note	Essential of Fundamental Common Courses is an integrated class, and Master's Research Seminar and Doctoral Research Seminar can be divided according to field. Among the Essentials of Fundamental Common Courses, Introduction to Convergence Science and Technology is offered only every 1st semester, and Master's Research Seminar and Doctoral Research Seminar are only offered every 2nd semester. (Applied from the 2023 school year) Among the Essentials of Fundamental Common Courses, In the colloquium, master's and doctoral course students must complete Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, and combined master's and doctoral course students must complete Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,IV,V,VI sequentially. Among the elective majors, 'Special Research Methodology' can take up to 1 course for master's course students, 2 courses for doctoral course students, and 3 courses for combined master's and doctoral course students. Excess credits from Fundamental Common Courses are recognized as Selective Courses. For those who shorten the class period, research guidance credits are reduced by the amount of the shortened semester. Completion research students must complete the ‘Completion Research Guidance’ course.
