Abstract
In Japan, the education of graduate students in universities is done mainly by colloquia and by research performance for their theses or dissertations. Therefore, lecture-type classes are few. In the Institute (a unique university in Japan, which has a department and a course mainly related to acoustics), the above-mentioned conditions are quite similar to other universities. However, the Institute has more acoustical subjects (nine in acoustics and three in musicology, total number of credits = 32) than other universities in Japan. Usually, these have only one or two, as minor subjects, in the electric or electronic engineering course or in the architectual engineering course. Subjects in the Institute program have been carefully selected with the intention of producing acoustic engineers with a deep understanding of nature and the characteristics of humans and the society. Accordingly, almost half of the subjects are related to psychological acoustics, and about one third to musicology. However, the Institute's aim is not to graduate professional musicians or psychologists.
