For working people who want to “study at graduate school,” I would like to introduce the Credited Auditors system, which is surprisingly little known.

The Credited Auditors System is a system that allows students to earn regular university credits in order to meet the demands of a diverse range of learners, including working adults.

Many people have the image of “0% or 100%” and think “quit my job and go to graduate school,” but that’s a tough hurdle, isn’t it? If you take one 90-minute class per week, can’t you adjust while keeping your current job?

cost

  • Examination fee 9,800 yen
  • Entrance fee 28,200 yen
  • Tuition fee 14,800 yen per credit

You need to specify the lecture when you apply. Information about the lectures can be found on these websites http://www.ocw.titech.ac.jp/index.php?module=General&action=T0200&GakubuCD=6&GakkaCD=363000&KeiCD=30&tab=2&LeftTab=

Also, as a preliminary step to becoming a credited student, it might be a good idea to read the reference books specified in the syllabus.
