OVERVIEW

The Faculty of Agriculture was established in February 1919 and has developed steadily while making great strides in the fields of research and education of agricultural science and technology, including newer areas such as biological control, food science and technology, genetic resources and biotechnology. In the 21st century, we are entering a new era of applied biology supported by a profound understanding of nature and by the advancement of gene manipulation, protein engineering, cell fusion, etc., which have not only improved extant biological techniques but also made it possible to design innovative hitherto-unknown methodologies and techniques. Incorporating these into our programs, our research and education cover a broad spectrum of disciplines including biological, chemical, physio-mathematical, social and environmental sciences, which are related to maintaining a stable and sustainable supply of the food and natural materials indispensable for life, the conservation of wildlife and the environment, and the health and welfare of mankind. Our international graduate program is entirely English-taught and the lectures are taught by experts in their subject areas, and students at all levels can participate in research using cutting-edge equipment and methods.

The Faculty of Agriculture offers a supportive international environment in which to develop your academic interests at Masters or PhD level, which will form a solid foundation for your future.
