Course curriculum and timetable
Credits and other completion requirements
Earn 30 credits or more from courses recognized as completion requirements.
Students are required to, in each semester, take a “Research Guidance” provided by their main academic supervisor.
Course requirements
Students must determine which courses to take according to the instructions from their supervisors.
A total of 2 supervisors must be chosen: 1 academic supervisor and 1 co-supervisor. However, 2 co-supervisors may be chosen at the discretion of the academic supervisor. Students are allowed to take up to 3 “Research Guidance” (1 offered by their main academic supervisor and 2 offered by their co-supervisors) and to earn grades in each semester.
Students can include up to 8 credits of “seminar” courses taught by their main academic supervisor as completion requirements.
As for “seminars” or “lectures”, students can earn credits only once during their enrollment in their Course.
In addition to the courses listed in the above table, students are allowed to take courses offered by other graduate schools and courses of our university and by other universities (partner universities) on Article 8 of the Graduate School Academic Rules and Regulations, when their academic supervisors consider this necessary for education and research purposes. (In such cases, each subject can be counted toward the completion requirements only once. The grades and credits earned by taking the same subject a second time or more can be approved but will not be counted toward the completion requirements.)
Moreover, the credits earned from subjects taken through the above-mentioned method, together with credits students earned before the admission to the graduate school treated as credits earned at this graduate school based on Article 10-2 of the Graduate School Academic Rules and Regulations (already earned credits), can be counted toward the completion requirements up to a maximum of 20 credits.
Students who do not belong to the Graduate School of Business Administration are not allowed to take any “seminars” with “Research Guidance” simultaneously offered.
Regarding the submission of master’s thesis, refer to “Notes on Master’s Thesis Writing【PDF】.”
* In this Course, we encourage participation and presentation in overseas surveys, researches and academic conferences as part of research advising in order to deepen students’ own researches.
