Description of selection process

1. A Nominating Committee was set up by the China University of Political Science and Law ("CUPL"). The Committee currently consists of Professor Ma Kangmei, Professor Zhang Quilin, Professor Li Shuzhong, Professor Li Xiuyun, Professor Xu Chuanxi and Professor Fang Liufang.
2. Over 2,000 CUPL students graduate each year from the ten different Schools. These students will then have completed four years study at CUPL. The Nominating Committee advertises on the school notice board and webpage for applicants. The requirements for applicants are excellent grades, a very high standard of English, and the students must have previously received CUPL scholarships. The Nominating Committee then asks each Department Head to nominate individuals for the scholarships from those graduating in the following year and a short list of 12 candidates is put forward to the Nominating Committee.
3. The shortlisted candidates are selected on the basis of moral, social and educational standards.
4. The Nominating Committee then sets the shortlisted candidates a specially designed exam which includes a written English test based upon the TOEFL standard. An oral English test is then conducted by a professor from the Foreign Languages Department.
5. The Nominating Committee reduces the shortlist to five to six candidates.
6. Each of the shortlisted candidates is interviewed by the Oxford University Faculty of Law interviewers in late October.
7. Each of the shortlisted candidates produces an application form in English with a recommendation from the Nominating Committee.
8. 8. One of the Trustees interviews each of the shortlisted candidates in Beijing in mid-November. Each candidate is interviewed for 60-75 minutes. A common list of questions is used as a basis upon which each candidate is assessed to ensure as consistent and fair a method of interviewing as possible.
9. 9. The interviewer produces Candidate Evaluation Forms, which represent the interviewer's summarized assessment.
10. The Trustees then make their decision based upon the above process and documentation, subject to their decision being consistent with the results of the interviews with the Oxford University Faculty of Law.
