Required Subjects
There are no required subjects for the Master’s Degree Course, Doctoral Degree Course, and Master-Doctor Integrated Course.
Prerequisite Subjects
  • Master’s Degree course : The new students who entered the Master's Degree course but majored in different disciplines during their undergraduate course should take the undergraduate ‘Data Structure’ course within one year as a principle. However, if the supervising professor and the head professor of the department agree, the prerequisite subjects may be waivered or additional prerequisite subjects can be included.
  • Doctoral Degree course : There are no requirements regarding any prerequisite subjects for the new students who majored in different discipline during their Master's Degree course.
  • Master-Doctor Integrated Course : The same as the Master's Degree course.
General Test
  • Master's Degree course : The subjects of the general test shall be three major subjects within the Master's Degree course.
  • Doctoral Degree course : The subjects of the general test shall be four major subjects among the major subjects of the Doctoral Degree course.
  • Master-Doctor Integrated Course : The subjects of the general test shall be four subjects among the major subjects of the Master-Doctor Integrated Course.
Thesis Supervision, Presentation and Evaluation Supervising Professor
Supervising professor
  • Selection of supervising professors shall be in accordance with the rules enacted by the faculty meeting before the beginning of the semester in which the new student entered the department.
  • For the Master's Degree course, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least one year from the thesis supervising professor (advisor). However, when the supervising professor is changed, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least six months from the thesis supervising professor.
  • As for the Doctoral Degree course, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least two years from the thesis supervision professor till submitting a thesis. However, if the supervising professor (advisor) is changed, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least one year from the new supervising professor.
  • As for the Master-Doctor Integrated Course, the student must receive the thesis supervision for at least three years from the thesis supervision professor till submitting a thesis.
