The Graduate School of Science and Technology is a comprehensive graduate school in the areas of science, engineering and agriculture. Meticulous education is provided in order to nurture richly creative people with excellent research abilities and a broad perspective on the world.
Please note: Starting in April 2026, the Graduate School of Science and Technology and the Graduate School of Modern Society and Culture will be integrated to establish the new Graduate School of Integrated Arts and Sciences (Master’s Program). This new graduate school will offer two majors:
- Master's Program of Sciences and Technologies
- Master's Program of Humanities and Social Sciences
For more details about the new graduate school, please visit HERE.
Please note the following:
- The Master’s Programs in both the Graduate School of Science and Technology and the Graduate School of Modern Society and Culture will no longer accept new students beginning in the 2026 academic year.
- The Doctoral Programs in both graduate schools will continue to admit students for the time being; however, they are scheduled to be reorganized into the Doctoral Program of the Graduate School of Integrated Arts and Sciences in April 2028.
