Requirements for completion of the Ph.D. course
Students are required to be enrolled in SOKENDAI for more than 3 years (five-year course students are required to be enrolled for more than 5 years), earn necessary credits prescribed at each department, take necessary research guidance for a doctoral thesis, and pass an examination for a doctoral thesis. Students who are recognized to have achieved great performance, can graduate in shorter term.
