Dear Student,

Welcome to the Non-Thesis Master’s Program.

Throughout your studies, you may receive support from the Program Chair regarding all academic processes and procedures. You may contact the Program Chair by sending a message through the OIS system.

For the procedures required during your studies, you can access the relevant forms and information on the Graduate School’s website. In addition, we recommend that you carefully read the Graduate Education and Training Regulations.
