Selection of Courses
In consultation with the academic coordinator (academic advisor), students select courses to be taken in each semester from the "concentration", "industry", and "supporting elective" courses, and formulate their own course plan.
Each course has a course pathway (recommended course pattern) to ensure that students achieve satisfactory academic results.On the other hand, we have set a cap on the number of credits students can take in a single semester to ensure they can create a study plan that allows for time for independent study.
Master Project
In the “Master Project,” students build upon the knowledge gained from the courses they have taken to independently identify a problem, define a theme, and undertake the project.You must complete one of the four types.
Research Project/Independent Study
The "Research Project/Independent Study" course is designed to allow students to pursue independent research under the guidance of faculty members, outside the framework of the university's course offerings.Research results are summarized in a research report, oral presentations are made, and credits are granted when certain results are recognized. Depending on the type of master project, students may work in combination with this course.
Internship
There is an "internship" system in which companies and organizations related to the content of study at our school provide work experience for a certain period of time. Students are expected to learn how to apply the specialized knowledge and communication skills developed through their coursework at school to the actual, practical applications. Prior application is required for the internships. And credits will be recognized by submitting a participation report and giving an oral presentation at the end.
Academic Support System
Each student is assigned an academic coordinator (academic advisor), who provides support—including academic guidance, course selection counseling, and advice on the Master’s Project—until the student graduates.
During academic advising sessions, academic coordinators provide guidance on selecting courses from the “Major Courses” category—including required courses, major-specific course groups, industry-related course groups, and general elective course groups—based on your future goals and learning objectives.
Through the learning management system, you can consult with academic coordinators on a variety of matters while sharing information.
Course Enrollment Process from Admission to Graduation
In the first semester, students take the required courses “Practical ICT Communication” and “Leadership Theory” to acquire basic skills for written and oral presentations and to practice leadership in group education and guidance. In the second semester, students take the required course “Project Fundamentals Seminar” to prepare for the Master’s Project. While taking these required courses, from the first through the fourth semester, students select and take courses based on their future goals and learning objectives, focusing primarily on courses in their specialized field while also including courses from the industry-related and general elective groups, with reference to the course pathway. While studying these courses, students will work on their Master’s Project during the third and fourth semesters (MP-6 begins in the second semester). Academic coordinators provide advice on course selection (academic counseling). Upon fulfilling the graduation requirements at the end of the fourth semester, students will graduate and be awarded the Master of Information Technology (Professional) degree.
