Teaching Certificate【all】

At GIS, middle and high school teacher’s licenses (in English) can be obtained by students who enrolled at Hosei University up until the 2020 academic year. However, the teacher’s license program has been abolished from 2021 entrants. Therefore, the teacher’s license can’t be obtained even if a student takes a GIS course as a special register student (科目等履修生) after graduating. Students who wish to obtain a teacher’s license (limited to students who entered university up to the 2020 academic year) must obtain the necessary credits for teaching before graduation.
If a student has been studying abroad from their 4th year, they can obtain the teacher’s license when they graduate if all necessary courses have been completed before graduating.

GIS では、2020 年度入学者まで中学・高校の教員免許状（英語）が取得できますが、2021 年度入学者 より、教員免許の課程を廃止いたしました。そのため、卒業後に科目等履修生として GIS の科目を履修しても、教員免許は取得できません。教員免許取得を希望する方（2020 年度までの入学者に限る）は、必ず卒業までに、教職で必要な単位を取得してください。 なお、留学等で 4 年以上在籍する場合は、在学中に必要な科目を全て修得すれば、卒業と同時に教員免 許状を取得することができます。
