This will be accomplished through class work as well as participation in the various activities of research groups.<\/p>\r\n<p>The one-year program begins on <b>October 1<\/b>. Applicants are recommended to take the one-year course, because some classes are designed for a whole year. However, a few students can be admitted to the 6-month course if they wish.<\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/?p=18061\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">School\/Faculty and Department<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"tmpBox right\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-895\" alt=\"E11_introduction_p600\u00d7450\" src=\"\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_20170107_122936.jpg\" \/><\/div>\r\n<!-- \/.twoColumnBeforeImg --><\/div>\r\n<h2 class=\"hd2_01\" id=\"ank02\"><!-- .hd2_01 -->Curriculum<!-- \/.hd2_01 --><\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"twoColumnAfterImg\"><!-- \/.twoColumnBeforeImg -->\r\n<div class=\"tmpBox left\">\r\n<ol class=\"textOrderList01 mt30\"><!-- .textOrderList01 -->\r\n\t<li><a href=\".\/1-academic-calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Academic Calendar<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/exchange\/jype\/2-course-description\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Course Description<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\".\/3-class-schedule-sample\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Class Schedule (Sample)<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/?p=18043\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Other Courses Taught in English<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/?p=19472\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Syllabus (Elective Courses)<\/a><\/li>\r\n<!-- \/.textOrderList01 --><\/ol>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>- Students in this program will be formally registered in one of the followings as <b>Special Auditing Students<\/b>; the Faculty of <b>Science<\/b>, the School of <b>Engineering<\/b>, the Faculty of <b>Agriculture<\/b>.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- Each semester consists of <b>15 weeks<\/b> of class work.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- Participation in the activities of a research group counts <b>5 or 10\u00a0credits<\/b> for the Individual Research Training course each semester, which is a required course.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- <b>Two credits<\/b> are given for most of the lecture courses that meet <b>once a week<\/b> for <b>90 minutes<\/b>.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- Students are required to take a total of <b>13 credits or more<\/b> including 5 or 10\u00a0credits from IRT course each semester.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- Credit System: <b>1 Tohoku University credit<\/b> is awarded for <b>45 hours<\/b> of school work.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- The course credits will be certified by the respective Faculty.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- The academic credits earned at Tohoku University should be acceptable at the student\u2019s home institution in accordance with the student exchange agreement.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- Students interested in pursuing credit transfer should discuss this with their academic advisor of their home institution.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- Academic advice and guidance for daily life will be provided by Global Learning Center.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>- The Japanese language classes (optional) meet <b>four times<\/b>* a week in general and <b>up to 4 credits<\/b>* are given for <b>60 classes<\/b>* (*depends on their\u00a0levels).\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"tmpBox right\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-896\" alt=\"E11_introduction_p600\u00d7450\" src=\"\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Aug.-1-3-2017-COLABS_JYPE_Presentations-232.jpg\" \/><\/div>\r\n<!-- \/.twoColumnBeforeImg --><\/div>\r\n<h2 class=\"hd2_01\" id=\"ank03\"><!-- .hd2_01 -->Eligibility<!-- \/.hd2_01 --><\/h2>\r\n<p>The applicant must satisfy the following conditions to be eligible for enrollment in this program:<\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>\r\n1.
