Global leaders responsible for the next generation

Development of highly creative global leaders

By establishing a new doctoral program with strong ties to overseas education institutions and industry-academia collaboration with private companies in the materials science area, we aim to develop internationally minded global leaders full of creativity, able to carry on with science and technology advancement and innovation.

Based on international joint educational alliances, the program will develop doctoral-level talents able to carry out pioneering research. To this end, it will include education and research initiatives across departments, in collaboration with the Functional Materials Wing and Structural Materials Wing as well as interdisciplinary projects, seeking to foster—through materials science—such capabilities as basis knowledge, comprehensive thinking ability, problem discovery and solution ability, and outreach skills.
