Graduate School Non-degree Students

Graduate School Credited Auditors

“Credited Auditors” is a lifelong education program that allows the public including working professionals to study part‐time and for the university to evaluate their learning outcomes.
Enrolled auditors can take courses offered by programs at the University of Tsukuba, and the university gives them a credit if they complete a course.
A broad range of courses are available, and everyone is welcome to learn as a credited auditor. Since not all the classes can be taken, check the availability and condition of the class in the “Course Catalog for Graduate School Students (for non-degree research student reference)” before submitting the application.
The granting credits may be considered as the credits for subject area classes that have been completed after the admission to the Universities.
Please check the Official University website (Credited Auditors) for details.
