Teaching Assistants

 

Waseda University’s teaching assistant (TA) system is actually designed for graduate students to offer academic advice to undergraduate students and help them when they conduct experiments, engage in practical exercises, and attend seminars. In return for providing such educational support, TAs are given an allowance. The TA system provides graduate  students with the opportunity to gain experience that will help them become teaching staff or professional researchers while receiving financial support.  Waseda University is striving to improve the quality of the system.

Students eligible for the TA system
Master and Doctoral program students (Research Associates are not eligible.)

Allowance and teaching hours
JPY 1,100 per hour for teaching is paid.  Maximum 12 hours per week is allowed to work.
