Course overview and goals

This course is designed for students with work experience as a working adult who have acquired the Graduate Attributes (GAs) that master's degree students are required to fulfill through their past work activities (including those at their past employers). The course certifies that the student has already acquired the Graduate Attributes (GA) that master's degree students are required to fulfill, based on the student's work experience (including ongoing work experience at past employers), and the student is awarded credits and GA (GA0M and GA1M).
In view of the content of the GAs, students who have at least two years of work experience in a company, etc. are required to take the course in principle. However, this does not apply to those with less than two years of work experience, if they are deemed to have experience and achievements that meet the GA requirements.
The maximum number of credits that can be earned through the Master's Recurrent Training Program is 2 credits in total.

Course description and aims

Students with work experience can earn credits upon certification by their graduate major to which they belong that they have already substantially satisfied GAs required for Master’s students, based on their work experience and achievement as members of society in the past and present.

The materials should be submitted to the course via the student's faculty advisor. The course will approve the credits earned and the number of credits to be earned in this course based on the materials submitted by the student.
If the student is approved for the credits earned and the number of credits to be earned in this course, the student shall submit a course registration report at the most recent Q for which a course registration can be submitted.
