Characteristics of Correspondence Course
Correspondence Course are regular university education courses that provide a place of study for people who have difficulty commuting to university due to geographical or time constraints.
Upon graduation, students will receive the same "Bachelor of Engineering (Engineering)" degree as the regular course. Correspondence Course that allow you to obtain an engineering degree are rare even in Japan.
At Teikyo University's Department of Information Science, you can systematically learn information science from universal basic knowledge to applied technology.
Learning style according to motivation and purpose for learning

Flow from application to graduation
Three learning methods for Correspondence Course
Learn with e-learning (LMS) content using the Internet.
Passing all the assignments in the on-demand teaching materials will qualify you to take the subject acquisition exam.
Students will study based on designated texts and reference books and write reports based on their assignments.
Passing the specified number of assignments will qualify you to take the subject acquisition exam.
A combination of face-to-face classes and LMS-based learning will be held over 3 or 2 weekends.
The venue is Tokyo. However, only "teaching practice guidance" and "teaching practical training" will be conducted in Tochigi Prefecture.
Model flow of study curriculum

Voices of current students
Learn work and life at a correspondence university
Enriching working students
I am currently studying computer science to improve my professionalism as a software engineer.
I put the knowledge I learned to use in my work.
Teikyo University Faculty of Science and Engineering
Department of Information Science Correspondence Course 4th year
Mr. Ohme Miyazaki
Working at an IT company
I graduated from the Faculty of Liberal Arts and currently work as a backend engineer.
Up until now, I have studied computer science on my own, but in order to acquire the correct knowledge as an engineer, I enrolled in the Teikyo University Correspondence Course, which allows me to learn computer science from the basics while working, and aims to obtain a bachelor's degree (engineering). I have enrolled.
Recommended subjects
This course teaches methods for analyzing problems using figures using points and lines. The purpose is to clarify the properties of graphs and to analyze abstracted phenomena and phenomena using graphs. I have experience in developing systems that handle location information, but by learning graph theory, I was able to understand the theoretical underpinnings and develop my application skills.
There are various ethical issues that engineers and researchers with specialized knowledge should consider. We will discuss the ethical issues faced by engineers, with reference to specific cases. Up until now, I had not had the opportunity to learn about the ethics of engineers, so I was glad that I was able to enroll in university and study this subject.
Future aspirations
As the school year progresses, I will be able to study more specialized subjects, so I am really looking forward to the future. Although I can't say that I am fully fulfilled as I have only just begun the journey toward my career goal, I feel that I am getting closer to my goal every day. First of all, I want to graduate from university as soon as possible and realize my goal.
1 week study schedule
I wake up at 5am and study until 9am before work on weekdays and until 12pm on weekends. I basically spend my weekend afternoons studying, but I also try to talk to my friends about my situation and make sure they understand so that my relationships with them don't deteriorate because of studying.
The good thing about online classes is that you can relearn things you didn't understand.

Features of
This is a correspondence graduate Graduate School for people who want to learn deeply about information science, including those who work in information-related occupations. We aim to develop information engineers with practical comprehensive skills who can respond to rapid technological innovation in the information field. In Graduate School, you will research a topic that interests you and compile a master's thesis. Upon completion, you will receive a Master's degree in Engineering. After completing your studies, you can advance to the doctoral program (on-campus program) at Graduate School school and aim to obtain a doctoral degree by continuing your research while receiving guidance.
The learning content consists of three groups: "Division of Informatics Science Subjects", "Special Seminars" and "Special Research" for master's research. In addition to information control engineering and wireless information and communication engineering, you can also study new areas such as cryptography and information security theory, biological information processing theory, and intelligent system theory.
You can choose from a variety of research themes under the guidance of faculty who have been active on the front lines of research and development at companies and research institutions in the information and communications field, as well as faculty with extensive experience who have been involved in education and research at universities for many years. Interactive instruction will be provided using a web conferencing system between faculty and graduate students at their convenience.
