We take our pride in our research work and contributions that have been highly noted in academia and industry.

Graduate School of Science

The Graduate School of Science at Toho University was established in 1983 in order to contribute to the development of culture and the welfare of mankind through the pursuit and application of science based on the founding spirit of the university. To date, the Graduate School of Science has sent out into the world many talented individuals who have acquired the ability to discover and solve problems backed by a high level of specialized knowledge.

In addition to the acquisition of advanced specialized knowledge, we believe that students who study at the Graduate School of Science will have the “sustainability” to continue learning on their own after completing the program. Academic progress is constantly evolving. Even the most advanced technology will eventually become obsolete. In our daily lives, the common sense of yesterday may not be valid tomorrow. Therefore, the curriculum policy and diploma policy have been consolidated to achieve the goal of fostering the “skills” necessary to survive as a member of society. After graduating with a master’s or doctor’s degree, they are active as humanistic researchers, engineers, and educators in fields beyond their specialties.

 

Objectives

In the 2-year Master’s Course, we aim to develop human resources who can support science and technology in their respective fields, and in the 3-year Doctoral Course, we aim to develop human resources who can teach scientific knowledge and thinking methods to others. In addition to specialized subjects in each field, students in the Master’s Course also study bioethics, research ethics, practical scientific English, corporate research, and the relationship between science and society as subjects common to all graduate schools. In the second semester of the doctoral course, students will focus on exercises and research, and will cultivate research literacy through instruction in presenting papers at conferences in Japan and abroad and publishing papers in international journals throughout the first and second semesters.

Partner Institutions

The Graduate School of Science has partnerships with fifteen research institutions and with three universities (as of January 2021). Students pursuing master’s programs can participate in seminars at these partner institutions and study and receive guidance on their research fields.
