The CSST Summer Program is a 10-week intensive research training and PhD recruitment program. Each student will be enrolled in 12 units of UCLA courses, conduct research under the guidance of a UCLA faculty mentor, and participate in required CSST activities including professional development and networking events. UCLA PhD programs will preview potential PhD applicants’ research performance and begin early recruitment for the next year’s admission cycle.
This summer’s participants will be from 10 universities in China and Japan: Fudan University, Nanjing University, Nankai University, Peking University, Sichuan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, University of Science and Technology of China, Xi’an Jiao Tong University, Zhejiang University, and Waseda University.
The specific goals of the CSST Summer Program are to:
