Educational Organizations
Undergraduate Schools
Organized in accordance with their educational purposes, the Undergraduate Schools take inclusive
responsibility for undergraduate education. Each Undergraduate Schools consists of multiple Colleges that
are academically close.
Since the range of their intended fields of study are limited and highly specialized, the fields of Physical
Education and Arts are not organized into Colleges, since they provide suitable education for their purposes
as Specialized Schools.
Colleges
The Colleges belong to the various Undergraduate Schools, taking primary responsibility for
undergraduate education and serving as a base for students class composition.
Graduate Schools
The University of Tsukuba offers Masters Programs, Doctoral Programs and Professional Degree
Programs. The Masters Programs aim at producing professionals with academic and technical expertise
and offering re-education opportunities for the general public. They are not divided into the conventional
specialized fields and are an interdisciplinary education system. The Doctoral Programs aim to produce
highly specialized researchers and research-oriented professionals in their respective fields, offering
advanced education for cultivating a high degree of specialization based on extensive knowledge. The
Professional Degree Programs emphasize practical training and education and aim at producing human
resources with highly specialized professional abilities.
There are several types of Doctoral Programs: five-year consecutive programs that are not divided into
separate masters and doctoral programs, five-year programs that are divided into masters and doctoral
programs, and certain programs that combine the above two systems.

In December 2011, SIGMA was established for the purpose of directing and implementing
interdisciplinary degree programs (various multidisciplinary education and research programs) in Graduate
School Program. The program currently implemented at SIGMA is Ph.D Program in Human Biology and
Empowerment Informatics which were adopted as Leading Program and Life Science Innovation in Ph.D
Program.
Faculty
The research institute is the organization bearing a fundamental responsibility in both education and
research related to its academic field. It plays a role to comprehensively promote the development of its
expertise and alliance or collaboration with other academic fields as planned from holistic perspective.
Centers and the University of Tsukuba Hospital

Facilities such as a language laboratories, workshops and chemical laboratories, along with organizations
16
for education and research are essential for the university. Although many universities provide these
facilities for each department on a small scale, the University has organized a system equipped with
extensive centers that can be used in common throughout the University.
We also have Nationwide Joint-use Educational Institutes to exchange people and information and
conduct joint researches nationwide.
Education for students, research institute and community clinic are offered at the University of Tsukuba
Hospital.

The University is a place where human resources are cultivated with a well-rounded education and
specialized knowledge and skills, while also being a place to promote advanced studies as a center of
learning.
The University of Tsukuba, as a university, has conceptual organizations such as Schools, Colleges,
and Masters and Doctoral programs to achieve its objectives. Besides these organizations, there are a
library, centers, hospital, and for the convenience of student life, stores, cafeterias, residence halls and other

small local community.
In public, people live under various laws and customs including the constitution. The university also has
minimal rules to perform its educational and research functions smoothly and effectively.
Our school regulations and other rules concerning student life are embodiments of such rules. Students

In addition, any student who goes against their duty by cheating in final examinations, causing an injury,

Dismissal and Disciplinary Action

The University has various rules and regulations, including undergraduate school regulations and
corporate rules regarding the activities of students, which are considered the minimum rules to maintain
a favorable educational and research environment as well as to preserve order on campus. Dismissal or
disciplinary action may result if a student breaches these rules and regulations.
A student will be dismissed if one of the following reasons, e.g. failing to pay tuition fees payable or
exceeding the limit for the term of study, is applicable:
1. A student who has not paid tuition fees payable and still does not pay after payment has been demanded.
2. A student who exceeds the limit for the term of study (6 years or 9 years for the School of Medicine)
specified in Article 4 of the undergraduate school regulations.
3. A student who has not completed at least 15 credits (or equivalent credits or courses taken for the School
of Medicine) per year (excluding students with prior permission from the Provost for particular reasons).
4. A student who exceeds the period of a Leave of Absence as specified in the first (within 2 years of
continuous leave of absence) and second (within a total of 3 years of leave of absence) clauses of Article
48, and has still not re-entered the University.
5. A student who has applied for an entrance fee exemption or postponement, but has had their application
denied, or has been approved for a half exemption and yet has not paid the entrance fee by the specified
deadline or has not paid the entrance fee after the period of postponement.
In addition, any student who breaches the university regulations or goes against the duties of a student
will be disciplined by the President or as otherwise required after discussions with the Education and
Research Council. The types of disciplinary measures are disciplinary withdrawal, suspension and
admonitory warning, and disciplinary withdrawal will be administered if one of the following 3 reasons is
applicable:
1. A student who has bad behavior and has no prospects of improvement.
2. A student who is frequently absent without excusable reasons.
3. A student who disturbs the order and who significantly violates the duties of students.
Please note that the period of suspension is included in the period of enrollment, but not in the term of
study; however, it may be included in the term of study if the period does not exceed 1 month.
Student Organizations
The University has a student organization whose parent organization is individual classes. This organization
36
does not differ from the student body associations of other universities, except that it is voluntarily operated by
students. As an unique initiative of the University o Tsukuba, it has the following characteristics:
1. It is designated as an official organization of the University.
2. It is a place where students can be informed of matters regarding educational activities and student life,
and where the views of students on the decision-making of the University can be reflected.
3. For the reasons above, networks and official gatherings with the representatives of university
organizations (Class Instructors, Academic Advisors, staff of the Student Office Deans, Provosts, Vice
Presidents, etc.) are held to develop better contact and to promote exchanges with students.
The fundamental unit of the student organization is each undergraduate student. That is, all of our
undergraduate students belong to one of the classes and organize class meetings. At class meetings,
representatives are selected from each class who then organize a conference of class representatives for
each school. A chairperson and two vice chairpersons are elected from each conference, who then comprise
the University of Tsukuba Student Representative Conference.
Student Meetings and Notification

