本学大学院国際協力学研究科博士前期課程では、２年間の正規修業年限内に学位論文を提出し、修士の学位を取得できる研究指導体制を整えており、２年次には修士論文について中間発表を行うことを定めています。

修論中間発表会では、学生が研究目的及び学問上の貢献、先行研究とそれとの違い、分析内容を論文内容として整え発表し、１２月中旬までに発表会で得られたアドバイスや質問、疑問点などを論文に織り込んで内容の修正を行います。

今年度は７月９日（土）、本学文京キャンパスE館教室にて国際開発専攻２９名、安全保障専攻９名が発表しました。会場では発表学生と教員、参加者にて活発に質疑応答が行われ、発表学生は自身の研究内容を更に深める機会となりました。　
　

Students enrolled in the first-term doctoral course of Takushoku University Graduate School of International Cooperation Studies are requested to submit master’s thesis before completion of its two-year formal program to earn a master’s degree. In the course, students are required to make an interim presentation of their thesis in the second year of the program.

In the interim presentation, students are requested to discuss objectives of their research, their possible contributions to scholarship, previous studies in the similar field and differences from them, as well as preview of results of their analyses. Subsequently, students are requested to revise their drafts by incorporating comments and advice as well as questions raised during the presentation by mid-December.

This year altogether 39 students (30 from the International Development Studies course and 9 from the International Security Studies course) made interim presentations on Saturday, July 9, in Building E of the university’s Bunkyo campus. Highly lively exchanges took place between presenters and attending instructors as well as other participants, providing presenters with an opportunity to learn a lot from the exchanges, which would be utilized in further pursuant of their studies.
