15. Dual Degree Program in Graduate School of Pure and Applied Sciences
Dual degree program is structured so that researchers or students in doctoral programs can pursue graduate work in two fields. This program aims to raise highly talented people who have expertise, great erudition, and high adaptability.
That is, students in doctoral program will also belong to master’s program, or professional degree program (except for Graduate School of Business Science, University of Tsukuba Law School) and fulfill the requirement of two degrees.
Now these fields are available for dual degree program:
| Primary Major in Doctoral Program | Secondary Major in Master’s Program |
|---|---|
| Physics | Graduate school of System and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba, Department of Computer Science |
| Nano-Science and Nano-Technology | Graduate school of System and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba, Department of Computer Science |
| Nano-Science and Nano-Technology | Graduate school of Comprehensive Human Sciences Master’s Program in Medical Science |
| Applied Physics | Graduate school of Comprehensive Human Sciences Master’s Program in Medical Science |
| Materials Science | Graduate school of Comprehensive Human Sciences Master’s Program in Medical Science |
Graduate school of System and Information Engineering, University of Tsukuba, Department of Computer Science opened a course in which you can get your degree learning through English since 2011 in cooperation with the dual degree program.
It is not easy to get two degrees at the same time. You need to ask your prospective supervisor for advice before you apply and contemplate. When you apply, get an application document and get a signature of the prospected supervisor to the document. Then submit it to Academic Service Office for the Pure and Applied Sciences Area by the deadline of assessment of eligibility for application.
When you pass the assessment, a written permission to take dual degree program will be given. Submit a copy of the written permission to Graduate Admissions, Division of Educational Promotion, Department of Educational Promotion, along with application documents.
(If you apply for both Doctoral program and Master’s program, attach the copy to each application documents.) By submitting the copy, examination fee for Master’s program will be exempted.
To apply the dual degree program, it is necessary to pass the exam and do the procedure for enrollment. If you apply for both Master’s program and Doctoral program at the same time and you fail to pass the exam of the Doctoral program, it is considered that you also fail to pass the Master’s program.
When you pass the exam, the enrollment fee and tuition fee (during the period of dual degree program) of first semester will be exempted.
