Master’s Program

With an aim to foster human resources that broadly understand various biological phenomena and has the expertise to contribute to the advancement of biological science and knowledge applicable to interdisciplinary research fields, and can thus contribute to human society the Biological Science Division (Master’s Program) sets standards for the skills and knowledge students should acquire before graduation e as described below: Those who fulfill the requirements and pass their thesis defense shall be deemed to have acquired these qualities and will be awarded a diploma.

 

1. The ability to multidimensionally identify how technology can impact human society and the global environment, acquired by studying a wide range of disciplines, including natural science disciplines beyond one’s disciplinary specialty and life ethics and other issues
2. The ability to explore the unknown field of “life” that will be fostered by Graduate students by acquiring various research techniques, delve into their fields of expertise and attend diverse lectures
3. A level of English proficiency that enables high performance in society and accommodates further developments in globalization
4. The ability to write logical and persuasive academic papers with an appropriate structure and clear research findings and evaluation

Doctoral Program

With an aim to foster human resources with high research abilities in Biological Science and widely applicable expertise who can strongly promote basic research in biological science, the Biological Science Division (Doctoral Program) sets standards for the skills and knowledge students should acquire before graduation as described below: Those who fulfill the requirements and pass their dissertation defense shall be deemed to have acquired these qualities and will be awarded a diploma.

 

1. Well-balanced knowledge, acquired through extensive learning including the natural sciences and interdisciplinary fields such as life sciences
2. The ability to acquire state-of-the-art expertise that enables one to independently play an active role in one’s research field as well as to conduct creative research that will contribute to the development of Biological Science
3. A level of English proficiency that enables one to stand on the forefront of globalization and independently lead international society
4. The ability to complete a doctoral thesis with standard that is high enough to contribute to the own specialized field and with originality after going through presentations at academic societies and contributions and adoptions of own papers to and by international journals

Curriculum Policy

Master’s Program

The Biological Science Division (Master’s Program) seeks to cultivate the ability to contribute to the further development of Biological Science and associated disciplines, as well as to the development of human society and global environment conservation, by having students take courses in Biological Science and other divisions and receive research guidance.

 

1. Students will take courses in divisions other than Biological Science as well as general science and engineering courses to acquire broad knowledge of disciplines other than their disciplinary specialty
2. Students will take courses offered by the Biological Science Division on molecules, cells and the individual level to acquire cutting edge expertise on life. Furthermore, they will conduct research on a specific theme; and therefore acquire profound professional knowledge of their theme in a broad context and learn about research procedures, organization and ethics
3. Students will improve their English proficiency by taking English for Science and Technology and English-taught courses, presenting research outcomes in English, and writing academic papers in English

Doctoral Program

The Biological Science Division (Doctoral Program) seeks to cultivate the ability to independently conduct research and development based on high expertise in Biological Science and broad knowledge of associated fields, by having students take Seminars and receive research guidance

 

1. Students will read academic papers and commentaries in interdisciplinary fields other than Biological Science to acquire broad knowledge of life sciences
2. Students will conduct intensive research supported by research guidance provided by faculty; and therefore acquire profound expertise of their theme in a broad context, learn about research procedures, organization and ethics, and submit their dissertation as a culmination of their research
3. Students will present their research outcomes in Japan and overseas in English, compile and submit academic papers in English, and conduct research at overseas institutions as required; and therefore, they will actively improve their communication skills
