2 Introduction to the Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability

2.1 Goals and Significance of the Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human

Survivability

We are a part of a global society that is currently facing many complex and multidimensional

problems. These are various global-scale issues related to large and complex systems such as cultures,

industries, economics, and nations, and a sustainable and emergent social system is essential to resolve

such issues. In addition, there is a strong need for individuals who can demonstrate leadership in the

establishment of this new social system and have ability to create something new from scratch and

implement and maintain it.

In response to such social needs, the Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human

Survivability (commonly known as Shishu-Kan) was newly established with the mission to cultivate

individuals who may become leaders in the future. Here, students learn about human survivability

studies, an academic discipline that widely studies thoughts, policies, and methods for overcoming

complex social issues.

Global leaders from a range of fields who play key roles in the survival of human society and future

development are required to have diverse values, broader perspectives and knowledge, firm beliefs, high

aspirations, and flexible ways of thinking based on them. At Shishu-Kan, in order to cultivate such

qualities for leaders, students will acquire not only specialized knowledge, but also comprehensive

ability to integrate the humanities and sciences, the ability to see the bigger picture, and the ability to

research and implement methods to resolve complex social issues. By producing such individuals,

Shishu-Kan strives to realize Kyoto University’s mission to “educate outstanding and humane

individuals who will contribute responsibly to the world’s human and ecological community.”

2.2 Educational Policy

At Shishu-Kan, we aim to train individuals equipped with highly professional abilities that enable

them to find solutions to the problems related to human survivability studies, not in an academic setting,

but in accordance with real world situations facing those problems, and to appropriately judge and act

on them.

In order to achieve this goal, students will acquire the ability to see the bigger picture regarding diverse

fields of subjects by accumulating a wide range of specialized knowledge in the humanities and sciences

based on academic knowledge they have gained as undergraduate student. In addition, students will

develop their basic research skills under the guidance and advice of multiple faculty members. Students

will also acquire empirical knowledge from social practices conducted in Japan and abroad through

modeling.

Moreover, we will cultivate individuals who may become future global leaders in such a way that

8

students not only resolve actual problems but also understand the nature of the current problems facing

mankind, social systems, and global society; determine the issues on their own; and implement solutions

based on unified perspectives and human and social skills related to human survivability studies.

2.3 Diploma Policy

1) In principle, a Doctor of Philosophy degree will be awarded to students who have enrolled in and

studied at Shishu-Kan for the prescribed number of years or more, acquired separately prescribed

“credits required for completion,” received research guidance, satisfied the standards required of

doctoral dissertations (that the person applying for a doctoral degree has a strong sense of mission,

insight, planning ability, and human skills, as well as a sense of ethics and responsibility appropriate

for fulfillment of public missions in a global society, that he/she has the ability to promote research

plans, the ability to logically explain research results, a wide range of highly specialized knowledge

in relevant fields, and high ethical standards in academic research, and that his/her doctoral

dissertation possesses academic significance, novelty, innovation, originality, and application value),

successfully gained approval for their doctoral dissertation, completed examinations, and acquired the

following abilities.

・To have acquired abilities to autonomously perform pioneering and unique academic research from a

comprehensive global perspective while having high ethical standards and to produce academic results

that possess novelty, originality, and application value by utilizing excellent capabilities to plan and

promote research, in order to resolve various complex issues related to the survival of humankind and

sustainability of the global society.

・To have acquired abilities to deeply understand various related issues on a global scale in

contemporary society (where people have various different values) from a multifaceted viewpoint and to

consider, assess, and propose feasible means and methods leading to the resolution of such issues to the

international community by utilizing specialized knowledge in academic disciplines across the

humanities and sciences.

・ To be able to demonstrate both the practical and logical thinking abilities required to play advanced

and leading roles, have a strong sense of ethical responsibility appropriate for the fulfillment of public

duties, and take the initiative in a wider variety of fields in global society, with the aim of creating

diverse values, systems, and innovations in society.

2) In cases in which there are special circumstances, a Master of Philosophy degree may be awarded to

students who have completed 2 years or more of study, acquired prescribed credits, received necessary

research guidance, and then successfully gained approval for their master’s thesis and successfully

completed examinations.

2.4 Criteria for the Awarding of Degrees

The comprehensive academic discipline of human survivability studies widely treats thoughts,

policies, and methods for overcoming complex social issues, in which complex social issues are

9

identified, analyzed, formulated, and structured by connecting, restructuring, and then utilizing

“knowledge” across various related disciplines. Following this, the results of such activities are made

available to the public through the social implementation for the goal of achieving “the survival of

mankind and global society.”

Based on the above, doctoral degree applicants and their doctoral dissertations shall meet the

following conditions in the evaluation of the doctoral dissertations at Shishu-Kan.

1) Applicants shall have a strong sense of mission, insight, planning ability, and human skills, as well as

a sense of ethics and responsibility appropriate for fulfillment of public missions in a global society.

Applicants shall also have the ability to promote research plans, the ability to logically explain research

results, a wide range of highly specialized knowledge in relevant fields, and high ethical standards in

academic research.

