DEGREE & CREDIT REQUIREMENTS

Degree paths and requirements,
in one view

The table brings together degree credits, credits accepted from other departments, prerequisites, standard study periods, and the published grade threshold for the master’s, doctoral, and integrated MS–PhD paths. Prerequisite credits do not count toward graduation and may be assigned to students entering from another discipline or degree field.

LATEST PUBLISHED REGULATIONS · EFFECTIVE SEP. 1, 2025

The most recent Department of Precision Medicine curriculum regulations available to the public took effect on September 1, 2025. The regulations that apply can differ by admission year, so ask the department which version applies to you.

THESIS & RESEARCH

Thesis and
Research Requirements

A public presentation takes place in the semester when a student submits the degree thesis. A master’s presentation is attended by at least three full-time faculty members, including the advisor. Doctoral and integrated-program presentations are attended by at least five people, including one external full-time faculty member or researcher.

01 · MASTER’S

Journal Article or Conference Presentation

Students must either publish at least one article in an approved journal as a lead or co-author, or complete its submission for publication. A lead-author presentation at an academic conference is accepted as an alternative.

02 · DOCTORAL · INTEGRATED

Lead-Author Record in International Journals

Students need at least one lead-author article published or accepted for publication in an SCIE-, SSCI-, or A&HCI-indexed journal. They must also satisfy one of the following: three or more papers with IF 2.0+, a combined IF of 10.0+ across published papers, or two papers within the top 20% of JCR.

Public Thesis Presentation

The presentation takes place in the thesis-submission semester. A passing result remains valid for five consecutive semesters. Check that semester’s academic notices and regulations for the detailed procedure.
