Abstract
This paper aims to explore the changes of supervision model in higher education in relation to fostering creative PhD students in China. The changes are being made from the traditional Apprentice Master Model (AMM) to the modern Collaborative Cohort Model (CCM). According to the results of the empirical work done by questionnaire survey and interviews, this study shows in the background of the Big Science Era and according to theories on systematic view of creativity, the new CCM improves PhD students’ creativity to some extent; however, problems exist in the creativity development mechanisms. So this paper also explores the reasons of why the new mechanism of creativity development failed to play fully.