2) The doctoral dissertations to be submitted shall possess academic significance, novelty, innovation,

originality, and application value.

2.5 Curriculum Policy

At Shishu-Kan, students are expected to develop a high level of ethical responsibility, the ability to

conduct independent research, and the ability to see things to completion. As such, all students shall set

their own solution-focused research issues and self-tailor their own curriculums. A Qualifying

Examination is administered midway through the five-year doctoral program to ensure that they have

achieved the expected level.

The system of these curricula shall be indicated in the course tree and the method of its evaluation

shall be specified in the syllabus.

・The core of the curriculum involves students conducting individually determined doctoral

dissertation research under guidance (mainly on human survivability studies) by multiple faculty

members. Evaluations shall be strictly and fairly conducted through the Qualifying Examination and

the Final Examination (the evaluation of dissertation), which include the evaluation of the status of

accreditation of a prescribed number of credits, confirmation of English proficiency, and the

examination of theses.

・Students will study 8 fields across the humanities and sciences (“Medical and Life Sciences,”

“Informatics and Environmental Studies,” “Science and Technology,” “Humanities and Philosophy,”

“Economics and Management,” “Law and Political Science,” “Languages,” and “Arts”) in order to

acquire abilities to deeply understand current social issues, utilize specialized knowledge in wider

areas, and propose solutions. Credits shall be awarded for courses taken.

・Students will have a dialogue with leaders in each field, conduct social contribution activities,

strive to gain the ability to learn how they should present broad perspectives and solutions that may

not be limited to any single research field at the composite research group (for flexibly conducting

diverse education and research through unrestricted ties between students and the faculty), and

engage in activities that can lead to practical implementation of research results by following such

10

curricula as Overseas Internship (whose goal is to help students to understand where they are from

global perspectives as they engage in international practical activities and develop awareness, a

sense of responsibility, and the ability to make breakthroughs as international leaders in an integrated

manner) and project-based research (“PBR,” where students plan a project for implementing their

research in a social context and conduct it by involving parties concerned from other institutions as a

culmination of practical education that utilizes required research and coursework), in order to

acquire abilities to realize practical implementation and play a leading role in a wide range of fields.

In particular, students shall place importance on activities conducted in English or overseas activities

so that they can play active roles in global society. As for such activities, evaluations shall be

conducted such that a student shall submit plan and research results and make a presentation, and

credits shall be awarded accordingly.

2.6 Our Basic Stance on Curriculum Formulation

In its curriculum formulation, Shishu-Kan provides specialized core courses organically combining

topics such as theory of civilization, theory of legal culture, science and technology, the environment,

resources and energy, economics and management, and ethics, information science-related courses in

which students can learn methods for resolving complex social issues, other specialized courses that can

promote the development of abilities related to analysis and evaluation, and graduate-level general

foundation courses in which students can acquire the ability to see big picture and related abilities. This

promotes the cultivation of individuals who possess strong willpower and the ability to think flexibly

and logically, and who can take the initiative in resolving global-scale issues related to the survival of

mankind and global society as well as various issues related to the survival of life, environment, society,

industry, nation, and civilization in the future. Moreover, we provide opportunities for special research

and research in human survivability studies, including service learning, Overseas Internship and PBR

(which can open up the path to the practical application and social implementation) while bearing in

mind the setting of issues related to the human survivability studies in accordance with students’

intention and will also provide industry-government cooperation courses that can enhance students’

socialization and deepen understanding toward research of social issues.

2.7 Characteristics of the Curriculum

Characteristic 1: A tailor-made curriculum

Each student has a different academic background and basic specialized research field, and also the

level of expertise in special research themes differs among students. Accordingly, at Shishu-Kan, each

student will tailor his/her curriculum according to his/her own requirements. Students will

systematically consider the study plan and courses to be taken during their 5-year study while receiving

advice from multiple experienced professors. Necessary consideration shall be given to students so that

they can take specialized courses provided by other graduate schools.

In order for students to acquire a broad scholastic perspective required for human survivability

studies, “hasshi” (“eight thoughts”) general foundation courses that cover a wide spectrum of subjects in

11

the humanities, sociology, and natural sciences are offered. To this end, faculty members from across the

university are invited to teach such courses.

Characteristic 2: Educational curriculum focusing on dialogue and debate through the use of

training facilities

Shishu-Kan provides opportunities for debate between faculty members and students as well as

among students, regarding specialized issues and solutions to diverse issues set for students. Above all,

Shishu-Kan runs the “jukugi” (“deliberation”) industry-government cooperation course to cultivate

diverse perspectives and practical skills such as through debates with faculty members as well as

external lecturers (specially appointed faculty members) from the industry and the government. In order

to do so, in addition to lecture rooms and individual research spaces, Shishu-Kan offers its students the

accommodation-type training facilities of a residential college.

Characteristic 3: Multiple academic supervisor system (multifaceted guidance and support by

advisers from GSAIS, co-advisers from other graduate schools and research institutes at Kyoto

University, and faculty members from outside the university)

At Shishu-Kan, we offer tailor-made curriculums that meet the diverse needs of students from

different academic backgrounds and with different future aspirations, as well as a multiple supervisor

system that fulfills students’ academic desires.

