In the whole process of the insurance research, the summer camp can be the last sprint, so everyone needs to have a detailed understanding of the basic process of the insurance research summer camp.
1. What is the summer camp for insurance research?
Baoyan summer camp (including summer school) is a kind of colleges and universities in recent years (mainly 985 and 211 colleges and research institutes)A way to snatch high-quality students.. Generally, we spend about a week in the summer vacation, and have long-term contact with students in the form of academic exchanges, lectures, interviews, etc., to comprehensively determine whether students meet the requirements of our school and whether they are suitable for the training mode of our college.
In summer camp, most of us will contact the intentional school and the intentional tutor one after another to seize the opportunity. If we wait until the formal exemption, the result will be full of unknowns, then in fact, the summer camp is particularly important for the students of the insurance research institute.
Second, the application process
1. Access to information
Every year from March to July., enrollment institutions will gradually pass theirOfficial website (and its postgraduate enrollment information website)Release relevant information, or go to some cities where colleges and universities are located to hold presentations, or put up posters in some colleges and universities, and issue recruitment notices for summer camp campers of graduate enrollment units.
Generally speaking, the enrollment units that set up summer camps in the previous year will often continue to set up summer camps in the next year.. Therefore, you can take the notice of the previous year as a reference.
2. Application materials
For summer camps, most enrollment units have similar requirements for application materials. The following are common application materials.The specific content and format requirements will be adjusted according to the characteristics of each unit and the applied discipline:

Third, the camp participation process
The common forms of activities in the summer camp are:
Comprehensive written test and interview:The content is similar to that of ordinary insurance research.
Thesis defense:Summer camps in some colleges and universities have a long time, so students may be divided into groups on the day they enter the camp, and each group is required to complete a professional research, and then report and defend, so as to test students’ teamwork and scientific research ability;
Some summer camps will give some professional topics before entering the camp, requiring students to submit an academic paper written by themselves when applying for entering the camp, and defend the paper during the summer camp, so as to assess students’ ability to carry out scientific research activities independently.
Academic exchange meeting:At present, there are two ways of academic exchange: tutor lecture and discussion with graduate students of the school.
In the tutor’s lecture, the tutor will introduce the development of the enrollment unit and the research direction and frontier trends of their respective research groups;
In the discussion with the graduate students of the school, it is generally the students who participate in the camp who learn from the graduate students about the academic strength of the organizer, the treatment of the graduate students and the level of literacy of the admissions tutor.
Communicate with the tutor:Many tutors will make a simple investigation of students’ basic professional quality, scientific research strength and personal accomplishment in the individual communication session to enhance their understanding, and will also explain their own opinions on research fields, scientific research ideas, the status quo of research groups and their opinions on guiding students’ personal development.
Visits and parties:Summer camp organizers usually organize campers to visit the enrollment colleges and the surrounding environment, so that campers can have a preliminary and comprehensive understanding of the future study and living environment. Some summer camps will hold cultural evenings at the closing ceremony to promote exchanges between campers.
