- Although it is necessary to arrange lectures after the night shift or on holidays, seniors in the master's thesis course have successfully completed their master's programs while balancing work and study.It will be a very busy two years, so it goes without saying that you will be expected to proceed with your studies in a planned manner.It is very reassuring to have the understanding and support of my family.

In the case of the master's thesis course, first-year students are expected to attend lectures and seminars at the university from morning to evening every Thursday.Other days of the week may be specified depending on the subject.The timetable is communicated to the graduate students at the beginning of the semester, so they can adjust their work shifts and holidays as necessary. In the second year, you will be working on your own research and putting together a master's thesis, so please consult with the faculty member in charge.
Due to the large number of subjects in the CNS course, lectures are held on days other than Thursdays.In addition, in the CNS course, there is clinical practice in each of the first and second years.
- What kind of day do graduate students spend in graduate school?
- In addition to the compulsory subjects, the timetable varies depending on the area of study, but in the spring semester of the first year, classes and guidance may be included up to the 1th period.When classes are not in session, I work on my homework and assignments at my desk in the graduate student room or at the library.
The time for practical training in neighboring areas in the CNS course will be coordinated with the training hospital.
