Most students in Computer Science and Software Science Course proceed to Graduate School of Information Science and Technology. Our curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive and well-structured education in their field of study. Students begin taking a wide range of specialized courses from their first year and complete most of their major coursework by the end of their third year. In particular, by the end of the first semester of their third year, students will have completed many of the fundamental and essential courses in their field. This structured curriculum provides students with a solid academic foundation and gives them sufficient time to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination, which is held in the summer of their fourth year.
