Graduate schools
At the beginning of 2007 the system comprises 119 graduate schools. Altogether over 4,000 graduate students are working full-time on their doctoral dissertations in graduate schools.
The graduate schools have made postgraduate education more systematic and more efficient. A key objective is to assure the quality of graduate education, shorten the time it takes doctoral students to write their dissertations and thus lower the age at which doctoral candidates defend their dissertations. The aim is to train high-level professional researchers and experts.
Most of the graduate schools are networked projects jointly run by several universities, in which older and younger researchers work in research groups together with graduate students. The goal is that the students write their doctoral dissertations in four years. Students in graduate schools are paid and work full-time on their research.
