The system of learning

Graduate school provides students who wish to continue their studies, the opportunity to conduct research after completing their undergraduate degree. There is a growing demand for people who have a wide range of knowledge and skills as society rapidly changes and becomes increasingly complex by the advance of globalization and information technology. The number of students who wish to attend graduate school will also continue to increase. In response to these conditions, Tokai University established a graduate school system that has 2 professional graduate schools, 21 schools, and 50 courses of study. By exploiting its strength as a comprehensive university, Tokai University has created a highly advanced and diverse space for learning that facilitates interdisciplinary research and learning between schools and courses of study.
Moving from the undergraduate to the graduate level

The graduate school has its foundation in the undergraduate schools, but is an educational and research organization with an independent objective. Thus, it is possible to continue studying the same field that one studied as an undergraduate, or to venture into a new field completely. Just because a student graduates from the School of Engineering, this does not mean that he or she must continue into the Graduate School of Engineering. For example, there are cases where

a student who studied mathematics in their undergraduate years entered the Graduate School of Economics to study economic analysis using statistics. This flexibility is enabled by Tokai Universitys position as a comprehensive university with 2 professional graduate schools, 21 schools, and 50 courses of study. The graduate school is comprised of Courses that correspond to undergraduate departments and offer masters programs (the first level of doctoral programs) that have a standard completion time of two years, and doctoral programs (the second level of doctoral programs) that continue for three more years (However, the Advanced Medical Science course at the Graduate School of Medicine only offers a four-year doctoral program). Further, depending on the field of study, only a masters program may be offered. The first two years of the doctoral program (the first level) are treated identically to the masters program. Therefore, the masters program and the first level of the doctoral program are referred to as the masters course, while the doctoral program including the second level, are referred to as the doctors course. Advancement from the masters course (the first level of doctoral programs) to the doctors course (second level of doctoral programs) is not automatic, and students must pass an entrance examination to gain admittance to the latter (except four-year doctoral programs). In the professional graduate schools that offer training programs to foster the development of specialists in certain fields, the standard completion time is 2 years, but in some fields, the completion time ranges from 1 to 3 years. It is also possible for graduates of the professional graduate schools to advance to the third year of the doctors course once they pass the entrance examination.
Biological Science and Technology Course
Tokai Universitys doctoral programs in Science and Technology

The Graduate School of Science and Technology, the Graduate School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and the Graduate School of Biosciences at Tokai University offer only doctoral programs, and each school only offers one course. Each school divides their course into sub-courses that are tailored to the students research interests. The courses are offered at the Shonan, Yoyogi, Numazu, Shimizu, Kumamoto, Aso, Sapporo, and Asahikawa campuses. By removing the barriers that are often erected between courses and by promoting cooperation between campuses, we have been able to conduct complex research activities. We promote cutting-edge and global research activities by bringing together a broad range of research fields and people.

The front lines of research

Tokai Universitys graduate schools are unique in their wide range of research activities both in the humanities and the sciences. Many of the research laboratories are engaged in distinctive research activities and aggressively collaborate with private companies. Here, we introduce some of the innovative research activities that our schools are engaged in.
Towards the realization of a cancer treatment without side effects

Graduate School of Engineering
Yamaguchi Research Laboratory

Yamaguchi Research Laboratory at the Graduate School of Engineering (Cellular and Molecular Biology Laboratory) conducts research on the development of molecular-targeted therapies for cancer, the development of a tissue-specific delivery system though the unique characteristics of carbonhydrate structure, and analyses of the molecular mechanism of antiproliferative activity of cancer cells. In particular, the tissue-specific delivery system that uses the unique characteristics of carbonhydrate structure, which aims at establishing carbonhydrate structure-specific single-stranded antibodies, will be applied to medicine and industry because it includes no antigenetic or toxic properties thanks to the use of human antibody genes and is useful as a tool for diagnosis and treatment. This research is certified by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) as a Core Research for Environmental Science and Technology (CREST), and has received external research funds for over five years.
In pursuit of knowledge and technology of the Renaissance period

