International Graduate Program (Master's)

The Graduate School of Science and Technology is divided into the following three schools, and every graduate student in the Master's program will belong to one of those schools. Students will perform research projects under the guidance of their academic advisors who belong to one of the centers.

School of Fundamental Science and Technology

• Center for Mathematics
• Center for Physics Center for Molecular Chemistry
• Center for Applied Physics and Physico-Informatics
• Center for Chemical Biology
• Center for Biosciences and Informatics

School of Integrated Design Engineering

• Center for Multidisciplinary and Design Science
• Center for System Integration Engineering
• Center for Electronics and Electrical Engineering
• Center for Material Design Science

School of Science for Open and Environmental Systems

• Center for Space and Environment Design Engineering
• Center for Science of Environment and Energy
• Center for Applied and Computational Mechanics
• Center for Information and Computer Science
• Center for Open Systems Management

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.