To ensure that students gain basic abilities in various research fields, GSAIS faculty members serve

as senior academic supervisors to provide research guidance with assistance from co-advisers and other

faculty members from across Kyoto University. This multiple academic supervisor system supports

students’ education and research.

2.8 Admissions policy

At Shishu-Kan, we aim to train individuals equipped with highly professional abilities that enable them

to find solutions to the problems related to human survivability studies, not in an academic setting, but in

accordance with real-world situations involving those problems, and to appropriately judge and act on

them. Accordingly, students are expected to acquire the ability to see the bigger picture regarding diverse

fields of subjects by accumulating a wide range of specialized knowledge in the humanities and sciences.

Students are also expected to develop their basic research skills under the guidance and advice of multiple

faculty members and acquire empirical knowledge from social practices conducted in Japan and abroad

through modeling. Moreover, we will cultivate individuals who may become future global leaders in such

a way that students not only resolve actual problems, but also understand the nature of the current

problems facing humankind, social systems, and global society; determine the issues on their own; and

implement solutions based on unified perspectives and human and social skills related to human

survivability studies.

1) We at Shishu-Kan are searching for students with the following abilities, aptitude and ambitions:

Before taking the Qualifying Examination

Human Survivability Studies I, Human Survivability Studies IIIn Human Survivability Studies I, students will enter into the “practice” stage, which is also known as the social

implementation of knowledge in individual fields of specialization. In other words, students will enhance their research abilities

in their major fields of study based on the basic research skills and academic knowledge acquired by taking Special Research

Seminars I/II, and will acquire the knowledge required to prepare doctoral dissertations and the ability to see the big picture in

diverse specialized fields.

In Human Survivability Studies II, students will broaden their knowledge of “human survivability studies,” select issues by

themselves, fully consider the path to solve such issues, and then work on solving such issues and making decisions. Moreover,

in preparation for a doctoral dissertation, students will seek multi-angled advice from more than one faculty member on the

presentation of the research status in line with their independent research plans as well as periodical reporting of research

findings. Students also will have opportunities to experience external presentations and the presentation of papers, and they will

receive feedback to complete sophisticated doctoral dissertations.

Special Research Seminar I, Special Research Seminar IIGiven that the stage at which students acquire academic knowledge as undergraduate students is the “listening/study” stage, in Special

Research Seminar I, students will conduct research in their major fields of study at the early stage of “thinking/reflection.” At the same time,

students will systematically acquire broader and deeper academic knowledge related to their research through reading specialized books and

research papers while receiving guidance and advice from multiple faculty members. In addition, students will acquire basic research skills

through discussions in which they have opportunities to think by themselves and express their thoughts.

In Special Research Seminar II, students will learn and become familiar with diverse research methods and the latest research results with

the aim of completing the “thinking/reflection” stage. At the same time, students will learn methods of assessing and reviewing research

through debates regarding research issues with multiple academic supervisors and fully acquire basic skills required to prepare doctoral

dissertations, such as communication skills, insights into and abilities to plan and promote research and development, writing abilities,

presentation and debate skills, and abilities to identify issues. In addition, students will prepare the draft of PhD dissertations required for the

Qualifying Examination (QE).

【Diploma Policy (Excerpt)】・To have acquired abilities to autonomously perform pioneering and unique academic research from a comprehensive global perspective while

having high ethical standards and to produce academic results that possess novelty, originality, and application value by utilizing excellent

capabilities to plan and promote research, in order to resolve various complex issues related to the survival of humankind and sustainability of the

global society.

・To have acquired abilities to deeply understand various related issues on a global scale in contemporary society (where people have various

different values) from a multifaceted viewpoint and to consider, assess, and propose feasible means and methods leading to the resolution of such

issues to the international community by utilizing specialized knowledge in academic disciplines across the humanities and sciences.

・To be able to demonstrate both the practical and logical thinking abilities required to play advanced and leading roles, have a strong sense of

ethical responsibility appropriate for the fulfillment of public duties, and take the initiative in a wider variety of fields in global society, with the aim

of creating diverse values, systems, and innovations in society.

【Admission Policy (Excerpt)】・To be equipped with the ability to find a research topic/target that needs to be worked on to resolve issues on a global scale, as well as the ability and strong

will to follow through and implement that research.

・To have a strong motivation to become global leaders to create diverse values and find innovative solutions to various problems on a global scale. In addition,

the students should have the ability to independently plan and make decisions about their future careers, and to implement those decisions.

・To be equipped with language abilities and communication skills that are necessary for an international career.

After passing the Qualifying Examination

Overseas internship and PBRThrough internships at overseas institutions and so forth (“Overseas internship ”), students will have opportunities for

practical learning, thus gaining abilities required to offer creative solutions to problems from global perspectives. At the

same time, students are expected to learn and understand current issues faced by humanity, social systems, and the global

society, and to define their own issues related to “human survivability studies,” and implement solutions to such issues

(“PBR”). The results of Overseas internship and PBR shall be summarized in an implementation report and a working

paper and also be included in the PhD dissertation.

