Time line
All PhD students are required to complete the relevant qualifying examinations by the end of their fourth semester.
Copied from Departement’s email:
Taking your seniors as an example, some of them do take both their CQE and OQE in their fourth semester. There is no issue on this but do kindly note that CQE and OQE exam dates have to be at least a month apart.
WARNING
Failure to complete both CQE and OQE by the end of the fourth semester will lead to stipend suspension in the fifth semester.
Stipend payments will only resume after OQE3 is completed, with no retroactive payment.
Comprehensive Qualifying Examination (QE II / CQE)
Please refer to the following document for detailed procedures and requirements:
SOP for CQE (not to be shared with students from other departments)
Oral Qualifying Examination (QE III / OQE)