Leading a student life, you may wish to post notices or distribute documents to inform people of
meetings such as seminars, recitals, discussions or other extracurricular activities. In such cases, various
procedures are established in the University of Tsukuba university regulations regarding student activities
to preserve a research and educational environment and to maintain order on campus. Please read Articles
3 and 4 of the rules carefully for further explanations.
For your reference, the precautionary procedures are listed below.
Please note that in these rules a meeting includes a normal gathering (including demonstrations), surveys
and events, excluding those related to the lectures.
1. When a student or a student organization wishes to hold a meeting on campus, it is required to select a
leader and submit a Student Meeting Application Form to the Academic Service Office 5 days prior to the
meeting date (holidays excluded) for the Presidents permission.To post documents or posters on a student
bulletin board, an Application for Document Posing/ Distribution should be submitted.
2. When submitting an application, the signatures of following teachers are required:
Student organization Advisory teacher
Class Class Instructor
Volunteer, etc. Teacher of school, and college of the leader of the meeting
3. Applications should be submitted to the Academic Service Office that the leader of the meeting
belongs to.
Please note that campus-wide organizations (such as University of Tsukuba Student Representative
Conference, school festival planning committee, Sports Day student committee, representative meetings
for extracurricular activities) should submit their applications to the Division of Student Welfare (Student
Office). Applications are accepted 1 month prior to the date of the event.
4. Regarding the meeting place, the leader of the meeting should confirm the availability of the place at
the relevant division.
Please note that depending on the School some classrooms, such as large sized classrooms with
educational equipment, are not available for these purposes.
Also, if you wish to use the University Hall or Residence Hall, please contact them directly as they have
37
different office procedures.
5. When holding meetings on campus that will earn money through donation or sales, etc., attach a
revenue and expenditure estimate to the application. A balance sheet should be submitted after the meeting.
Please contact the Academic Service Office in advance for the styles of such documents.
6. The sizes of signboards (posters) should be smaller than 80 cm x 110 cm and must be posted or set on
designated student bulletin board or area.
7. The name of the group (if posted or distributed by a student group) or name, school and college of a
representative should be written on posters or documents.
8. Maximum period of posting is 1 month. Any outdated signboards must be removed by the responsible.
9. If a standing signboard is necessary, application form must be submitted to the Division of Student
Welfare (Student Support). Period for placing a standing signboard is within one week (including the date
for event)
10. When a student or a student group is using a loudspeaker on campus, select a student in charge
beforehand and submit an Application for Use of Loudspeaker for permission. Please follow the
instructions of the school staff regarding the time and place for use so that it wont disturb research and
educational activities.
Please make sure that you not only do not damage another persons reputation, but the University also
curbs the political activities of specific political groups and the religious activities of specific religious
organizations, grounded in the fundamental principles that we never allow specific political activities with a
political purpose on campus because of unfortunate experiences from university disputes in the past.
Remember that students are expected to behave as members of the University.
The application forms can be obtained at the Division of Student Welfare or the Academic Service
Offices.
Off-Campus Activity Notification must be submitted to the Division of Student Welfare definitely in
advance when you go mountain-climbing, hold a training camp or give a performance off campus in order
to ensure emergency contact. Without prior notification, Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing
Education and Research is not applied.
Pay extra attention to fires, breakages and other accidents when using classrooms, club houses, and
university facilities. Should there be any accident, contact the University immediately.
On-campus Transportation
Since the Tsukuba campus possesses a vast property that consists of 5 areas (North Area, Central Area,
South Area, West Area and Kasuga Area), many students move around campus by bicycles (including
motorbikes and small motor vehicles), as well as cars used for commuting (by students and university staff,
etc.) and route buses and traffic by visitors. Thet makes the Tsukuba Campus a unique traffic environment.
Thus, the University has limited the speed on campus and has set up signs as necessary to ensure a safe
university environment as well as a favorable educational and research environment.
Bicycle and Motorbike Registration System

We have the Bicycle and Motorbike Registration System to solve parking space issues and traffic
troubles as many students move around campus by bicycles.
When students use bicycles and motorbikes in campus, apply for bicycle and motorbike registration at