Graduate School of Letters; Civilization Studies Course
Hirano Research Laboratory
As part of civilization studies, the Hirano Research Laboratory carries out research that focuses on mathematics and science during the Renaissance. The Renaissance is commonly known as the period when the arts flourished. However, many Renaissance artists had knowledge of the modern equivalent of mathematics and science at the foundation of their works of art. The laboratory focuses on research themes such as Leonardo da Vinci and mathematics (in particular, Euclids Elements of Ancient Greece); the relationship between the establishment of the law of perspective and ancient optics; and artistic and mathematical studies of beauty and harmony centering on the Canon of Proportion. When necessary, the laboratory also recreates models of tools that were used during that time (refer to the pictures to the left: a 1509 edition of Euclids Elements (Pacioli version), which is a rare book owned by Tokai University Library; and a recreated model of Leonardo da Vincis compass for drawing parabolas).
In search of environmentally friendly food production technology

Kabata Research Laboratory

The worlds population is increasing; desertification is spreading; the hydrosphere is becoming more polluted and eutrophicated. On the other hand, the area of the worlds arable land is limited. In light of these conditions, researchers are called upon to develop environmentally friendly technology for producing food and crops. Hydro-biomass, the effective use of untapped biological resources, and seed pallets that use sludge are examples of new technologies that have strong potential. What kind of measures must human beings take to coexist with animals in the future? This research laboratory continues to work in search of the answers to this question based on the theme of producing food and crops based on coexistence and environmental science.

Fostering researchers who can contribute to improving the global environment and human society in the new era.
In the history of life on earth spanning 3.8 billion years, human beings have upset the earth s ecosystem in a very short time, as seen with the global warming and the energy crisis. The enjoyment of mass-production, mass-consumption and mass-disposal promoted by the development of science and technology handed down from previous centuries, are the main culprits of these global crisis. Therefore, it is our mission to establish new earth environment sciences such as earth ecosystem science, biology and earth observation science by combining the knowledge and technology of existing science, engineering, agriculture, and fisheries oceanography in order to maintain the safety and sustainability of human beings for future generations. The Graduate School of Earth and Environmental Science promotes international, interdisciplinary and cutting-edge academic research based on this broad perspective. It also aims at fostering highly analytical and creative researchers who can contribute to the improvement in the global environment and human society in the 21st century.

Course: History
The History Course pursues the study of integrated human history through a wide variety of research objects.
The History Course comprises four fields: Japanese History, Oriental History, Occidental History and Archeology.

Course: Health and Social Work

Specialist education built on an integrated system that unites nursing and medicine with social welfare, clinical research and practical training.
Traditional, nursing, medicine, and social welfare have been treated as independent disciplines. Today, however, there is a call for a wider vision that integrates these three fields in order to respond to the diverse needs of society. The mission of the Health and Social Work Course is to foster specialists who, gifted with a broad perspective, can embrace interdisciplinary attitude that goes beyond the conventional boundary between nursing, medicine and social welfare in terms of aid philosophy, outlook, way of thinking and practical skills. Students are not expected to merely work out a compromise between nursing, medicine and social welfare. Instead, they are expected to acquire research competence supported by a clinical approach so that they can critically analyze experiences and situations that are taking place at real work sites. Ultimately, students are expected to apply the knowledge, skill and attitudes mastered through research analysis and interdisciplinary education to clinical sites. With this mission in mind, the course presents systematical specialist education for students who want to contribute to improvement in the welfare of humanity.

Training for high-level specialists who can become practical leaders and for teachers in higher education institutions.
Training for high-level specialists who can become practical leaders and for teachers in higher education institutions. So far, medical and social welfare personnel have played their roles in relatively narrow fields and organization according to the conventional division of labor doctors deal mainly with diagnosis and treatment, nurses support doctors, and social welfare provides support for the socially vulnerable. In today s highly complex and diverse society, however, the training of new types of directive specialists who can integrate medicine, nursing and social welfare into a comprehensive system and play a leading role without adhering to the conventional division of labor, is called for to meet various social demands. Meanwhile, Japan sees the nationwide establishment of many new nursing and social welfare universities and vocational schools recently, and calls for the training of new teachers for these schools. Supported by an excellent faculty and educational system, the Graduate School of Health Sciences aims at fostering high-level specialists with practical skills and teachers for institutes of higher education.

