Graduate School<\/h2>\r\n

There is no end to research in science and technology. In the highly networked information society, the latest technologies and systems can be distributed in moments. In such a situation, the necessary knowledge and skills accordingly change day to day. Graduate school is a place where students can gain the latest knowledge and deepen their thoughts. Students gradually formulate and consolidate their future visions through master\u2019s and doctoral course studies.<\/p>\r\n<\/section>\r\n

Expectations for graduate school education<\/h4>\r\n

In the 4-year undergraduate program, students learn academic fundamentals and gain basic skills in each respective school. However, to respond to the complexity and sophistication of science and technology, knowledge and skills beyond those gained in undergraduate studies are necessary. To promote Japan as a science and technology-oriented nation, graduate schools are expected to send off many students trained at the graduate level, and who are internationally minded, creative and capable of problem-solving, into society.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Graduate school education and research<\/h4>\r\n

While emphasis in graduate education is placed on advanced classes and seminars using documents and articles in foreign languages, there is also a focus on developing presentation skills, with lessons conducted in small classes. Naturally, master\u2019s theses are important in fostering creativity and problem-solving skills,
\r\n and students present their research outcomes at, for example, academic meetings or scientific societies. Companies also take notice of our human resource development, and we maintain an employment success rate of nearly 100%.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Many activities and opportunities abroad<\/h4>\r\n

In the graduate school, students conduct their own research in their respective special field. They have an opportunity to present their research results at various scientific societies not only in Japan, but also abroad. In addition, students are given a chance to go abroad for research to do field studies, for example. The university provides financial assistance reimbursing some of the travel expenses in such occasions. Having many contacts with partners abroad is a major feature of the graduate school.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

TA and RA systems:
\r\nSimulated learning, as teacher or researcher<\/h4>\r\n

In our \u201cTeaching Assistant (TA) System,\u201d excellent students enrolled in the graduate school have an opportunity to assist faculty members in teaching undergraduate students, such as in experiments, practical training or seminars, with remuneration from the university. Serving as a TA allows graduate students to refresh their basic knowledge while gaining leadership and teaching experience. The \u201cResearch Assistant (RA) System\u201d allows excellent students enrolled in a doctoral program to participate and assist in research projects, with remuneration from the university. While striving to promote research activities and the enhancement of research-related systems, graduate students can refine and improve their skills and knowledge as young researchers. Both systems provide financial support for the betterment of students\u2019 campus life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
