Message from the Graduate School Dean

The world faces serious challenges such as over-population, climate change, and resource depletion, putting sustainable food production at risk. In this context the role of agricultural science has become more important than ever.

Providing “creative and functional education that enables students to acquire a broad perspective, advanced knowledge, specialized understanding, insight, and practical skills” to counter these challenges, we have contributed to “cultivate highly specialized professionals and researchers who can confront these issues with comprehensive judgment and contribute to the international community” (Admission Policy). To this goal, Ibaraki University, Utsunomiya University, and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology collaborate to support your intellectual exploration.

Doctoral research is not a passive learning where you simply study existing questions and their answers. It is a continuous process of generating questions by yourself and confronting them onward. With this awareness, we have been producing challengers who pose significant questions to address common human challenges for over 40 years. We welcome those who resonate with this tradition to join us.
