Graduate School of Advanced Science and Technology

Develops engineers who possess broad vision, international perspectives, and strong research and knowledge-creation capabilities

The Graduate School of Advanced Science and Technology encourages students to acquire sufficient abilities to independently conduct research activities with a broad vision in an internationally competitive research environment. The School develops engineers with highly creative research and development capabilities, as well as university-level teachers who possess skills in both teaching and research, who are qualified to support research institutions in every sector of industry, academia, and government.
The School comprises eight majors, but the wall separating these majors is permeable; professors and students can easily acquire information about relevant fields. There are also various research organizations affiliated with the university, and truly cutting-edge research programs are under way through international research collaborations.
Moreover, the Graduate School has proven itself capable of responding quickly to the mergers, collaborations, and combinations of research activities necessary for the advancement of research in both interdisciplinary and merging fields, and for the advancement of the international joint research that will be increasingly required in the future and for the development of new research fields. To promote communications with the world beyond the campus, the School also actively recommends participation in activities of academic societies and international conferences, and offers financial assistance for such participation. The School provides an environment for teachers and students to focus on their research activities.
