If students are unable to pass the foregoing rules of the English attainment tests in two study years, they can then apply for the following remedial measures (one of two choices):

b.  From the fifth semester, students can take "Advanced English" class for one year and score 70 or above.

Students should start to make appointments with a full-time department teaching staff member (including jointly appointed) within the second semester of the first study year and hand in the declaration of their supervising professor's consent at the end of the semester; the thesis committee shall then confirm it. A teacher in the department can recommend a teacher of another department or another school to jointly guide the student.

Any change in supervising professor(s) needs to be applied for and then the thesis committee shall confirm it.

Oral examination committee members for the Master's thesis shall total 3-5 people. One-third of the committee should be external examiners of which the supervising professor(s) of the student is included in the external examiners’ reference list. After the thesis committee selects the external examiners, these people are then appointed by the dean. If students have two supervising professors, then there must be at least four members on the oral examination committee.

The thesis committee is formed by 2-4 people who are elected by all full-time departments teaching staff, with the dean of the department as the convener. They are responsible for thesis guiding conferences, "Seminars on International Business", and the oral examination of the Master's thesis.

i.   Students must speak verbal English to report the thesis proposal in the course of "Seminars on International Business".

ii.　Students need to verbally report the complete thesis in the "Seminars on International Business". During the student’s report of the thesis, the supervising professor(s) of the student and the internal oral examiners shall attend the seminar. Two-thirds of all attending members must agree on the thesis report.

If the thesis proposal or the complete thesis is not passed, then the student must report on it the next time.

Students must take three courses in economics, statistics, and accounting if they have not taken them before admission. Approval must come from the Master degree committee.

Students are not allowed to enroll in more than 15 course credits each term and must fulfill at least 36 course credits from the department within the study years.
