International Graduate Course

Research on biological science and technology is now facing a fierce competition worldwide. One of the important challenges in the field is to foster human resources with enough skills to develop and perform the various core technologies of global standards. Regarding the outstanding development in Asia especially in the field, it has a great significance that Tokyo Institute of Technology takes a leading role in fostering high-level human resources. In such global dynamics, Graduate School of Bioscience and Biotechnology launches a new program "International Course for Bioscience and Biotechnology" for within our Integrated Doctoral Education Program, which aims to foster mainly the excellent Asian students in its various and sophisticated educational programs by letting them learn the forefront of science and technology which will become a base of medical and environmental industries and the future important fields relative to bioscience and biotechnology. At the same time, by deepening an exchange between international students and Japanese students, we turn out high level researchers and engineers who will flourish as leaders nationally and globally. The program Commences on October in every year, and the applicants file their applications for the enrollment until December in the year before. The contents relating to student education are basically conducted all in English.
