A syllabus describes what the students will learn in the subject and to which it relates. However, it is difficult to understand the relationships between subjects by referring to the syllabus alone. In this paper, the researcher proposes a two-step method to visualize the relationship between subjects. The first step is to visualize the relationship between subjects that use the same keywords in the syllabus. The second step is to find the co-occurrence pairs of the courses taken from the course registration information and to visualize the relationship between the courses. Using course registration information involves the handling of students’ privacy information. The proposed method was applied to the syllabus and course registration data of the graduate school, and the results were considerable.