On-campus Transportation System
The University of Tsukuba has introduced a campus transportation system convenient to the Universitys
students and staff that are commuting to school/work. The local bus service operated by Kanto Bus makes
140 roundtrips per day between the Tsukuba Center (at Tsukuba Station of the Tsukuba Express) and the
University. The regular bus fare from the Tsukuba Center to Tsukuba Daigaku Chuo is 270 yen; an annual
commuter pass for the same route costs 92,450 yen. The On-Campus Transportation System offers students
who purchase an annual pass for 8,600 yen unlimited transport to/from any bus stop on the route (see the
route map).
Students who wish to use this system must purchase a bus pass sticker (see image below) from any of the
six Maruzen bookstores on campus. (When purchasing the bus pass, you must show your student ID card).
You must then affix the pass (sticker) to your student ID card.
Note: For your reference, a one-way trip from Tsukuba Daigaku Chuo to Tsukuba Center normally costs
270 yen.
The Bus Pass expires on the last day of the academic year (March 31) and needs to be renewed for the
use in new academic year. Please note that you will be charged with misconduct if you use the expired pass
even if unintentionally.
*The penalty amount is as follows:
270 yen (maximum for one way) x 2 (both ways) x 2 x days (counting from April 1)

out-of-date inspection, and the University is taking action to prevent such cases. To maintain a favorable
campus environment, it is the owners responsibility to properly dispose of bicycles and vehicles no
longer in service.
43
Traffic Accidents
Many traffic accidents, which include tragic accidents resulting in personal injury or death, are caused by
students every year, and the number of accidents on and off-campus amount to more than 60 to 70 a year as
far as the University has been informed. Although the main causes are rudimentary, such as inattentiveness,
oversight of traffic signs and inexperienced driving, some are from drunk driving, significant speeding,
unlicensed driving and other antisocial cases. Moreover, accidents between bicycles or between bicycles
and pedestrians are increasing. Even bicycle collision may cause critical injury or residual disability, which
may be led to a lawsuit for damage compensation. Once an accident occurs, it can cause heavy mental and
financial burdens as well as academic disturbance to all concerned. Drivers should obey the traffic rules and
be extremely careful while driving. In order to avoid traffic accidents, students are expected to drive cars,
bikes, and bicycles carefully with the utmost attention.
Should an accident occur, the driver must calmly check the situation, conduct any necessary
rescues, take safety measures, report to the police and other necessary actions, and contact your class
instructor or the Academic Service Office immediately for advice.
Please pay close attention to notifications and traffic safety guidance from the University. It is our hope
that our students can have a safe and meaningful student life.
If a student caused a traffic accident resulting from a malicious breach of traffic rules (drunk driving,
significant speeding, and unlicensed driving), disciplinary action (disciplinary withdrawal, suspension and
admonitory warning) may result.

9 International Exchange and International

International Exchange ---90
International Exchange
The University of Tsukuba aims to develop professionals with a global perspective by providing
international exchange opportunities in a diverse set of academic disciplines. Through the enhancement
and development of such programs, we seek to raise the standard of our research and education to the
international level.
Based on that goal, we actively engage in various activities, such as inbound and outbound exchange of
students and staff, formation of overseas partnerships through exchange agreements, welcoming foreign
researchers, hosting of international conferences and symposia, and many more.
In particular, since many international students come to our university, we believe that this creates
an excellent opportunity to learn about different cultures and values. It is of great importance to foster
exchange based on mutual respect for diverse customs and beliefs. Only by ridding oneself of prejudice and
lowering your defenses will you be able to actively engage others. That is the first step toward globalization.
We hope you enjoy the cosmopolitan environment at our university to enrich your student years.

Student Commons Space for International Exchange
We have established the Global Commons to facilitate the development of cosmopolitan professionals.
Similarly, we have also set up the Student Commons to act as a community and exchange space for Japanese
and international students.
You may use the Student Commons for any of the following purposes:
Multimedia tools
For browsing through information on studying abroad, the
Student Commons offers free Wi-Fi and multiple computer
devices, such as iPads and a Big Pad, as well as a digital
signage system where we regularly post new information.
Organizing events
The space may be used for various events and lectures. It is
furnished with a screen and projector as well as desks and
chairs.
Learning English
A variety of resources and textbooks are available for
studying English. If you wish, you may also borrow them at
the counter.
Gathering information on studying abroad
Browse through the list of our overseas partner universities
or take a look at their brochures.
Receive help and counseling for study abroad programs
Graduate student adviser who has studied abroad will
provide information about studying abroad, and help with the
application documents.
Study Abroad
Studying abroad is an invaluable experience that allows students to nurture their cosmopolitan
sensibilities and broaden their perspectives. There are as many forms of studying abroad as there are
purposes. Some programs allow for attaining degrees, while others only allow for academic credit at the
home university through the credit transfer system. Some students study abroad to improve their language
skills, while some might only wish to experience different cultures.
Students wishing to study abroad have to begin their preparations early. Learning the language of the host
country, attending study abroad briefing sessions, gathering information from various sources, as well as
obtaining materials from the host university are just some of the necessary task. Therefore, careful planning
is very important.
