Fostering Creativity and Allowing Early Initiation of Research
We foster students' creativity and problem-solving skills through active learning so that each one of them can gather information and apply his or her ingenuity to solving problems. In addition, students are encouraged to visit laboratories and begin research early in their bachelor's program, as this practice has become institutionalized.

Studying Abroad and Internships
A set of well-established international exchange programs and short-term study programs with other institutions are available, in which undergraduate students are encouraged to participate. Taking part in internships at companies is also encouraged. Credits will be awarded in recognition of these activities.

Early Enrollment in Graduate-Level Courses
Because most students continue to study at the graduate level, the School allows them to take graduate-level courses while still in the fourth year of their undergraduate program, as well as to graduate early, if eligible.