Service Learning A/B, Jukugi A/BDuring their summer vacation period and other occasions, students will participate in practical education in the form of service learning for a

certain period at welfare facilities and other organizations. Furthermore, they will learn and understand current issues faced by humanity and

social systems through Jukugi A/B, which will lead them to define their own issues related to “human survivability studies,” and conduct

debate exercises based on the investigations related to the issues.

7 Matters regarding Taking Courses, etc.

7.1 Courses

(1) When a student cannot attend a class

If you cannot attend a class (excluding courses provided by other graduate schools or faculties and

Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses) or events equivalent to classes (such as seminars and study sessions),

submit a notification of absence form containing the reason for the absence to the faculty members in

charge of each course in advance in principle.

Moreover, if you cannot attend Jukugi A and B for unavoidable reasons, submit a notification of absence

form containing the reason of absence to a faculty member in charge of that particular class session and a

faculty member in charge of Jukugi courses in advance. In cases in which the reason of absence is related

to their research, also submit a letter (free format) in which a faculty member giving students guidance on

their research explain the reason for the absence. Based on the form and the letter submitted, Shishu-Kan

will determine whether or not the reason of the absence is truly unavoidable. If the reason for the absence

is not deemed as truly unavoidable, credits cannot be granted. If you were absent from class, prepare a

report by watching the video images and reading materials of that particular session.

For detailed information regarding the handling and attendance requirements, refer to “5

Attendance Requirements, Requirements for Advancing to the Next Year, Completion Requirements, and

Awarding of a Master’s Degree” and “19.5 Attendance Requirements and Treatment of Absences.”

Moreover, the notification of absence form is only to notify a faculty member in charge of the course of

your “absence.” Accordingly, even if you submit the form, your absence will not be treated as an official

absence. If you want the absence to be treated as an official absence, consult with the faculty member.

(2) When students cannot attend examinations, etc.

If students cannot attend examinations or equivalent events (such as reporting sessions for special

research, or evaluation sessions for advancing to the next year) due to unavoidable reasons such as illness,

make-up examinations or alternative arrangements may be made available if permitted by the Student

Affairs Committee only when the students in question are able to submit certificates and similar

documents.

For further details, refer to “19.5 Attendance Requirements and Treatment of Absences.”

(3) Submission of reports

You should carefully check the notification given by the faculty member in charge and through

KULASIS to confirm the contents, the submission methods, and the deadline before submitting the report

so as to prevent any omissions.

Moreover, if the report is to be submitted to the Student Affairs Office, you shall make sure of the

25

opening hours of the office in advance so that you can submit the report by the deadline. The office can

accept reports only during the opening hours. If you miss the deadline by even a minute, the office will

report the matter to the faculty member in charge and the faculty member shall determine whether or not

your report is accepted.

(4) Notification regarding information such as cancellation of classes

Classes may be cancelled for reasons attributable to the faculty member in charge. In such cases, the

matter shall be announced directly by the faculty member during class or through KULASIS.

7.2 Examinations

(1) Periodic examinations

The schedules, locations, and details for periodic examinations shall be announced no later than 2

weeks before commencement of the examination period through KULASIS and the bulletin board located

on the 1st floor of the Higashi Ichijo Building. Be sure to check the content.

(2) Report examinations

For some courses, report examinations are administered instead of periodic examinations. You should

carefully check the notification given by the faculty member in charge and through KULASIS and the

bulletin board to confirm the content, the submission methods, and the deadline before submitting the

report so as to prevent any omissions.


opening hours of the office in advance so that you will be able to submit the report by the deadline. The

office can accept reports only during opening hours. If you miss the deadline by even a minute, the office

will report the matter to the faculty member in charge, and the faculty member shall determine whether or

not your report is accepted.

(3) Examinations outside the prescribed examination period

Examinations may be administered outside the prescribed examination period. In such cases,

information shall be announced through KULASIS and the bulletin board located on the 1st floor of the

Higashi Ichijo Building. Also, please be aware that such information may be directly provided by the

faculty member in charge of the course during class instead of the Student Affairs Office.

(4) Academic assessment

Those examinations are graded on a scale of 100 maximum points, with 60 points or higher considered

a passing grade. For some courses, the assessment results may be only indicated as pass or fail rather than

through points. The above scores shall be included in an academic report.

In an academic transcript, academic performance records are assessed in grades indicated by “A+ (96

26

points or higher),” “A (85 points or higher),” “B (75 points or higher),” “C (65 points or higher),” “D (60

points or higher),” and “P.” Courses that resulted in a failing grade will not be included in the academic

transcript.

(5) Academic appeals

After receiving an academic report, if students do not accept their academic assessment (for example,

cases in which the academic records obviously contains a faculty error such as incorrect input of

academic grades; or cases in which there are obvious questions and doubts in light of the academic

assessment methods set forth in materials such as the syllabus), students may appeal their academic

assessment. However, such appeals cannot be made directly to the faculty member in charge of each

course. In addition, cases such as requests for relief action, inquiries about reasons for resulting grades,

and requests for not awarding credits if a grade is not an “A” (i.e., if it is a “C”) are excluded, and

accordingly your academic records may be cancelled in such cases. For details, refer to “19.4 Agreement

on Academic Appeals.”

