Nagoya University Global Environmental Leaders Program (NUGELP) was established to develop environmental experts who are able to identify and analyze environmental problems from a global and holistic perspective, and propose practical measures to solve them in the world, focusing on Asia and Africa.
Two departments hosting the program (Department of Environmental Engineering and Architecture in the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, and the Department of Civil Engineering in the Graduate School of Engineering) will accept graduate students and train them to be environmental leaders, through close partnership with cooperating departments, including the Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences and Graduate School of International Development.
NUGELP is operated based on the following targets.

  • Systematic operation of the Global Environmental Leaders Program (producing educational materials and manuals in English, networking and coordinating with external organizations, designing the program's functions as a university-wide program, etc.)
  • Providing wide support to international and Japanese (prospective) students before, during, and after program enrollment
