About entrance exams
Recently, the university entrance examination reform debate, which lasted for nearly 10 years, seems to have concluded that each university will realize the reform plan presented there in individual examinations.Of course, the entrance examination reform has not stopped.However, at this stage, I cannot comment except that individual tests are important.Regarding the diversification of selection methods, for example, in the Faculty of Education where aspiring teachers take the exam, I think it is good to comprehensively evaluate it, including the desire to become a teacher.On the other hand, in science and engineering, for example, so that there is no physicist who cannot do mathematics in general, I would like to consider an entrance examination that guarantees the necessary academic ability by the faculty and measures it.
In addition, there is an opinion within the university that the students of this university should consider the fact that they are quieter than the students of private universities in the metropolitan area, and ask them about their appeal and communication skills in the entrance examination even in science. Communication skills can be trained even after entering university, such as increasing opportunities for presentations at academic conferences.The entrance examination method should be considered from the image of the student who wants to be raised, and I would like to continue to focus not only on the entrance examination but also on educational reform after admission.
Message to examinees
We are aiming for the integration of knowledge and a world-class research university, so I would like people who want to devote themselves to their studies and research.The environment is outstanding.A new station (* 5) with the name of the university will be built, which will be directly connected to Tokyo, and you will be able to experience life in the metropolitan area.
Looking back on my own era of entrance exams, I have various memories, including the ronin era, but I still think that it is important after I enter university.Studying is not the only thing you can do at university.Don't think that taking an examination is your goal so that you can enjoy your college life after entering.
I would like to recommend reading throughout high school and college.Random reading is fine.When I was studying at school, I liked math and physics, but I read only books.But that has helped a lot now.
The graduate school "Advanced Practical Science Circle" that aims to integrate advanced humanities and sciences is XNUMX of "Applied AI", "Social Data Science", "Risk Symbiosis", "International Governance", "Mature Society", "Creation of Human Power", and "Yokohama Urbanist". Two unique research themes will be set up, and students in the liberal arts will be able to study the sciences, and students in the sciences will be able to study the liberal arts.
"Of course, other universities also have" undergraduate programs that transcend the boundaries of organizations such as faculties and graduate schools, "but the scale is large with a grade capacity of 42," said President Umehara.LBEEP (Lawcal Business Economics Education) to study a wide range of economics, management, data analysis, etc. centering on DSEP (Data Science Education Program), which fosters human resources who have acquired economics and management expertise and advanced data processing and statistical analysis even in undergraduate education. The program) will start this spring, and GBEEP (Global Business and Economics Education Program), which develops expertise in both economics and business administration and practical communication skills in English, has been offered for some time.However, "I want to secure my specialty in any case. Otherwise, there is no point in studying at university," said President Umehara.
