3 Requirements for Completion of a Master's Program

(1) Requirements for completion The requirements to complete a Master's Program include the following: the student must have studied in a Master's Program for at least two years; the minimum credits required for completing the program must have been acquired, as shown in the following table; the students must submit a Master's thesis after receiving the necessary guidance and pass both the thesis examination and the final test. Students who achieve excellent results, however, can complete the program in a shorter time. The 'Seminar I & II' and 'Experimental Research' for students who study mainly Social Planning Engineering subjects are designated as 'Social Planning Engineering Group Study Seminar I', 'Social Planning Engineering Group Study Seminar II' and 'Social Planning Engineering Experimental Research' respectively.
