Master's Program
The requirements for completing the master's program are to study for at least two years, acquire the required number of credits, receive necessary research guidance, pass a foreign language certification test, and pass the review of the master's thesis or specific research results and the final exam. There are two ways to complete the program: (1) "master's thesis research" and (2) "research project," and the requirements for completion differ depending on the method.
"Master's thesis research" is a method of completing a master's thesis by writing a thesis under the guidance of a research supervisor and passing the thesis examination.
"Problem research" is a method of completion in which students create the results of their problem research and pass an examination.
