●Major in Science and Engineering●Major in Science of Environmental Systems●Major in Agricultural and Life Sciences30Our interdisciplinary doctoral program is organized into four academic fields: Collaborative Course in Science and Engi-neering; Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science Course, Geoscience and Geoenvironmental Science Course, and Mechanical/Electronic Engineering and Infor-mation Systems Course. Prospective doctoral students Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, which was recently established in 2018, integrates the Interdisci-plinary Graduate School of Science and Engineering and the Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences. It comprises three majors in which the graduates receive Master’s degree: Science and Engineering, Science of Envi-ronmental Systems, Agricultural and Life Sciences. In addition, each major is connected with a department in the undergraduate school, which enables a continuous educa-tion from the undergraduate level.●Major in Interdisciplinary Science and EngineeringThe graduate school undertakes education and research in a wide range of academic fields including science, engi-neering and agriculture. The students will develop scientific knowledge, presentation skills, a global insight, and the ability to formulate new ideas. The graduates will become highly creative innovators, engineers, and researchers who will contribute to the development of science, technology and the creation of a sustainable society and whose compre-hensive and interdisciplinary view points will be of benefit to those in the local community.In the Science and Engineering Major, students acquire the basic knowledge mathematics, physics, and informatics. Based on this knowledge, they will contribute to the devel-opment of mathematical science, physics, information science, mechanical engineering, electric and electronic engineering, and materials engineering as advanced engi-apply to one of these courses. Based on their application and with the consent of their academic adviser, a Doctor of Science, Doctor of Engineering, or Ph.D. degree may be awarded, after the completion of the credit requirements for the course concerned. The graduates will become highly creative researchers, innovators, and engineers who will contribute to the development of science and technology.https://www.riko.shimane-u.ac.jp/graduate/neers and researchers with an international viewpoint. In the Science of Environmental Systems Major, students acquire the basic knowledge in earth science, environmental and sustainability sciences, chemistry, and architecture. Based on this knowledge, they will contribute to the creation of rich and environmentally friendly society as advanced engineers and researchers with practical skills, creativity, and an international viewpoint. In the Agricultural and Life Sciences Major, students acquire the basic knowledge of agriculture and life sciences. Based on this knowledge, they will contribute to the devel-opment of life science and utilization of agricultural and forest products as advanced engineers and researchers with self-reliant problem solving abilities, rich humanity, and an international viewpoint. https://www.natural.shimane-u.ac.jpInterdisciplinary Graduate School of Science and EngineeringGraduate School of Natural Science and Technology
