To all new students

In Universities, computers are increasingly used for writing report and research activities. Probably many people are considering about purchasing a personal computer to take the opportunity of admission.
The University of Tsukuba implemented online courses in the 2020 academic year, and has been implementing a curriculum that combines face-to-face and online courses since then.

Therefore, it is recommended that you have your own personal computer (notebook type, tablet type) and prepare for the communication environment at the time of admission.

Students of our University can use the following software free of charge on their personal computers, etc.

• Trend Micro antivirus software
• Microsoft Products（Enrollment for Education Solution（EES））
• SPSS site license, Mathematica、ArcGIS, etc. Please check our website for more details.

Important
If it is difficult for you to prepare your own computer due to financial situations, the university may be able to lend you a computer, so please consult with your educational organization first.
