Doctoral thesis guidance content
The field of study is basically the fusion of transdisciplinary social sciences and data sciences, and we are looking for people who want to consider interdisciplinary research themes. In particular, the ultimate goal is to master core model building and unique perspectives. In terms of instruction, the focus is on thoroughly refining hypotheses and model building, and in order to be able to theoretically structure one's awareness of problems, students will learn how to collect, analyze, and analyze empirical data to test and verify the problem, while studying previous and related research, and by actually carrying out the process of verifying the data, they will master how to refine and quantitatively prove it. In addition, in order to refine the thinking and analysis process leading up to the doctoral thesis, students will make multiple presentations at academic conferences and submit papers, and through this process, they will not only understand but also learn how to use related disciplines. Through this kind of OJT, students will acquire the ability to withstand public hearings and writing doctoral thesis, and aim to obtain a doctoral degree.
