The Graduate Programs of RIHE |
|||||
RIHE has two graduate programs for higher education studies, a doctoral (Ph.D.) program
and a master (M.Ed. or M.A.*) program. These programs were established in 1986 as the first
graduate programs for higher education research in Japan. In addition to these two degree
programs, RIHE has also a non degree seeking program (research student: "kenkyusei" program).
All lectures are taught in Japanese. Many overseas students have a good command of Japanese and have accomplished their coursework and thesis so far. * At the end of the program, master candidates can choose the title of the degree, Master of Education or Master of Arts. |

What is research student (kenkyusei) and for what? |
|||||
|
Research student (kenkyusei in Japanese) means a non degree seeking program student who stays
for generally less than one year. A kenkyusei usually attends the classes held in RIHE as an
auditor and study his/her own research topic. Though a kenkyusei can neither get any credits
during the period nor be given any qualification after the period, he/she can study his/her
research topic freely from the pressure to get credit and finish coursework. Actually, many
overseas students use this program for getting used to life in Japan, developing Japanese skill
before entering the degree programs, and preparing to the entrance examination described below. |