7.3 Office Hours

Shishu-Kan has set the office hours during which students can consult with faculty members about

their problems regarding education, research, and daily life. The Shishu-Kan staff will be at the lounge of

the first residential college (Koshibo) or the second residential college (Sentetsubo) during the hours

between 19:00 to 21:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (in principle). If you have any problems,

consult with the relevant faculty member. The information regarding the schedule of the office hours and

the faculty member in charge of each day will be posted at each residential college.

7.4 Recognition of the Completion of the Program Equivalent to a Master’s Program

Students who have earned prescribed credits (30 credits or more) and successfully completed

Qualifying Examinations, including the evaluation of the draft of QE papers and PhD dissertations and

examinations, will be recognized to have completed the program equivalent to a master’s program.

A certificate of completion of the program equivalent to a master’s program will be issued to students

who wish to receive such certificate. If you wish to receive the certificate, apply for it at the Student

Affairs Office.

In addition, a certificate of expected completion of the program equivalent to a master’s program will be

issued to students who have advanced to the second year and are not on a leave of absence. If you wish to

receive the certificate, apply for it at the Student Affairs Office.

For details of the application method, refer to “17.8 Issuance of Certificates” herein.

8 Course Registration

8.1 Courses Offered by the Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability

・Students shall register courses through KULASIS. Course registration pages will be available on

KULASIS during the course registration period, and students accordingly shall register courses by

themselves.

・For details on the operation method, refer to the manual contained in the course registration screen.

・Be sure to check compulsory courses set for each academic year in the Graduate School Course

Handbook so as to register for all required courses. If you have any concerns, confirm the matters with

your senior academic supervisor or the Student Affairs Office.

・As for cases in which courses are not registered or in which there are any registration deficiencies,

students’ academic performance is not recognized. Be sure to check the registration details on KULASIS

during the course registration amendment period on your own responsibility. If you have any questions or

doubts, contact the Student Affairs Office.

・Be sure to consult with your senior academic supervisor before registration. As courses are registered

through KULASIS, the signature of the senior academic supervisor is not required; however, you should

proceed with registration in a way that allows your senior academic supervisor to acknowledge and

approve the courses you take through methods such as showing your own course plan or a copy of the

course registration screen (on KULASIS) to your senior academic supervisor when having meetings with

him/her. There are some students every year who request a meeting or approval with their academic

supervisor just before the registration deadline without considering the convenience of their academic

supervisor; however, academic supervisors may be away for a long time due to reasons such as business

trips, so be sure to allow enough time to arrange the schedule with your academic supervisor.


(preliminary registration)

・For some courses such as arts courses and courses of which external part-time lecturers are in charge,

preliminary registration may be required prior to course registration in order for us to grasp the number of

students taking each course in advance. If preliminary registration is required, students will be notified of

the matter in advance.

8.3 Courses Offered by Other Faculties and Graduate Schools, and Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses

・If you wish to take courses offered by other faculties or graduate schools, or Liberal Arts and Sciences

Courses, or if you are instructed to take such courses by your senior academic supervisor, you shall

follow the instructions of the relevant faculties, graduate schools, or the Institute for Liberal Arts and

Sciences and register for such courses through the methods designated by the relevant faculties, graduate

schools, or the institute. Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses and many courses offered by other graduate

schools shall be registered through KULASIS. In such cases, you do not need to submit an “auditing

request form;” however, you are required to obtain an approval from your senior academic supervisor for

28

taking such courses.

・As for the registration of courses offered by other faculties/graduate schools, the period in which a form

is issued or the submission period vary depending on faculty/graduate school. Confirm the matter on the

bulletin board at respective faculty/graduate school or through KULASIS.

・Documents regarding course registration we received from other faculties, graduate schools, and the

Institute for Liberal Arts and Sciences will be posted on the bulletin board (in a file) located in front of the

Student Affairs Office. You should confirm such documents by yourself. However, documents to be

posted are only those we have received from such other faculties, graduate schools, and the Institute for

Liberal Arts and Sciences, and accordingly, you should fully confirm information posted on bulletin

boards of respective faculties, graduate schools, and the institute or through KULASIS.

8.4 General Foundation Courses (“Hasshi”)

・If you wish to take courses offered by other faculties or graduate schools as general foundation courses,

or wish to take courses offered by the Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human

Survivability in fields different from those of general foundation courses on the course list, you are

required to submit an “application form for general foundation courses” along with respective syllabuses

to the Student Affairs Office after consulting with and obtaining approval from your senior academic

supervisor. We will notify you of whether or not such courses can be taken as general foundation courses

after deliberation by the Student Affairs Committee.

