The Computer Science English Program fosters the development of
qualified researchers in interdisciplinary computer science.
This program is for those earning the Master of Engineering
degree at the Department of Computer Science in the Graduate
School of Systems and Information Engineering.
Until 2013, the Computer Science Department, together with the
Center for Computational Sciences, offered the "G30 Computational
Science English Program". That program aimed at developing
skilled researchers on the fields of High Performance Computing,
including parallel numerical algorithms, parallel programming, and
optimization of large-scale computing environments.
Starting in 2014, the "G30 Computational Science English
Program" has changed into the "Computer Science English
Program". In its new form, the program aims to cover a broader
area than before.
Enrollment Procedure
The prospective student must first enroll in
the Master
Program in Computer Science, offered by
the Degree Programs in Systems and Information Engineering,
Graduate School of Science and Technology.
For more details on the application procedure, please check the University of
Tsukuba's Graduate
Admissions web page.
After the student is successfully accepted into the Computer
Science Master Program, his/her enrollment into the Computer Science
English Program is completed
via an online registration form: [URL].
Note: login with @u.tsukuba.ac.jp account is required.
Registration deadline: May 9th, 2025
Completion Requirements
Requirements for the Master Program Degree:
- A total of at least 30 credits must be earned, including 12
mandatory credits from the three Common Courses and at least
18 credits from the Elective Courses. Courses held within the
Graduate School (including Campus-wide Courses for Graduate
Students) may all be deemed Elective Courses, with no special
restrictions applied.
- Up to 10 credits earned for courses completed in other
graduate schools (including Campus-wide Courses for Graduate
Students) may be included among the earned credits required
for Course completion, subject to approval in advance by both
the faculty advisor and the Chair of the Department.
- The requirements for Course completion are the earning of at
least 30 credits and successful completion of both the
master's thesis and the final examination.
Requirements for the English Program Certificate of completion
A student that has fulfilled the requirements for the Master
Degree program in Computer Science will also be eligible for the
English Program Certificate of completion if:
- The student has enrolled in the English Program after being
accepted in the Master Degree program;
- The student has earned 10 credits or more in elective
courses offered by the Computer Science English Program.
Following the fulfillment of the above requirements, the
Department will, upon the certification of the Master Degree
program completion, also issue a certificate of completion of the
English Program.
