博士学位论文类型：基础研究、应用研究、综合研究。这三种类型都是指什么，有什么区别，谢谢

基础科学研究（基础研究）是指认识自然现象、揭示自然规律，获取新知识、新原理、新方法的研究活动。主要包括：科学家自主创新的自由探索和国家战略任务的定向性基础研究；对基础科学数据、资料和相关信息系统地进行采集、鉴定、分析、综合等科学研究基础性工作。基础学科：数学、物理学、化学、天文、地球科学、生物科学；交叉学科： 工程科学、农业生物学、生物医学、信息科学 、能源科学、资源、环境与灾害科学、材料科学、空间科学、海洋科学；自然科学与人文社会科学交叉学科：心理学与认知科学 、管理科学。
　　应用研究：
　　指为获得新知识而进行的创造性的研究，它主要是针对某一特定的实际目的或目标。基础研究是为了认识现象，获取关于现象和事实的基本原理的知识，而不考虑其直接的应用，应用研究在获得知识的过程中具有特定的应用目的。
　　——具有特定的实际目的或应用目标,具体表现为：为了确定基础研究成果可能的用途，或是为达到预定的目标探索应采取的新方法（原理性）或新途径。
　　——在围绕特定目的或目标进行研究的过程中获取新的知识,为解决实际问题提供科学依据。 　　——研究结果一般只影响科学技术的有限范围，并具有专门的性质，针对具体的领域、问题或情况，其成果形式以科学论文、专著、原理性模型或发明专利为主。一般可以这样说，所谓应用研究，就是将理论发展成为实际运用的形式。
　　综合研究：
　　综合研究是一个合成词汇；有综合和研究组成，在汉语中一般来说综合有三种意义； 　　1.把分析过的对象或现象的各个部分、各个属性联合成一个统一的整体。跟“分析”相对 　　2、不同种类、不同性质的事物组合在一起。如，综合治理、综合平衡、综合大学、综合艺术等。 　　3、作家围绕一个中心意念，加工、改造许多旧材料，使之揉合成一个新的有机的艺术形象的过程。 　　综合研究的一般概念是指在事物的研究过程中以把握整体的概念，全面的考虑各个部分之间的联系作为研究问题的原则。

从大学生自身层面来说，希望能够得到哪些方面的帮助和支持

经济上的帮助还有实践经验的指导。
首先，大学生主要忙于学习，兼职的时间很少。其次，大学学习过程中沿袭着等、靠的思维，对大学的学习重视程度不高，对所学知识或运用能力较差，动手能力不强，最终表现为实践能力的缺失。
但不可否认的是，大学生实践能力的状况的确直接关系着大学培养的学生是否被社会接纳，也关系到大学生将来的创业和生存，因此人才质量的高低，在很大程度上是取决于实践能力的高低。

如何利用好大学的时间：
1、课余参加各类竞赛
大学生程序设计竞赛，电子设计竞赛，机器人竞赛，嵌入式大赛，数学建模大赛，机械设计大赛，挑战杯大赛，创业设计大赛，大学生英语大赛，甚至社会上各种技能，才艺大赛。
2、读专业之外的书籍
书籍是人类进步的阶梯，当你发现自己一无所长，没有特别兴趣的时候，请在大学空闲的时候，离开游戏的吸引，去图书馆或者安静有网络的地方，阅读各类专业之外的图书。只有大学四年是可以无拘无束自由阅读各门类书籍的好时刻。
3、辅修其他专业
如果你大学专业是工科的，建议可以辅修一门经济，管理类的专业如果你在大学空余时间，辅修经济管理类的课程，早期形成一定系统性的经济管理思维是不是对于未来是一种金钱与实时间的节省。
