以正在不断采购各种先进的实验设备，例如，今年将安装先进的扫描电镜、透射电镜和聚焦离子束。我们正在不断完善实验室环境，以保障研究生的科研活动。

关于申请材料

1

GPA要求

硕士：以色列理工学院研究生院的平均绩点不低于75分，各院系有权在最低要求之上提出更高的要求（大多数院系要求平均绩点不低于83分）。

博士：以色列理工学院研究生院的平均绩点不低于80分，各院系有权在最低要求之上提出更高的要求（大多数院系要求平均绩点不低于85分）。

通常情况下，只有在GPA达到要求的情况下，我们才会接受申请，但如果GPA接近要求并且学生具有一些出色的研究经验/成果，各院系将会综合考虑是否接受。

2

GRE要求

以色列理工学院的学生所享有的权利都适用于广以学生。因此，以色列理工学院和广以的学生申请我校研究生项目无需提供GRE分数。

来自其他大学的硕士学位申请者在申请化学或物理专业时需要提交GRE成绩。

来自其他大学的博士学位申请者，如果可以提供四封推荐信，则大多数院系将不要求GRE成绩：其中一封来自以色列理工学院未来合作导师的推荐信，一封硕士论文导师的推荐信，以及两封在硕士课程期间相关老师的推荐信。如果申请者有GRE成绩，则只需提供两封推荐信（其中一封来自硕士论文导师）。

我校对GRE的要求为：数学部分成绩不低于80%，分析性写作部分不低于3.0。

3

托福和雅思要求

我校对于托福和雅思没有强制性要求，如果有相关成绩可以作为证明英语能力的辅助材料。

4

除GPA外，还需要提供其他哪些申请材料，例如社会实践？

相比社会实践活动，我们更加关注申请者的学术成就，若有相关的研究经验/成果，可以作为辅助材料提供参考。

5

英文翻译文件

不接受任何个人翻译文件，所有文件必须出自学校官方认证的成绩单，若学校不能提供相关文件，需要找正规的翻译公司翻译相关文件。

6

推荐信的要求

申请化学工程硕士学位要求提供两封推荐信，申请材料科学与工程硕士学位要求提供一封推荐信。通常建议所有申请人提交两封推荐信。

申请博士学位需要提供两封推荐信，若申请人想申请GRE豁免，则需要再提交两封推荐信。

推荐信必须有推荐人工作单位的正式抬头和其亲笔签名。

GTIIT held a GTIIT Graduate Studies Program Online Info Session in the live broadcast room of Bilibili (a popular video website in China) of GTIIT Admissions Office recently. In this Online Info Session, we invited the Dean and the Deputy Dean of Graduate Studies, representative faculty members of our various programs, and members of the Research, Innovation and Graduate Studies (RIGS) Office to introduce the graduate studies programs of GTIIT in detail. We also presented our research directions, as well as specific application requirements and steps, with on-site question answering in live.

Students who have missed the live broadcast could scan the following QR code to watch our wonderful live broadcast review:

On the day of the live broadcast, the response was enthusiastic. While following actively online, the students also raised many questions that deserve attention. For some questions that our potential graduate students are interested in and the key information points mentioned in the live broadcast, we have compiled a list of questions and answers for students for a quick review. The details are as follows:

Graduate Studies Programs

1

The difference between graduate studies program at GTIIT and Technion?

If you would like to apply for a graduate studies program at GTIIT, you need to approach GTIIT Research, Innovation and Graduate Office (RIGS Office) first, and with its help find an advisor in GTIIT. He will find a co-advisor from the Technion campus in Haifa. The majority of your research work will be carried out at the GTIIT campus in Shantou. In addition, you will have the opportunity to attend graduate classes and use the research facilities at the Technion campus in Haifa. This generally involves one semester in Haifa for a Master’s degree and two semesters for a PhD degree. The degree will be awarded by the Technion, Israel.

If you would like to apply for a graduate studies program at Technion, you should contact Technion Graduate School directly, your advisor will be a Technion faculty member and your research work will be carried out at the Technion.

2

Can undergraduate students directly apply for PhD program?

The special direct track is extremely rare at the Technion (less than two candidates per year), and most departments will not admit students to this track. According to the information from Technion, the success rate of this track is relatively low, as compared to the regular track or the direct track.

It is strongly recommended for a candidate with a BSc degree to start graduate studies as a master student first, and after approximately one year, if the student excels both in studies and research work, he/she may be transferred to the status of a PhD candidate (direct track).

3

Advisor & Co-advisor

Graduate student in GTIIT will have two advisors. The principal advisor who is responsible for providing support and guidance to the student during the whole graduate studies, is from GTIIT. The co-advisor is from Technion and he is responsible for providing academic support to the student studying at the Technion and for assisting the main advisor if needed.

Two advisors will work together to make a study proposal before the student is accepted for admission.

4

What if I don't find any interested research position appear on the official website?

Please contact RIGS Office and we may connect you with the appropriate advisor.

5

When shall undergraduate students start to apply for graduate studies program at GTIIT?

It is suggested to prepare related application material after completing the junior year (3rd year). Students may apply for graduate studies programs by submitting their up-to-date official transcript first. If they are accepted, they will be required to submit an official final transcript and a copy of bachelor diploma before the admission date.

Dormitory and Facilities

1

Dormitories for graduate students at GTIIT

GTIIT will provide dormitories for graduate students when they stay at the GTIIT campus in Shantou. Regarding the dormitories at the Technion, students shall submit the dormitory application form to the Technion Graduate School in advance, and Technion will provide dormitories for our students when they stay at the Technion campus in Haifa.

2

Scientific Research Equipment

We are continuously purchasing various advanced experimental equipment, both in individual labs and in institutional facilities. As an example, advanced models of SEM, TEM and FIB (Focused ion beam) will be installed this year. We are constantly improving our laboratory environment to support research activities of our graduate students.

Requirements for application material

1

GPA requirements

Master: Technion Graduate school requires the average GPA not less than 75. Each department has the right to determine requirements that are greater than the minimum requirements (most departments require a GPA of at least 83).

PhD: Technion Graduate school requires the average GPA not less than 80. Each department has the right to determine requirements that are greater than the minimum requirements (most departments require a GPA of at least 85).

Generally, we will only accept the application if the GPA meets the requirement, but if the GPA is close to the entry requirement and the student has some excellent research experience/achievements, the department may consider accepting him/her.

2

GRE requirements

All rules (obligations and rights) of Technion apply to GTIIT students, including GRE requirements. Therefore, GTIIT students do not need to provide GRE scores.

For MSc applicants, students from other universities still need to submit a GRE score when they apply for a master's degree in Chemistry or Physics.

For PhD applicants, most departments will not require a GRE score if the applicants can provide four recommendation letters: one recommendation letter from the Technion future advisor, one recommendation letter from the Master's degree thesis advisor, and two recommendation letters from advisors during the master program. If they have a GRE score, they only need to provide two recommendation letters (one of them from the Master's degree thesis advisor).

We require a minimum of 80% in the quantitative part and 3.0 in the analytical part.
