Message from the Dean
Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology The Graduate School of Engineering Graduate School of Engineering (Master's Program) was established in 1966 and was reorganized into the Graduate School of Engineering (Master's and Doctoral Programs) in 1989 with the establishment of a new doctoral program. In 2023, the department will be reorganized into six departments: "Department of Biotechnology and Life Science," "Department of Biomedical Engineering," "Department of Applied Chemistry," "Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering," "Opportunity Systems Engineering," and "Intelligent Information Systems," and education and research are being promoted together with "Department of Industrial Technology and Innovation" (Specialist degree program) and "Joint Doctoral Program for Sustainability Research" (doctoral program).
The six majors connected to each department have international specializations, and they are places for regular graduate students and Japan students to study together. One of the characteristics of Graduate School of Engineering is that it aims to develop intelligent professionals in engineering through keyaki-type education, and education and research are conducted to nurture the trunk of expertise and expand the branches of diversity. In addition to specialized courses that nurture the expertise of each department, the program includes interdisciplinary package courses in "Pharmaceuticals and Drug Discovery," "Energy, Environment and Materials," and "Robotics and AI," as well as general knowledge courses and practical engineering courses to support your growth.
Fortunately, most of our Graduate School of Engineering graduates are active around the world as researchers and engineers in public institutions, including companies and universities. Backed by the history and tradition of our university and the activities of our graduates and alumni, I believe that we have a very favorable environment when you find a job. However, the period of social activity after employment exceeds 40 years. During this time, the development of science and technology, including AI and information technology, will undoubtedly create many jobs and occupations that are no longer needed. In other words, once you get a job, you will be safe for the rest of your life. In order to play an active role on the front lines of society for a long time in such an era, it is clear that superficial knowledge alone cannot compete. As something that only people can do, I would like you to become a person who creates "something" from "nothing".
In graduate school, you will spend most of your time devoted to research activities in the laboratory, and you will spend a lot of time receiving education through research. What is important during this period is to understand the essence of academics and its appeal, and to be aware that you can compete with the world in research. To achieve this, even if your field is very narrow at first, it is important to become a person with more knowledge and experience than anyone else in the world. Although the time you spend in graduate school is only a few years, I believe it is the period in which you will grow the most as a person and shape your future self. In order to always shine in your work over more than 40 years of social activity, it is important to acquire the skills to grow yourself. Please acquire the skills to do so in graduate school.
In addition, the University Graduate School of Engineering has a number of measures in place to make it easier for working adults to obtain degrees. If you are currently a member of society, please consider obtaining a degree under the experienced Faculty Member of our university in order to realize an even brighter future.
Finally, I'm sure you all have many reasons for going on to graduate school, but I think it's probably because it gave you direction in your vision for the future. Please don't forget that original intention. From an external perspective, our students are extremely excellent as graduate students, and with your own awareness and experience, you will surely become people who can be recognized all over the world. Please have the confidence and pride of being a graduate student at our university, and pursue "who you want to be."

The department trains students to become "human resources who will continue to take on the challenge of solving problems and ensuring the sustainable development of today's increasingly complex and diverse society.
The doctoral program accepts not only those who have completed the master's program and those who have completed the Specialist degree program, but also working adults who are still employed at companies and research institutes, making it a graduate school that is widely open to the industrial world. Graduates are highly regarded by their employers, and the program provides extremely detailed employment support for each major, so the job offer ratio and employment rate remain at a consistently high level. In addition, many of our doctoral program graduates are active in educational and research institutions such as universities, and in the research and development departments of companies.
The university is always ranked among the top universities in Japan for its joint research with industry, and has contributed greatly to the creation of new technologies and industries by transferring research results to industry and starting up ventures. The university is also actively working on internationalization, with each major offering an "international major" that can be completed in English alone, and has signed academic exchange agreements with top universities in Europe, the United States, and Asia, accepting many graduate students and providing many graduate students from the university with the opportunity to study abroad for research. During their time at the university, students have published their research results in academically highly regarded international journals and presented cutting-edge results at international conferences, winning various awards. In addition to introducing students to various scholarship opportunities, the university has established its own research grant system, created an environment where students can concentrate on their studies and research, and built a system that allows for collaboration across fields in order to cultivate human resources who have not only high-level specialized skills but also a broad interdisciplinary perspective.
