1. There should be a total of 2 academic supervisors: 1 academic supervisor and 1 co-supervisor. However, 2 co-supervisors may be chosen at the discretion of the academic supervisor. In principle, students should determine co-supervisors among instructors in charge of research advising in their course, according to the instructions of their academic supervisor.

In some cases, researchers who are playing an active role in off-campus research institutions may be in charge of research advising as visiting professors, in addition to full-time instructors in our university, in order to promote the sophistication, revitalization, and globalization of education and research in our graduate schools.

     ［Graduate School of Science and Engineering］

The co-supervisors in the related departments and outside the university can be added to the above numbers (for details, please confirm with the Kawagoe Campus Office, Administration Section).  For the doctoral program, there will be total of 3 professors, ( 1 supervisor and 2 co-supervisors).  However, by the decision of the  supervisor, the number of sub-supervisors may be three. 

      ［Graduate School of Information Sciences and Arts］

The sub-examiners in the related departments and outside the university can be added to the above numbers (for details, please confirm with the Kawagoe Campus Office, Administration Section). 

2.  Academic supervisors cannot be changed unless there is a compelling reason. 

1. When writing a degree thesis, students are required to receive research advising from their academic supervisors.

2. Students are required to determine their academic supervisors and decide the title of their thesis after consultation with their academic supervisors about the content of their research.

3. When academic supervisors and the title of their thesis are determined, students are required to provide notification of the title of their thesis through the “ToyoNet-G” . For the registration method manual [PDF], Click here. 

4. Students enrolled in the doctoral program are required to write a research proposal outline on a single sheet of A4 paper (free format) and submit to Kawagoe Campus Office Administration Section by email（mlkdaigakuin@toyo.jp）.

1. The Course of Architecture accepts the submission of a master's thesis or research on a specific subject (master's design). Please consult with your academic supervisor before choosing. When submitting a thesis title in the first semester, select either "master's thesis title" or "special research thesis title". When you submit your thesis title in the 3rd semester, you must decide and select one of them. As a general rule, you cannot change this after you have decided on it in the 3rd semester.

2. If you need to change the title of your thesis at a later date, follow the same procedure.
