Yokohama National University (YNU)

Our graduate school cultivates talented individuals in a variety of fields who transcend the barriers between the liberal arts and sciences with the aim of helping to usher in a safe, hospitable, and sustainable society by creating new social value based on information from interactions among various environments. Our students not only acquire specialist knowledge and skills, but also develop fluency in communication across different disciplines.　 This course provides knowledge and skills on Ecology, Bioscience, Earth Science and management of the natural environment.

http://www.eis.ynu.ac.jp/english/category01/overview_M.html

This course consists of three types of research fields, namely Ecology and Bioscience, Earth and Biological Science, and what we call Environmental Studies. Ecology and Bioscience Program covers ecology and life science to discuss the conservation, maintenance, and recovery of the natural environment. Earth and Biological Science Program covers geoscience and life sciences to understand violent chanegs in the natural environment. Environmental Studies Program covers interdisciplinary research involving many types of stakeholders for management of the natural environment.

Ecology

The sustainability of human society depends crucially on understanding the sustainability of the natural environment as society's foundation and the way to ensure its safety. Without limiting the focus of programs to the use and conservation of the living environment and the sustainability of eco-systems over the medium to long term, this department helps students to acquire the knowledge and skills required to take into account the environmental changes that have occurred throughout the history of the Earth and interactions with local communities.

In the chemistry and life science areas including an interdisciplinary Energy and Sustainable Chemistry area, we have three types of education programs, TED, PED and PSD. The TED program is a traditional course for researchers and engineers. The PED Program is designed to produce practical engineers and researchers who can turn innovations resulting from the advancement of sciences and technologies into advanced manufacturing. YNU's original PSD Program enables students to acquire various necessary skills in our industrial society through workshops and internships.

Master course students in the program are required to take necessary credits of course works and studios/internship and additional successful completion of the master thesis. Student's research progress is supervised and assessed by the respective supervisor during discussion, seminars, and presentation within laboratory throughout the study period.

Structure and Geotechnology

This is the specialization for the students of Civil Engineering, and for those who study Humanities / Social Sciences globally. Those aspiring to get Master of Engineering mainly study civil engineering, and those aspiring to get Master of Sciences mainly study humanities / social sciences, but it is possible for students to receive tuition in each other’s fields and to have an active exchange. This is a specialization that carries out multifaceted education with integration of the humanities and science.

full time, part time, distance learning

Undergraduate students take college-wide common courses and basic courses of civil engineering in their junior year. College-wide common courses are composed of related courses in the basics of Urban Sciences and in the three fields of Global/Local, Risk Symbiosis, and Innovation as knowledge required for city planning and the development of urban societies. The senior class curriculum places emphasis on the more specialized or practical subjects including design and planning exercises. Work on the graduation thesis completes the undergraduate course.

Structure and Geotechnology

Undergraduate students learn Civil Engineering especially by dealing with issues related to the urban society from a broad perspective, such as disaster prevention, international cooperation, and environment coexistence. The curriculum consists of the basic scientific principles of civil engineering, also, urban design, policy decision, and infrastructure management. Our department is then aimed at fostering engineers, planners, and researchers, who can deal with many kinds of issues in the urban societies in wide viewpoint including natural disasters, environmental issues.

Our students not only acquire specialist knowledge and skills, but also develop fluency in communication across different disciplines.　 This course provides knowledge and skills on Informatics, Mathematical Science and others related to information environment.

http://www.eis.ynu.ac.jp/english/category01/overview_M.html

This course consists of three types of research fields, namely Informatics, Mathematical Science and what we call Information Studies. Informatics Program covers IoT, AI and other types of advanced technologies and information security. Mathematical Science Program covers modern mathematics including analysis, algebraic geometry, topology and discrete mathematics and tries to find a method to analyze a big data. Information Studies Program covers other fields related to information environment such as linguistics and mathematical simulations to analyse societies and nature.

Informatics

To ensure safety and security in a sustainable society, it is necessary to consider the information environment—in other words, the framework for handling the information available to us—that society ought to adopt. This department challenges the limits of the information environment with regard to advanced information technologies and the security of information systems. Instead, it produces professionals that possess a proper understanding of the way in which people should deal with big data and fluency in conducting mathematical data analysis.
