9Ⅰ FeaturesⅡ History and ProfileⅢ RequirementsCONTENTS Three Fundamental PoliciesDiploma Policy FSE offers two majors: Mathematical Sciences (MS) and Computer Science and Communications Engineering (CSCE). In MS, students study the fundamentals of science as well as specialist mathematical theories and applications. In CSCE, students study the various theories and technologies related to information and communications in today’s information society. In order to graduate, students must enroll in one of these majors, complete the required courses, complete the specialized courses in their major, and earn the number of credits required for graduation. MS students will receive a Bachelor of Science or Engineering degree, and CSCE students will receive a Bachelor of Engineering degree. Additionally, students who complete one of minors will receive certification to that effect.Curriculum Policy FSE offers two major programs, MS and CSCE, both of which are of an international standard, and both of which are designed to foster internationally-fluent future members of society. FSE also allows students the flexibility to study minors, thus extending the depth and breadth of their specialist knowledge.Admission Policy In line with Waseda University’s founding principle, “the preservation of the independence of scholarship,” FSE invites applications from a wide range of researchers and engineers from Japan and overseas who have the desire to acquire advanced knowledge, and who are capable of leading society and looking to impact the future of science and technology. Applicants will be selected based on their ability to study a science and technology curriculum in English, in order to obtain an English degree, and also based on their motivation to master the theoretical and practical abilities necessary in order to tackle both general and specialized courses. To this end, FSE considers it a prerequisite that applicants not only have a reasonable command of English but also have basic academic skills at a high-school level or equivalent. FSE will also take into consideration the applicant’s personal character, such as whether or not they have the communication skills required to play an active role on the world stage.
