Course overview and goals
The B2D scheme enables students to develop an individualized course of study tailored to meet their academic goals.
Students will:
- Initiate their research project in the fall semester of the second year of their bachelor’s program, at an earlier stage than usual at Tokyo Tech
- Compose and implement a customized study plan connecting undergraduate and graduate programs in a seamless manner
Students are expected to:
- Be proactive in pursuing their own goals
- Become doctoral graduates with a multidisciplinary perspective
- Play unique roles in society, transcending existing frameworks
Students must pass the B2D special selection to be admitted to study in this scheme.
The B2D academic supervisor and student will discuss and come up with an agreed-upon research theme. The student will then start preliminary research related to the theme:
1. Expanding knowledge of the specialized field of study, while conducting a search of the literature
2. Developing focal point of research
3. Training in research methods, and enhancing oral and written communication skills necessary to disseminate research findings.
Course description and aims
Through the course, a student should be able to
1) learn academic knowledge to promote research activities,
2) understand potential contribution of his/her research plan to the society and find value of the research, and
3) training basic research skills.
