Our university has established a "Teaching Assistant (TA)" system to provide Graduate Schools with training opportunities to become future teachers and researchers, while simultaneously offering financial support (scholarships).

1. A teaching assistant (TA) is responsible for assisting with classes and other related activities, and performs the following duties:
   • Doctoral students in the later stages of their studies are involved in educational support tasks related to master's or undergraduate courses.
   • Doctoral students (first and second-year master's students) are involved in educational support tasks related to undergraduate courses.
2. The number of classes (90 minutes per class) that instructors can teach is limited to four classes per week for doctoral students (late stage) and three classes per week for master's students (early stage doctoral and master's stages).
3. The allowance is 4,000 yen per class for doctoral students (postgraduate level) and 3,500 yen per class for master's students (pre-doctoral level).

Those interested should consult with their academic advisor in advance.

You can also conduct research in the Graduate Graduate School of Law student" rather than a regular student (extensions are possible). Research students are usually admitted simply by an interview with the faculty member who will supervise them. Tuition fees are also one-third of those for regular students. Attending classes is possible but not mandatory. The purpose of this system is to allow students to observe Graduate Schools environment before enrolling as a regular student and to provide a period to prepare for deciding their future career path. Of course, it can also be used if you wish to continue research after completing the program.

When your period as a research student ends, you must submit a research report to your supervisor.
