The Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University offers a new international education program, “Special Course in Agricultural Science - For the Global Future of Life, Food and the Environment”, starting in April 2010, under the umbrella program “KU-PROFILE” (Kyoto University Program for Future International Leaders). This course aims to develop human resources with advanced research abilities, profound knowledge and an international perspective in the fields of life, food and the environment, who can be an international leader in the future. Both master’s and doctoral course students are accepted. As lectures and research guidance are entirely given in English, students need not study Japanese language to obtain their degree. Students of this course can join one of the following divisions covering a diverse range of agricultural, life and environmental sciences: Agronomy and Hor ticultural Science, Forest and Biomaterials Science, Applied Life Sciences, Applied Biosciences, Environmental Science and Technology, Natural Resource Economics, and Food Science and Biotechnology. Each student will have the benefit of having several supervisors for their research guidance.

I would like to invite eager international students to join our new p r og r a m, “ S p e c i a l Course in Agricultural Science - For the Global Future of Life, Food and the Environment”. The Graduate School of Agriculture has long history of research in the field of agricultural, life a nd env i r on m ent a l sciences and at present is one of the leading research institutes of the world in these fields. Under the research background, we are confident to offer excellent education to students in the new course. We look into the future of mankind and the planet earth in this Graduate School. By the end of this century, the human population is expected to reach 10 billion, and there is a demand for increased production of food and bioresources. For the food safety of future world, many research projects are being carried out in our Graduate School. On the other hand, the environmental problems such as deforestation, soil salinization, desertification, water pollution and decreased bio-diversity are of growing concern. Therefore, one of the most important goals of our research is to find a way, in which human beings can live together with nature, harmonized with the environment. Also in recent years, the function and safety of food are gathering attention and we are seeking for ways to solve food related problems. At the Graduate School of Agriculture, agricultural science is defined as an integration of life, food and environmental sciences, and encompasses areas not only in biology but also in chemistry, physics and economics/social sciences. According to this concept, we are pursuing the goals in an interdisciplinary and integrated manner at all levels from the molecular to regional or global level. At our new course, please join us and study for the future of the earth.

Special Course in Agricultural Science -For the Global Future of Life, Food and the Environment

The minimum required period of enrollment in the programs is two years for the master’s course and three years for the doctoral course. Master’s course students must obtain 30 credits or more in their major to pass the master’s thesis screening and final examination for their degree. Doctoral students are required to pass the dissertation assessment and final examination.
