Starting from 2024, Tokyo University of Science will further expand the number of students eligible for the long-term study system already in place at the Faculty of Science, which is Japan's only night-time faculty, and students who will enroll in the Faculty of Science in their first year. Make it available to everyone.
The long-term course system is for students who, due to their employment or other circumstances (including childcare, nursing care, etc.), wish to systematically complete and graduate the curriculum for a certain period of time beyond the period of study. A system that allows you to acknowledge your request.By utilizing this system, students have the advantage of being able to study for 4 or 5 years for almost the same amount of tuition as it would cost to graduate in 6 years.
Although this system is mainly adopted by many universities in Japan at the graduate school level, it is extremely rare to find a university that has introduced it at the undergraduate level.In addition, the Kagurazaka Campus, to which the Faculty of Science belongs, is easily accessible from Tokyo, making it useful for busy working adults who want to take time out from work to attend university. It can be said.
Previously, only students who entered through the special entrance examination for working adults (an entrance examination system that only targets those who were working adults at the time of admission) were eligible, but with this expansion of eligibility, students who entered through the general entrance examination were eligible. We can also meet the needs of working students, students who have found a job after enrolling, and students who have difficulty graduating within the required period of study due to childcare, nursing care, etc. even if they do not have a job. becomes.
In addition, in order to make it easier for adult students to learn, class hours for the second part have been pushed back from 2023.The start of the 6th period is now 18:10 p.m., so even if you work until 17:30 p.m. in Marunouchi, you can now make it in time.We are also collaborating with a subsidiary affiliated with Tokyo University of Science to create an environment where you can study while working.We have implemented a system (work-study support system) that provides financial support for students to continue their studies by introducing them to daytime employment.Three years have passed since the system was established, and the company plans to improve the system to make it even easier to use.
A student using the long-term study system (Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Department of Physics) said, ``If you have work during the day, the number of courses you can take is limited.Also, if you have urgent work or business trips, , we have no choice but to give priority to that.To be honest, it is difficult for such working students to complete the graduation credits in exactly 4 years.They can have the flexibility of 4 or 5 years at almost the same cost as a 6-year degree. I think this system, which allows you to study on a fixed schedule, is a very useful system for working adults who want to continue their studies.'' ``Currently, we are applying a 5-year course.The biggest advantage of this system is that "The burden of tuition fees, etc. will be substantially reduced. Another benefit is that you can choose subjects systematically and flexibly according to your lifestyle, such as work and family commitments." It is being
Tokyo University of Science's Faculty of Science Department XNUMX is the only Faculty of Science in Japan that operates at night, and has accepted students from a wide range of ages with a variety of goals.By utilizing the long-term course system, it is expected that the environment for continuing learning will be expanded more than ever.
