In the doctoral program, students' acquired knowledge
and skill will be deepened and focused in order to cultivate creative
people with high levels of skill, able to identify and solve problems.
Also, investigative and professional research skills will be encouraged.
The result: highly motivated people who can move into challenging,
frontier fields beyond their original field of studies.
Completion Requirements
To complete the doctoral program, students need a) three or more years' enrolment in the school, b) 10 or more credits (normally 6 credits for advanced seminars and 4 for lectures), and c) successful completion of the doctoral thesis defense after receiving necessary guidance from the faculty. Before the defense, students are required to fulfill one of the following prerequisites: a) a question-and-answer examination, which is held more than a half year in advance, to judge their academic level, or b) a preliminary assessment of the thesis, held more than one year in advance.
Students who have been approved by the president as having achieved good results can complete the program if they have been enrolled in the school for more than a year. However, if a student has been enrolled in a master's program, at least three years' enrollment including the time in the master's program is required for completion of the doctoral program.

Most courses in the Master's Program are taught in Japanese.
The master's program offers students the opportunity
to refine their choice of specialization in order to work towards an
advanced professional identity. The master's program is designed to
cultivate the skills required to work in the field, from knowledge
of basic principles to skills in advanced technology, all from a macrocosmic
perspective. As well, students will acquire the ability to perceive
potential needs of society and to form and implement strategies for
meeting those needs. The corresponding practical skills for achieving
such goals are also necessary, so creativity, self-expression and flexibility
in the face of diversity will be cultivated.
In the master's program, students choose a main area of study and are
also encouraged to study others. This provides them with a specialty
and also maintains a breadth of background.
Completion Requirements
To complete the master's program, students need a) two or more years' enrolment in the school, b) 30 or more credits including 8 of individual work (compulsory), and c) successful completion of the master's thesis defense after receiving necessary guidance from the faculty. When it is considered appropriate in light of the program's objectives, the results of research on a specific theme can be assessed instead of a thesis.
Students who have been approved by the president as having achieved good results can complete the program if they have been enrolled in the school for more than one year.
