Students will gain experience utilizing highly specialized knowledge and skills, which will give them the ability to solve advanced problems in applied chemistry. Our aim is to produce researchers and engineers who are aware of their social and environmental responsibilities, and highly skilled professionals who open new industries and civilizations.

The Master's Program develops independent chemistry researchers and engineers who understand the basic properties and responsiveness of substances at atomic and molecular levels; master advanced chemical engineering systems that convert substances to more useful materials such as polymers; can resolve advanced problems in various fields based on their expertise; and can use their leadership skills to be successful in a global arena.

Building on the basic knowledge of applied molecular chemistry, chemical system engineering, and polymer science learned in the Undergraduate Program, students systematically learn advanced knowledge and techniques based on the latest research in each developing field. In addition, students' expertise and creativity are developed further by broadening their knowledge and techniques through Research-Related Courses and by conducting research through Research Seminars and master's thesis research.

Scholarships

MEXT Scholarship(University Recommendation -SGU-)

Applicants with outstanding academic performance records have the chance to apply for the Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship. The scholarship provides a monthly stipend, \147,000 (JPY) for Master's Program students and \148,000 (JPY) for Doctoral Program students. (*This stipend is subject to change as specified by the regulations of the MEXT Scholarship program.) Traveling expenses are not provided from MEXT. This scholarship will be paid from April 2017 to March 2018 (12 months). The scholarship period can be extended under some conditions specified by MEXT. Successful MEXT Scholarship recipients are not required to pay admission or tuition fees. The number of awards is very limited.

NOTE: The applicant will be required to withdraw from the scholarship if he/she is applying to more than one program which will be supported by MEXT scholarship or he/she is applying to Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) scholarship and MEXT scholarship simultaneously.

JASSO

Applicants who enroll in Tokyo Tech without other scholarship have the chance to apply for the "Monbukagakusho Honors Scholarship for Privately Financed International Students" from the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO).

Please note that those who are granted any other scholarship cannot apply to receive this scholarship simultaneously. The monthly amount of this scholarship is ¥48,000 (JPY). The monthly amount is subject to change as specified by JASSO. This scholarship will be paid from April, 2017 to March, 2018 (12 months).
