Open graduate schools that respond to the tide of a new era

Until now, in addition to new university graduates, we have accepted and sent out a variety of members, including active members of society and retired employees, mainly in the Shimonoseki area, and international students from Korea and China. The feature of this graduate school is that the small number of people. We have established an environment in which graduate students can exchange opinions based on their knowledge and experience, stimulate each other, and have a friendly support system such as lectures and research guidance by professors on day and night.

We also provide research guidance and classes at night, Saturdays, and holidays, when working adults are easy to learn. By combining intensive lectures during the holidays (summer and winter), we will organize a timetable that allows you to acquire the necessary credits.

We look forward to your challenge to improve your career in this graduate school.

Theoretical study on accounting fraud issues - focusing on information disclosure systems-

After deciding to go to graduate school, when preparing a research plan, I deeply thought about how to read related books and make use of what I learned at the seminar.
Currently, in the research I am doing, using "game theory" in the field of economics, you can find which one is best to choose if there are multiple options. We are also conducting research on how to apply this field to prevent accounting fraud. It can be guessed that the individual or company has a great advantage, so it can be guessed that fraud will work, but by introducing appropriate accounting regulations here, it can be prevented beforehand. The concept of “game theory” can be widely applied to business.
In the future, we will be involved in supporting accounting offices as an IT engineer, but we will make full use of the knowledge gained through research and the knowledge acquired in IT, marketing, management theory, etc. to promote services. I want to go.

Analysis of the effects of physical and human environmental factors on concept formation in 1.2-year-old children-centered on data from CRAYON BOOK

During the operation of the nursery school, there was no specific content of what kind of education was needed at the nursery site. Therefore, we conducted research with the aim of helping nursery teachers and child-rearing families by analyzing and considering using the "CRAYON BOOK", a tool that visualizes what kind of environment children will grow up. It was often understood for the first time that the analysis of the behavior of children growing every day was not always the same result, but when the hypothesis made in the research and the analysis results were connected, such steady efforts were made to raise children. I realized that it could be useful. At graduate school, I was able to deepen my learning with seminar members of different research content, age, and occupation, reaffirming the meaning of the 100-year life era and led to confidence.
Currently, I am managing it at childcare sites, and I would like to continue my research so that nursery teachers can understand and respond to the growth that has been visualized through research.
