The Handbook for PhD Students of Network Science is an essential resource that outlines all aspects of the doctoral program. It covers the program’s structure, from the probationary period and first-year coursework to the candidacy phase and dissertation requirements. The handbook provides detailed guidance on academic milestones, including the comprehensive exam, research proposal, and the PhD defense process. Additionally, it offers insights into program administration, faculty involvement, funding rules, and policies on academic integrity.
This handbook should be read alongside the university's Doctoral Regulations, as both are crucial for understanding the full scope of academic and administrative requirements.