・The registration of such courses cannot be completed only by submitting the “application form for

general foundation courses.” In addition to the submission of the application form, you shall follow the

prescribed course registration procedures for respective courses offered by the Graduate School of

Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability, other faculties, and graduate schools in order to

complete the course registration. Moreover, as for courses offered by other faculties and graduate schools,

students shall register on their own by visiting the page for auditing courses offered by other faculties on

KULASIS, in addition to the submission of the above-mentioned application form and the completion of

the prescribed course registration procedures. As for courses offered by faculties/graduate schools that do

not allow students from other faculties to request auditing of their courses, an “auditing request form”

shall be submitted to the Student Affairs Office.

・If you do not register for courses in advance, you are not allowed to take them. Be sure to register for

courses in advance, although there are some cases in which registered courses are not approved as general

foundation courses as a result of deliberation by the Student Affairs Committee.

・We will notify you of any changes in course-related matters each time they occur.

Special Research Project IIIIn the fifth year, the students will receive guidance from multiple faculty members to finalize their doctoral dissertations. They should also report periodically their research progress. Apart from completing their doctoral dissertations, the students will have another chance for practical learning that is called “Project Based Research” (PBR).

Special Research Project IIIn Special Research Project II, the students will gain a broad range of expertise in human survivability. During the fourth year the students should also focus more on the search for practical solutions to the issues they have been studying. The students will be offered the opportunity of another overseas internship where they can communicate directly with professionals working on practical solutions as well. During the fourth year internship the students will also acquire the necessary skills to creatively solve problems with a global perspective.

Special Research Project IBased on the knowledge and skills acquired during the first 2 years, the students are expected to further improve the research in their specific academic fields. Together with this, the students should try to incorporate insights from other related fields into their research. At the end of the third year, the students are required to submit a Qualifying Examination (QE) 2 paper that will also be the first draft of their doctoral dissertations.

Special Research Seminar II (including a one-month overseas internship)During the 2nd year, the students will become experts in cutting-edge research methods and findings in their specific academic fields. Simultaneously, through debates with various faculty members, they will receive training in research evaluation and criticism, as well as research planning. They will gain full comprehension of writing, presentation, debating, and problem finding skills to write their doctoral dissertation. At the end of the 2nd year, the students are required to submit a Qualifying Examination (QE) 1 paper. In Jukugi II (industry-government cooperation seminar), students will independently identify a problem and examine the problem in more depth through debate. The students will also participate in an overseas internship for a month during the summer. The overseas internship is a practical training program of a service-learning type aimed at fostering the international views and attitudes.

Special Research Seminar I (including a two-week domestic internship)During the first year each student needs to decide his/her research topic within a specific academic field. A deeper understanding of the field of study will be obtained by reading technical and research materials under the guidance of 2 or more faculty members. In addition, the students will brush up their ability of thinking and expression through extensive discussions. Lastly, through the domestic internship and the industry-government cooperation seminar (Jukugi I), students will understand better the present-day issues faced by mankind and our global society.

14 Matters regarding Taking Courses, etc.

14.1 Courses

(1) When a student cannot attend a class

If you cannot attend a class (excluding courses provided by other graduate schools or faculties and

Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses) or events equivalent to classes (such as seminars and study sessions),

submit a notification of absence form containing the reason for the absence to the faculty members in

charge of each course in advance in principle.

Moreover, if you cannot attend Jukugi I and II for unavoidable reasons, submit a notification of absence

form containing the reason of absence to a faculty member in charge of that particular class session and a

faculty member in charge of Jukugi courses in advance. In cases in which the reason of absence is related

to their research, also submit a letter (free format) in which a faculty member giving students guidance on

their research explain the reason for the absence. Based on the form and the letter submitted, Shishu-Kan

will determine whether or not the reason of the absence is truly unavoidable. If the reason for the absence

is not deemed as truly unavoidable, credits cannot be granted. If you were absent from class, prepare a

report by watching the video images and reading materials of that particular session.

For detailed information regarding the handling and attendance requirements, refer to “12

Attendance Requirements, Requirements for Advancing to the Next Year, Completion Requirements, and

Awarding of a Master’s Degree” and “19.5 Attendance Requirements and Treatment of Absences.”

Moreover, the notification of absence form is only to notify a faculty member in charge of the course of

your “absence.” Accordingly, even if you submit the form, your absence will not be treated as an official

absence. If you want the absence to be treated as an official absence, consult with the faculty member.

(2) When students cannot attend examinations, etc.

If students cannot attend examinations or equivalent events (such as reporting sessions for special

research, or evaluation sessions for advancing to the next year) due to unavoidable reasons such as illness,

make-up examinations or alternative arrangements may be made available if permitted by the Student

Affairs Committee only when the students in question are able to submit certificates and similar

documents.

For further details, refer to “19.5 Attendance Requirements and Treatment of Absences.”

(3) Submission of reports

You should carefully check the notification given by the faculty member in charge and through

KULASIS to confirm the contents, the submission methods, and the deadline before submitting the report

so as to prevent any omissions.


opening hours of the office in advance so that you can submit the report by the deadline. The office can

accept reports only during the opening hours. If you miss the deadline by even a minute, the office will

report the matter to the faculty member in charge and the faculty member shall determine whether or not

51

your report is accepted.

