Global Leaders in Life Sciences

In these highly esteemed degree programs, students focus on advanced research areas in the field of Life Science with renowned academics at the forefront of their professions. Our courses have a creative curriculum where students encounter a variety of teaching staff coming from a wide range of research backgrounds in the field of life sciences. Recently in Life Sciences, convergence of different fields of science is advancing in the existing interdisciplinary field. Responding to these emerging trends, our teaching staff cover a wide range of research areas from basic biology through chemistry, physics, mathematics, medicine, and pharmacy. Based on the purpose of building up a world renowned research center for life sciences, this program is designed for both international students who wish to major in life sciences and have a wide research background, and Japanese students with a global perspective, who are eager to study in an international environment.
