Group Ⅵ
Outline
- Group VI is an entrance examination selection framework in which the department group is undecided at the time of admission. The department group will be decided at the end of first-grade period by your desire and your scores of the classes. You can think about your course and career and then offer your desire department group through activities in group VI.
- In group VI, you can take "lectures introducing the fields of each department group", ask seniors at "exchange meetings with seniors", and ask questions to faculties directly at "laboratory tours". Through these special activities in group VI, you can get useful information of the department group for your career choice.
- In the first grade period, all department groups take "Common Education Courses in the Faculty of Engineering", so there is no disadvantage for group VI students in terms of learning compared to students in other groups I to V.
