Admission policy

Education at the undergraduate was mainly done at universities so far, but society’s request for graduate school education has become stronger in recent years. Conventional graduate school education focuses on training researchers and training for successors of university faculty members. Except for some universities, the number of students who wish to go on to graduate school is not so large, and the entrance quota is limited. However, recently, there is growing expectation for not only researcher training, but also the role of training personnel with advanced professional skills and re-education / training for working people. In undergraduate education, we focus on basic education that leads to specialized education, and in graduate school education. We seek further enhancement of graduate school education in the form of more advanced education or practical specialized education based on undergraduate education. In order to survive international competitiveness, there are not a few companies that are promoting hiring recruitment, mainly graduate students. At Tohoku Gakuin University Graduate School of Engineering, in order to respond to such changes in the social situation, we ask for the following entrants.

  1. A person with fundamental academic ability and flexible thought ability and a posture to learn voluntarily.
  2. A person who has a desire to be strongly involved in the future progress of a special field, to have a dream and passion, to find and solve problems himself, and to solve it.
  3. A person who wants to acquire expert knowledge and insight and want to contribute to the development of society based on the international perspective.
