With an aim to foster human resources who can serve the advancement of Physics and associated fields and contribute to developing human society and conserving the global environment by using expertise, the Physics Division (Master’s Program) sets standards for the skills and knowledge students should acquire before graduation 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 science can impact human society and the global environment
2. The ability to acquire expertise that enables one to play an active role at the forefront of Physics and associated fields as well as to develop new technologies and explore new fields
3. A level of English proficiency that enables high performance in society and accommodates further developments in globalization
4. The competency to clearly understand the positioning of own research in light of prior researches, handle theories and data with the right methodologies, analyze the research results in detail, and write academic papers and a master’s thesis that objectively describe the value of research findings

Doctoral Program

With an aim to foster human resources who have acquired high expertise in Physics as well as the interdisciplinary competence to comprehensively understand the associated impacts on human society and the global environment, and can thus conduct research and development independently in their field of expertise,
the Physics 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. The ability to multidimensionally identify how science can affect human society and the global environment, acquired by studying not only one’s disciplinary specialty, but also a wide range of disciplines, including associated interdisciplinary fields
2. The ability to acquire expertise that enables one to independently play an active role at the forefront of Physics and associated fields as well as to creatively conduct research and development that will contribute to human evolution and wellbeing
3. A level of English proficiency that enables one to stand on the forefront of globalization and independently lead international society
4. The competency to clearly understand the positioning of one’s own research in light of prior researches, handle theories and data with the right methodologies, analyze the research results in detail, and write academic papers and a doctoral thesis that objectively describe the value of the research findings

Curriculum Policy

Master’s Program

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

 

1. Students will take courses in divisions other than Physics 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 Physics Division, including those associated with condensed matter physics, optical physics, and atoms and molecules to acquire expertise in these disciplines. 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 Physics Division (Doctoral Program) seeks to cultivate the ability to independently conduct research and development based on high expertise in Physics 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 Physics to acquire broad knowledge of these disciplines
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
