Ritsumeikan University will start the comprehensive selection (AO selection entrance examination) using the AI ​​learning system "atama +" for the first time in Japan from the 2023 entrance examination (admission in April 2023).

 Currently, the number of students studying in curriculums that are not bound by the curriculum guidelines, such as online learning, IB, and studying abroad, is increasing, and the university side is also required to open the door to examinees with various learning histories.

 Ritsumeikan University is premised on the comprehensive basic academic ability of the subjects studied at the high school level, and the most important basic academic ability is not the subject level (example: Mathematics I, Mathematics A, etc.) but the unit level (example: XNUMX) depending on the department. Note that it differs depending on the order function, probability, etc.).While confirming the academic ability of the important unit, I was looking for a way to send it to the examinees as an admission policy and entrance examination plan.

 Therefore, Ritsumeikan University uses "atama +" to comprehensively select the "Undergraduate Designated Unit AI Learning Program (commonly known as UNITE Program)", a program for learning and acquiring units of subjects designated by each faculty (AO selection entrance examination). Introduced as an application requirement.

 The subjects covered by the "UNITE Program" for the 2023 entrance examination are mathematics (mathematics I, mathematics A, mathematics II, mathematics B).Introduced in the Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Sport and Health Science, and Faculty of Food Management, where mathematical background is very important for studying specialized fields, and students can use "atama +" to study and acquire the unit of the subject designated by each faculty. It is one of the application requirements.

 Applying for the program is free and you can study repeatedly during the period.The learning result does not affect the pass or fail of the entrance examination.Furthermore, by incorporating "atama +" into pre-admission education, examinees can effectively and practically acquire basic academic ability and can smoothly adapt to study at the university after admission.

 Students who have graduated or are expected to graduate from high school by March 2023, 3 can take the examination, and the number of applicants will be disclosed in the entrance examination guidelines in late June. From April 31st, a special site for the "UNITE Program" will be opened.

 In the future, Ritsumeikan University will promote the introduction of other entrance examination methods, expansion to other faculties, and subjects other than mathematics.In addition, we aim to establish a new university entrance examination style that emphasizes learning and acquisition of the unit specified for each faculty (patent pending).
