The Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Program in Life and Environmental Sciences has a modular organization, which allows students to study a wide variety of subjects in their early years, before specializing in one particular field in later years.

The first year offers a broad general education with students taking foundational courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and math, along with courses in Japanese, English (for non-native speakers), cultural studies, sports, and arts. We strongly encourage students to continue their Japanese language studies throughout their degree.

In the second and third years, students can choose from a range of specialized subjects offered by the College of Agro-Biological Resource Sciences, while broadening their understanding by selecting courses offered by the other Colleges in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences. Core transferrable skills courses provide training in how to prepare conference posters, give oral presentations, and prepare a manuscript for submission to a scientific journal. In the final year, students undertake a research project supervised by one of our professors.

NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements.
