Joint-training Ph.D. students usually have four years of study. From the day of registration, they should complete their course study and carry out research projects in the first year at Macau University. Then, they transfer to Hangzhou Normal University to continue their study and research, and return to Macau University for graduation defense at the right time.

Two professors are appointed by the University of Macau and Hangzhou Normal University, respectively, as the tutors of joint training for doctoral students. The qualifications of tutors are co-recognized by both universities. The training plan for graduates (including research interests and topic selection of dissertation) is decided by both tutors. During the period of study, students are required to abide by all the regulations of both schools.
