International Graduate Program (Master's)

Starting in 2026, the Graduate School of Science and Technology will be restructured into four new schools, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Chemistry, Life Science, and Informatics, Engineering and Design, and Informatics, Management, and Human Sciences. Each school has two or three curriculums.

School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences

• Curriculum of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences
• Curriculum of Physics
• Curriculum of Applied Physics and Physico-Informatics

School of Chemistry, Life Science, and Informatics

• Curriculum of Molecular Chemistry and Chemical Biology

• Curriculum of Emerging Physico-Chemistry
• Curriculum of Biosciences and Informatics

School of Engineering and Design

• Curriculum of Mechanical Engineering
• Curriculum of Electronics and Electrical Engineering
• Curriculum of System Design Engineering

School of Informatics, Management, and Human Sciences

• Curriculum of Open Sciences
• Curriculum of Industrial and Systems Engineering

The curriculum for the Master's program is divided into four categories: General courses, Specialized courses, Independent Study course and Graduate Research course. Regardless of their majors, students are free to take any of the General courses and Specialised courses to complete their programme to a total of at least 30 credits. Each lecture course is usually worth 2 credits.

Most of the courses are offered on a semester system consisting of Spring semester (April-July) and Fall semester (September-January). Some courses are offered on a quarter system (twice a week) or in a short-term intensive format.

To apply for the International Graduate Program, finding an academic advisor is vital as our graduate program is a research-oriented program. You can use "Staff Profile" tool to find more information on our faculty members including contact information.

Before submitting your application, choose your prospective research advisor among our faculty members who are qualifed as thesis advisors.

Please contact your prospective research advisor to discuss your research plan thoroughly. Applicants who have failed to do this prior to submitting their applications have a much smaller chance of acceptance.

To complete the Master's Program at Graduate School of Science and Technology, students need to study in the program at least two academic years and complete at least 30 credits, including 4 credits of Independent Study and 6 credits of Graduate Research 1. Upon completion, students need to submit their Master's thesis and get it approved.

Students who complete the program will obtain the following degrees depend on the school they belong to.
