In the Doctoral course, students acquire a high level of specialized knowledge and skills in applied biological science. Students will also acquire the ability to plan research design independently and carry out research with a broad perspective, as well as advanced presentation skills, to become highly skilled professionals and researchers who can play an active role in a wide range of fields.
We offer required subjects including research justice subjects and research guidance subjects. In the research guidance subjects (Research Project in Advanced Agricultural Biology), students will prepare their doctoral dissertations through research and seminars under the supervision of faculty members. Through these curriculums, students will develop abilities to think creatively and logically; to solve problems; and to communicate internationally. Students will be able to plan research design independently and verify research problems, appropriately analyze the obtained results, and draw novel conclusions from the results. Our program develops human resources who can play significant roles in society as advanced professionals and researchers and can contribute to the advancement of applied biological science and society.
NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
