It is not a stand alone course held in the evening or on weekends, but rather a condensed version of a master’s program that normally takes two years to complete. This allows students to focus on reflecting back on their own activities, learn about related fields and topics, and be able to effectively verbalize their findings. In addition, through working as teams with other students in the same year, students can build relationships that will continue even after the completion of the program.

This course is for students who wish to take a new step forward by reflecting on their past work productions, social activities, or research and development at a company, etc., relating them to existing knowledge and research areas through feedback from faculty members and students from various backgrounds, and thoroughly verbalizing their activities, ideas, and positions as a master’s thesis.
In addition, it is necessary to meet with the faculty member you wish to receive research guidance from beforehand, discuss the contents of your research and put it in writing, obtain approval for receiving guidance for your master’s research, and then receive a “Research Guidance Approval Form” from that faculty member.

Of the classes listed in the “Master’s Program Courses” section, the introductory classes and special research classes are offered in a condensed schedule for this course. All their classes are the same as those offered to students who are in the two year program.

In order for the course to be considered completed, in addition to having completed over 30 credits and receiving the necessary research guidance, they must pass the final review of their master’s thesis or their master’s thesis and master’s work, as well as a final examination.
The degree given to those who complete the 1 year course is the same degree (Master of Media Creation) given to students who have completed the 2 year course.
