We aim to acquire the basic and professional knowledge to forge a future society, to understand different areas of expertise, and to uncover global academic and social challenges and implementing solutions.

This program provides the subjects to cultivate a literacy, competency, and international competitiveness, as well as to learn wide range of disciplines.

In particular, the following will be conducted.

• Internships working together with practitioners in companies (2 to 6 months).
• Doctoral-level PBL which involves working on challenges proposed by the industries.
• Summer camps where participants will be able to discuss international joint research proposals together with doctoral students from global top-level universities.

Through these activities, we are working to enable coordination among researchers and engineers who occupy different positions regarding the areas of societal implementation, the development of component technology and fundamental research.

We plan to offer international opportunities as below, to establish a network and to improve participants’ communication skills.

• Going overseas independently to hone their skills (Overseas Musha-shugyo)
• International joint research
• International workshops with overseas institutes and companies.

Through these activities, we will develop human resources capable of both developing their own expertise knowledge and abilities to a higher level while also designing networks that extend into the creation of future society and foreign links with a wide variety of major players, based on these new patterns of innovation and on connecting with areas of expertise other than their own.

We guarantee the global standard quality of research and education by selection examinations, qualifying examinations (QEs), and final examinations (FSs). This program will aim to take a flexible approach in terms of the positioning and timing of master’s theses.

The students on this course will have the opportunity to receive economic support such as financial subsidies and assistance with research costs provided for Research Assistants (RA). We are also considering welcoming into the course participants from doctoral programs who, during the course of practical work in the world of industry, have developed a renewed awareness of the value of a doctoral degree.
