To all new students

At University, computers are increasingly used for writing reports and conducting research activities. Many of you may be considering purchasing a personal computer upon admission.
Since the 2020 academic year, the University of Tsukuba has introduced online courses and has continued to implement a curriculum that combines face-to-face and online instruction.
