The Graduate School of Life Sciences offers advanced postgraduate education through our Master's and Doctoral Programs.

Master's (Two-Year) Program
This two-year program combines coursework with hands-on research. While required and elective subjects are offered throughout the year, the curriculum is designed to allow students to complete most coursework during the first two semesters. This structure ensures that students can fully dedicate their final year to research and the preparation of their Master's thesis.

Doctoral (Three-Year) Program
The Doctoral Program typically requires three years of extensive research. To obtain a Ph.D., students must be enrolled for three years, earn a minimum of 9 credits, and successfully submit and defend a doctoral dissertation. 

Global Environment & Support
We are proud to offer our programs in both English and Japanese. We actively welcome international students and encourage applicants to apply for the Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship. Recipients of this scholarship may also take advantage of a six-month intensive Japanese language course prior to starting their degree.
