In the natural world, there are countless mysterious phenomena that are still not completely understood, including familiar objects, microscopic objects at an elementary particle/atomic level, and large-scale objects related to outer space. In the Graduate Major, we conduct world-leading research with the goals of (1) discovering the fundamental principles and laws hidden in these phenomena, (2) deepening our understanding of the natural world, and (3) developing basic knowledge and technology that will contribute to society.

In the Master's Program, we foster individuals who have the ability to resolve a wide range of issues in the natural world and society based on knowledge of physics, and who are able to succeed in a global society.

As a graduate course, in addition to core lectures in each specialized field of physics, the curriculum is organized for cultivating practical skills for problem solving and international communication. Systematically study the latest research and more advanced concepts in the fields of particle-, nuclear-, and astro-physics and condensed matter physics, building on the fundamental knowledge acquired in the Undergraduate Program. Common courses that contain training for improving presentation skills are also offered, and these are structured so that expertise is developed through independently conducting research for Research Seminars and master's theses.