The Voices of Current Students and Alumni

Marine phytoplankton teach us about global environmental changes
When I was in elementary school, I watched the movie Free Willy and was enthralled by the free movement of the Orca. This is when I started to develop an interest in the ocean. As I continued to study oceanography during my undergraduate years, my interest shifted from large animals to the environment and plankton that support these animals. I currently conduct research on the relationship between the ocean and nature from the perspective of chemistry. Specifically, I conduct research on the ecology of the plankton. As the increase in carbon dioxide emissions that a cco m pa ny gl o ba l wa r m i ng have b eco m e ma j o r problems, people have started paying more attention to the roles played by the ocean and plankton as absorbers of carbon dioxide. In 2005, I was given the chance to participate in a research voyage across the Pacific, which was led by Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. During the voyage from Sekinehama in Aomori to San Diego, California, I was very impressed with the attitude of the staff who was regularly engaged in research. Through my conversations with them, I was able to envision my future more clearly. I want to work at a private company where I can make good use of my observation techniques and contribute to society by working in the field of environmental conservation.

Graduate School of Marine & Technology, Marine Science Course Second year of the masters program
A campus where many graduate schools converge This interdisciplinary environment facilitates a deeper level of research
I graduated from the Department of Science at Tokai University, majoring in Physics. I currently conduct research on lasers. While preparing for a job interviews before graduating, I decided to enter graduate school to gain a more advanced level of expertise before beginning my career. During my undergraduate studies, I became interested in optical technology and did a double major in Optical Engineering (now: Optical and Imaging Science and Technology) at the Department of Engineering. In hindsight, this experience played a significant role in leading me to my current research on lasers. One strength of Tokai Universitys graduate school is its ideal research environment that is realized through an ample budget and sophisticated facilities. The faculty is passionate, fair, and very attentive to students needs. Because many of them have experience in industry, students are able to acquire practical knowledge that has relevance in industry and simultaneously engage in socially meaningful research. Another strength of Tokai Universitys graduate school is that a variety of graduate schools coexist on one campus. There are many t ypes of equipment and facilities that students from other courses can use, although many of them do not know that these are available. In fact, there are too many to fully utilize each facility. I can also talk to the faculty in other research laboratories, courses and schools when I have questions about chemistry and engineering during the course of my research. After completing the doctoral program, I plan to find a post at a private company that allows me to draw upon my research. Laser technology is a field with great potential for growth. Instead of using what I have researched and learned for personal gain, I hope to return all that I have gained to society by contributing to the development of science and technology in Japan.

(from Kanagawa prefecture)

The Graduate School of Science and Technology, Science and Technology Course First year of the doctoral program
Entered a graduate school after experiencing the world of industry Fully utilizing the investigation and research techniques acquired at graduate school
After completing the undergraduate course, I worked as a designer at a manufacturer of industrial metal parts (hinges, handles for machinery, etc.). At that time, I felt limited because even though I wanted to have a clear image of the environment in which customers utilized the products that I designed, I was in fact, designing industrial par ts. Gradually my dream of creating user-friendly products based on clear images of the environment in which they would be used, emerged. I decided to enter graduate school to master the skills that I would need to realize my dream. Because I had already been in industry, my research goals in graduate school were very clear. I could fully devote my energy to my research at the Asahikawa Campus thanks to its many strengths: the high-quality facilities including craft centers; many professors and staff members who are very attentive to the students requests and needs; and student support systems, such as scholarships. In addition to my own research, I was able to extend my knowledge to other areas through collaborative research with professors. Currently, I work at a car manufacturer to improve the aesthetic quality of vehicles (grappling with the question, what is an attractive vehicle from the customers point of view?). I hope to make good use of my experience at graduate school to continue to create attractive cars for customers.
