4.Flexible Educational System

Thesis examinations and graduation ceremonies are held at the end of each of the 4 quarters.Students may acquire the required credits in a shorter period by increasing the number of classes they take at once. Many students have completed the Master's Program in one year.

The School has provided an innovative and intensive curriculum with the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and its "Support Program for Improving Graduate School Education" and IT specialist program.

The background knowledge of students studying in this university varies. About half of the students are from fields of science outside computer studies. It is possible for those students to work with specialized subjects after laying the foundations of computer science through our introductory curriculum.

In order to prepare students for presentations in international conferences and paper submissions, courses in English presentations and writing are given by teachers from abroad. A network based online English learning system is available, and TOEIC tests are carried out twice a year without fees to boost practical English language skills.

Past lecture videos can be viewed through the digital library with referring to an index of subject窶冱 names, teachers and the timetable.

We welcome applications from highly motivated individuals seeking a world-class, inter-disciplinary graduate education based on information, biological, or materials sciences. Promising candidates are welcomed regardless of their nationality or their research background during undergraduate studies.
