資格・修了要件

Y-GSAは入学定員18名の2年制プログラムの大学院修士課程です。必要単位を修得することで修士の学位を得ます。スタジオは必修で、半期ごとのスタジオで単位認定（各6単位）を受けます。異なる教員の4つのスタジオをすべて合格し、その他の関連科目や共通科目の受講単位との合計で40単位以上修得することがY-GSAが定める修了要件です。同時にふたつのスタジオを履修することはできません。スタジオひとつが不合格になると、半年間修了が延びます。4つのスタジオのうちひとつは、インターンシップによっても単位認定されます。修了に際して、修士論文および修士設計は課しませんが、ポートフォリオ審査を受けます。4つのスタジオの成果を通底するテーマについて書かれた小論文をもとに構成されたポートフォリオを提出、発表することが要求されます。

尚、上記のY-GSAの修了要件は、一級建築士試験の受験資格に必要な2年間の実務経験認定に係る修得単位数を満たしています。

Necessary Conditions for Qualification and Completion

At Y-GSA, students will qualify for a master's degree by acquiring the necessary credits. Studios are required. For completion of a term-long studio, a student acquires credits (six credits for each studio). A student (who enters the program in or after 2009) must pass four studios under different teachers and acquire at least 40 credits in all to complete the program. A student may not take two studios simultaneously. Failure in one studio will postpone completion of the program by half a year. A student may participate in an internship program in place of one studio and acquire an equivalent number of credits. No master's thesis or master's design is needed to complete the program, but at the end a student will be required to present a short essay on the content of the four studios he or she has taken and a portfolio of work in those studios.

Y-GSA is a two-year master's program with an enrollment of 18 students (maximum: 20) per year. Each student is required to take four studios in all. Four different studios begin simultaneously at the start of each term, in April and October. Students select studios after the nature of each studio has been explained by faculty. To complete the master's program, a student must take and pass four studios under different teachers. Each of them have to acquire at least 40 credits in all to complete the program and pass inspection of their portfolio. As a rule, a faculty member will provide guidance in a studio twice a week, and intermediate and final reviews will be held during each term. Participation in the "Internship Program" can be substituted for one of the four required studios. The "Internship Program" offers practical training in an architectural office in Japan or overseas. To take part in the program, a student must be interviewed by the studio committee, the office at which the student will train must be approved, and the student's qualification must be examined.

The Y-GSA curriculum is designed so that, by fulfilling the abovementioned conditions, students acquire the credits for two years of practical experience necessary before they can take a first-class architect examination.

Y-GSAでは、博士課程後期の学生も募集しています。課程博士では、都市イノベーション学府都市イノベーション専攻への所属となります。博士課程後期では、将来自律した建築家として社会で活動する人のために、基軸となる視座を構築することを目指します。
