卒論UT
[4th year seminars]
4th year seminars are the culmination of a student’s four years
of study at APU. These highly specialized subjects allow
students to research a topic of interest and write a thesis on it
over a period of one year.
専演ⅠMS-1
専演II
MS-2
[3rd year seminars]
In 3rd year seminars, small numbers of students work closely with professors to increase their expertise through researching, presenting and discussing selected topics. Simultaneously, through actual practice students master the research methods and investigative analysis techniques considered necessary for every area of study and which are the fundamental skills required for undergraduate research.

Writing your seminar application essay
• As a standard requirement for both main seminar and sub-seminar
applications, applicants are asked to provide an essay stating the reason
why they wish to apply for the seminar and so on. You are free to write
your essay however you wish in approximately 600 words (about 1 A4 size
sheet of paper in length)
• In addition to the essay, some instructors may require a supplementary
assignment so please be sure to check the syllabus way in advance or ask
your seminar instructors directly during individual consultations.
• There are cases in which applicants are exempted from providing an essay.
Please see the next slide for more details.
• As you are to enter the essay and/or assignment directly into the
application page in manaba (12/13~20), we strongly recommend that you
prepare your essay/assignment beforehand using MS word(or any
equivalent word processing software).
• As the box provided in manaba only accepts plain text, assignments which
require the use of objects (images, tables, graphs, etc.) may be uploaded
as a separate file using the upload feature found right below the text box
for the assignment. (up to 55mb)
