After listening to the opinions and discussions at the briefing meeting,
The principal concluded:

3.The basic framework adjustments for undergraduate training programs will be finalized in June 2025, reviewed in the first half of July 2025, accepted in mid-July 2025, and approved in the first half of August 2025. The principle of adjustment is that the University respects the professional orientations of the units, but will take into account ensuring interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary connections and alignment with current trends.
