A student must attend this PhD Program for at least two years, acquire at least 30 units, and pass the master's thesis exam (open to the public) and the final examination.
2. How to take courses
The method to obtain 30 units on this PhD Program is as follows:
1) A student must obtain ten units in compulsory subjects in his/her special field of study and select, obtain up to 10 units in general electives and at least 10 units from the elective subjects open in each special field of study. In addition, the student must acquire at least 10 units by taking special seminars.
2) To add a subject for study, a registration application must be accepted at the beginning of each school year.
3) In selecting subjects, a student must carefully read the syllabus and complete the procedures to sign up for a course after consulting with a guidance counselor or advisory teacher if necessary.
4) A responsible guidance counselor (mainly in charge of research guidance), a guidance counselor (assistant research guidance counselor) and the theme of research will be determined in July in response to the student’s wishes and upon deliberation of the council of professors in the PhD Program. The main guidance counselor will be a professor in charge of the Biomedical Science PhD Program, and the assistant research guidance counselor will be a professor, assistant professor, lecturer or a teacher concurrently serving in a different faculty or department at the Biomedical Science PhD Program. If the student pursues research in a subject at an affiliated institute, one teacher of this school should be included in the guidance staff.
