In the College of Transdisciplinary Sciences for Innovation, teachers provide thorough instruction for students to select the most suitable courses for individuals from a variety of transdisciplinary courses. As a place for collaboration between students and faculty, we hold the next guidance every year, and draw up a custom-made “learning plan” focusing on students’ interest while connecting the direction of future issues with the beginning of problem solving.

A custom-made “Learning Plan I” will be prepared based on each student’s study status and academic progress in common education subjects. Based on the systematized learning, students set up tasks and use the advice of teachers to clarify their future vision.
for JuniorsExploratory [TANKYU] Guidance
A “Learning Plan II” will be prepared based on the study status and progress in the core area, and the direction toward setting future tasks. If necessary, students take courses in other academic schools with back-casting learning* to acquire basic knowledge. Learning in various fields under the guidance of teachers also helps to set future tasks.

In addition to reviewing the progress of the “Learning Plan I / II” with the instructor, the instructor will guide the students to do back-casting learning* and take other courses according to their individual learning. In addition, regarding graduation research, exercises, and examinations, students are advised to receive guidance from experts and entrepreneurs in fields different from those of the instructors if necessary.
