In order for AUN/SEED-Net students to produce high quality thesis research of international standard and to ensure the completion of the master's degree within two years, AUN/SEED-Net provides vital support, in terms of financial and academic, through joint thesis research supervision, to AUN/SEED-Net Master's students at all Host Institutions. The joint thesis research supervision will be carried out through the Collaborative Research Program, which has been created by each Host Institution for a few well-defined research themes (or research umbrellas) in consultation with Japanese Field Coordinating University, each of which is a collection of interrelated and progressively conducted thesis research topics. Each AUN/SEED-Net student (including doctoral sandwich student) shall conduct thesis research under one of these research themes.
Besides, according to AUN/SEED-Net Students' Mobility scheme which is promoted to enable students to benefit educationally and culturally from the experience of learning at other Member Institution(s), Master's students may be supported to take a course(s) or conduct research at other Member Institution(s) for a short period. Students are advised to consult with their advisors and Host Institution on the necessity, possibility and procedures of their mobility.
Those who complete this Master's Degree Program with outstanding thesis research are encouraged to pursue a doctoral degree in one of the above nine fields either at Japanese Supporting Universities under the "Doctoral Degree Program in Japan", or at Host Institutions (in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand) under the "Doctoral Degree Sandwich Program" with co-supervision by Japanese professors, or at the two Singaporean universities (NTU & NUS) under "Doctoral Degree Program in Singapore" .
