Research Training: Student Research Training Program (SRTP) is a new program carried out by the university to cultivate all-round talents and encourage their enterprising spirits and research abilities. It has several purposes: first, to provide opportunities for undergraduates to learn the latest development in their specialties; second, to cultivate their research and innovative abilities by taking full advantage of the comprehensive and abundant research resources; third, to encourage students to apply theories into practice; and fourth, to nurture teamwork awareness and communicative abilities.

Since 1998, SRTP, an annual activity, has been conducted 8 sessions with 75%-80% of total undergraduates involved. In 2005, there were 1000 applications at the university level and 1239 applications at the school level.
