Class registration
How to register for classes
As a condition for applying for a doctoral degree assessment, it is necessary to earn a prescribed number of credits. The number of credits needed to earn a degree is given below.
Doctoral program |
A minimum of 10 credits from Department of Polar Science subjects or school of Multidisciplinary Science subjects. (4 or more credits) |
|---|---|
5-year integrated doctoral program |
A minimum of 40 credits from Department of Polar Science subjects or school of Multidisciplinary Science subjects. (8 or more credits) |
It is possible to register for subjects in schools (departments) other than that to which you belong or even for subjects at other universities. However, please note carefully that the maximum number of credits that can be counted from such subjects (including foundation subjects common to the School of Multidisciplinary Sciences) is 4 in the case of the doctoral program, and 10 in the case of the 5-year integrated doctoral program.
Note that the question of whether or not earned credits can be counted towards doctoral program degree credits, depend on whether or not the content of the subject taken are related to your area of research. Keep this point in mind when registering for subjects.
If you interested in taking subjects offered by other schools (departments) or other universities, please inquire with the Academic Promotion Section in advance to confirm whether it is possible to register for the subjects. For various reasons, it may not be possible to fit in certain subjects.