(4) Notification regarding information such as cancellation of classes

Classes may be cancelled for reasons attributable to the faculty member in charge. In such cases, the

matter shall be announced directly by the faculty member during class or through KULASIS.

14.2 Examinations

(1) Periodic examinations

The schedules, locations, and details for periodic examinations shall be announced no later than 2

weeks before commencement of the examination period through KULASIS and the bulletin board located

on the 1st floor of the Higashi Ichijo Building. Be sure to check the content.

(2) Report examinations

For some courses, report examinations are administered instead of periodic examinations. You should

carefully check the notification given by the faculty member in charge and through KULASIS and the

bulletin board to confirm the content, the submission methods, and the deadline before submitting the

report so as to prevent any omissions.


opening hours of the office in advance so that you will be able to submit the report by the deadline. The

office can accept reports only during opening hours. If you miss the deadline by even a minute, the office

will report the matter to the faculty member in charge, and the faculty member shall determine whether or

not your report is accepted.

(3) Examinations outside the prescribed examination period

Examinations may be administered outside the prescribed examination period. In such cases,

information shall be announced through KULASIS and the bulletin board located on the 1st floor of the

Higashi Ichijo Building. Also, please be aware that such information may be directly provided by the

faculty member in charge of the course during class instead of the Student Affairs Office.

(4) Academic assessment

Those examinations are graded on a scale of 100 maximum points, with 60 points or higher considered

a passing grade. For some courses, the assessment results may be only indicated as pass or fail rather than

through points. The above scores shall be included in an academic report.

Regarding students enrolling in the 2013 and 2014 academic years, academic assessment results are

recorded as “A,” “B,” “C,” or “Pass” in their academic transcripts. The grades awarded to “A,” “B,” “C”

are 80 or more points, 70 or more points, and 60 or more points, respectively. The academic results for

failed courses are not recorded on the academic transcript.

As for students enrolling in and after the 2015 academic year, in an academic transcript, academic

52

performance records are assessed in grades indicated by “A+ (96 points or higher),” “A (85 points or

higher),” “B (75 points or higher),” “C (65 points or higher),” “D (60 points or higher),” and “P.” Courses

that resulted in a failing grade will not be included in the academic transcript.

(5) Academic appeals

After receiving an academic report, if students do not accept their academic assessment (for example,

cases in which the academic records obviously contains a faculty error such as incorrect input of

academic grades; or cases in which there are obvious questions and doubts in light of the academic

assessment methods set forth in materials such as the syllabus), students may appeal their academic

assessment. However, such appeals cannot be made directly to the faculty member in charge of each

course. In addition, cases such as requests for relief action, inquiries about reasons for resulting grades,

and requests for not awarding credits if a grade is not an “A” (i.e., if it is a “C”) are excluded, and

accordingly your academic records may be cancelled in such cases. For details, refer to “19.4 Agreement

on Academic Appeals.”

14.3 Office Hours

Shishu-Kan has set the office hours during which students can consult with faculty members about

their problems regarding education, research, and daily life. The Shishu-Kan staff will be at the lounge of

the first residential college (Koshibo) or the second residential college (Sentetsubo) during the hours

between 19:00 to 21:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (in principle). If you have any problems,

consult with the relevant faculty member. The information regarding the schedule of the office hours and

the faculty member in charge of each day will be posted at each residential college.

14.4 Recognition of the Completion of the Program Equivalent to a Master’s Program

Students who have earned prescribed credits (30 credits or more) and successfully completed

Qualifying Examinations, including the evaluation of the draft of PhD dissertations and examinations,

will be recognized to have completed the program equivalent to a master’s program.

A certificate of completion of the program equivalent to a master’s program will be issued to students

who wish to receive such certificate. If you wish to receive the certificate, apply for it at the Student

Affairs Office.

In addition, a certificate of expected completion of the program equivalent to a master’s program will be

issued to students who have advanced to the second year and are not on a leave of absence. If you wish to

receive the certificate, apply for it at the Student Affairs Office.

For details of the application method, refer to “17.8 Issuance of Certificates” herein.

15 Course Registration


・Students shall register courses through KULASIS. Course registration pages will be available on

53

KULASIS during the course registration period, and students accordingly shall register courses by

themselves.

・For details on the operation method, refer to the manual contained in the course registration screen.

・Requirements for advancing to the next year and for completion of the program are determined for each

academic year, and accordingly. Be sure to check compulsory courses set for each academic year in the

Graduate School Course Handbook so as to register for all required courses. If you have any concerns,

confirm the matters with your senior academic supervisor or the Student Affairs Office.

・As for cases in which courses are not registered or in which there are any registration deficiencies,

students’ academic performance is not recognized. Be sure to check the registration details on KULASIS

during the course registration amendment period on your own responsibility. If you have any questions or

doubts, contact the Student Affairs Office.

