Minor Research Project / Internship

In addition to a major research project (master's thesis or research project / doctoral dissertation) in their major field, students must take a minor research project to acquire knowledge in relevant fields. These multifaceted research activities enable students to conduct research with a broader viewpoint and develop adaptive and applied skills to prepare for various challenges.
Students who wish to acquire practical research development ability in an industry can select internships (Science and Technology Internship) at companies in place of a minor research project.
