Master Students
The First Semester
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The MA Japan Studies Year In Japan information meeting will be held on 14 September 2011 from 15.00-17.00 in Huizingha/023b. The meeting will inform all MA students of the application procedures and requirements for their year in Japan. Attendance at the meeting is mandatory for all MA students and will be recorded.
MA Thesis
It might seem far away, but you have to start thinking about your thesis from the very beginning. Each student must submit a brief description of their research interests by October 1.
Year in Japan
Students depart for Japan in late March, soon after the Thesis Workshop (23 March, 2012). Before your departure make sure to make the necessary arrangements for the re-enrollment for your second year, which will begin in September 2012 (while you are in Japan!). Formal responsibilities during the year in situ include submitting the Japanese Language Acquisition Plan, maintaining a close contact with your thesis supervisor (at least once in every 1-2 months), and reporting on the progress of your thesis through the Dissertation Progress Reports.