・Be sure to consult with your senior academic supervisor before registration. As courses are registered

through KULASIS, the signature of the senior academic supervisor is not required; however, you should

proceed with registration in a way that allows your senior academic supervisor to acknowledge and

approve the courses you take through methods such as showing your own course plan or a copy of the

course registration screen (on KULASIS) to your senior academic supervisor when having meetings with

him/her. There are some students every year who request a meeting or approval with their academic

supervisor just before the registration deadline without considering the convenience of their academic

supervisor; however, academic supervisors may be away for a long time due to reasons such as business

trips, so be sure to allow enough time to arrange the schedule with your academic supervisor.


(preliminary registration)

・For some courses such as arts courses and courses of which external part-time lecturers are in charge,

preliminary registration may be required prior to course registration in order for us to grasp the number of

students taking each course in advance. If preliminary registration is required, students will be notified of

the matter in advance.

15.3 Courses Offered by Other Faculties and Graduate Schools, and Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses


Courses, or if you are instructed to take such courses by your senior academic supervisor, you shall

follow the instructions of the relevant faculties, graduate schools, or the Institute for Liberal Arts and

Sciences and register for such courses through the methods designated by the relevant faculties, graduate

schools, or the institute. Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses and many courses offered by other graduate

schools shall be registered through KULASIS. In such cases, you do not need to submit an “auditing

request form;” however, you are required to obtain an approval from your senior academic supervisor for

taking such courses.

・As for the registration of courses offered by other faculties/graduate schools, the period in which a form

54

is issued or the submission period vary depending on faculty/graduate school. Confirm the matter on the

bulletin board at respective faculty/graduate school or through KULASIS.

・Documents regarding course registration we received from other faculties, graduate schools, and the

Institute for Liberal Arts and Sciences will be posted on the bulletin board (in a file) located in front of the

Student Affairs Office. You should confirm such documents by yourself. However, documents to be

posted are only those we have received from such other faculties, graduate schools, and the Institute for

Liberal Arts and Sciences, and accordingly, you should fully confirm information posted on bulletin

boards of respective faculties, graduate schools, and the institute or through KULASIS.

15.4 Foreign Language Courses Included in Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses

・Preliminary registration is necessary to take intermediate foreign language courses (English, German,

French, Chinese, and Spanish) (however, some courses are excluded.) The registration methods and

schedule shall be posted on the bulletin board. Be sure to check the bulletin board to confirm such

information.

・The course registration cannot be completed only by going through the preliminary registration

procedures. You must register courses on KULASIS after the preliminary registration. There are many

cases every year in which students cannot take courses because they only go through the preliminary

registration procedures but do not actually register courses on KULASIS. Be sure to complete the course

registration (on KULASIS) for all courses you wish to take.

・In addition, you are not required to submit an “auditing request form” for foreign language courses

included in Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses.

15.5 General Foundation Courses (“Hasshi”)


Courses as general foundation courses, or wish to take courses offered by the Graduate School of

Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability in fields different from those of general foundation

courses on the course list, you are required to submit an “application form for general foundation courses”

along with respective syllabuses to the Student Affairs Office after consulting with and obtaining approval

from your senior academic supervisor. We will notify you of whether or not such courses can be taken as

general foundation courses after deliberation by the Student Affairs Committee.

・The registration of such courses cannot be completed only by submitting the “application form for

general foundation courses.” In addition to the submission of the application form, you shall follow the

prescribed course registration procedures for respective courses offered by the Graduate School of

Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability, other faculties, and graduate schools in order to

complete the course registration. Moreover, as for courses offered by other faculties and graduate schools,

students shall register on their own by visiting the page for auditing courses offered by other faculties on

KULASIS, in addition to the submission of the above-mentioned application form and the completion of

the prescribed course registration procedures. As for courses offered by faculties/graduate schools that do

55

not allow students from other faculties to request auditing of their courses, an “auditing request form”

shall be submitted to the Student Affairs Office, in addition to the submission of the above-mentioned

application form and the completion of the prescribed course registration procedures.

・If you do not register for courses in advance, you are not allowed to take them. Be sure to register for

courses in advance, although there are some cases in which registered courses are not approved as general

foundation courses as a result of deliberation by the Student Affairs Committee.

・Students who wish to receive recognition for the second foreign language course based on (external)

foreign language certificate examinations shall submit a “request for the recognition of the second foreign

language course based on (external) foreign language certificate examinations” to the Student Affairs

Office. The Student Affairs Committee shall deliberate on matters such as the content and level of the

foreign language certificate examination and notify the students of the results of such deliberation.

・We will notify you of any changes in course-related matters each time they occur.

This is a system to compensate for damages students are held legally liable for when injuring other people

during education and research activities.

(3) University CO-OP’s Personal Liability Insurance for Students

This is compensation system that provides the insured with a wider scope of coverage for injuries caused

to others in daily life.

Among students attending to the Shishu-Kan, Japanese students must take out Gakkensai and Futaibaiseki

at the time of the admission procedures.

International students enrolling in and before the 2015 academic year were required to take out Gakkensai

and Futaibaiseki at the time of admission procedures; however, it is recommended that they should switch

from Futaibaiseki to the University CO-OP’s Personal Liability Insurance for Students in and after the

66

2016 academic year.
