Course requirements

1. Decide which courses you will take referring to the guidance after admission and under the direction of your academic supervisor.

2. You may take a lecture course under the same name multiple times, and earn credits from the course multiple times. All of those credits will be recognized as credits toward completion. However, registrations for courses may be restricted for the purpose of class management.

3. You must select 1 instructor from among those in charge of the “Seminars on Public- Private Partnership” as your academic supervisor. You must take the seminar taught by your academic supervisor every semester in principle. However, this does not apply if your academic supervisor agrees that it is necessary that you take the seminar for the purpose of academic guidance: for example, when you take another lecture course offered in the same period as your academic supervisor’s seminar.

4. You must select 1 or 2 co-supervisors under the advice of your academic supervisor. Co-supervisors must be selected from among Professors, Special Appointed Professors, Associate Professors, and Visiting Professors who teach “Seminars on Public-Private Partnership” or lecture courses during the academic year.

5. You are not allowed to take the “Seminars on Public-Private Partnership" taught by instructors other than your academic supervisor or co-supervisors.

6. You may change your academic supervisor or co-supervisors each semester.

7. In addition to the courses listed in this table, you may take courses given by other graduate schools or courses at Toyo University based on Article 8 of the Academic Rules and Regulations, if your academic supervisors agree it is necessary for educational purposes. (In such cases, each subject can be counted toward the completion requirements only once. The grades and credits earned by taking the same course the second time or more can be approved but will not be counted toward the completion requirements.)

Moreover, credits you earned from the courses taken through the above-mentioned method, together with credits you earned before you were admitted to the graduate school that are treated as credits earned by taking courses given by this graduate school based on Article 10-2 of the Academic Rules and Regulations (already earned credits), may be counted toward the completion requirements up to a maximum of 20 credits.

8. For completion, you are required to write a master’s thesis or the research paper, participate in (interim and final) thesis presentation sessions, and pass an oral examination. For more details on aims, review items, format, number of characters, refer to the table below.

9. Students in other courses are not allowed to take lectures and seminars offered in this course.

10. If you live in a remote area and find it difficult to attend classes directly in the classroom during the class hours, you are able to use the remote system to attend classes in real time from a computer connected to the Internet at home or at work. In principle, all lectures and exercises are covered by the system.  If you wish to use this remote system, please contact the office in charge in advance to obtain permission.

 * 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.
