Graduate Program to Foster Internationally Active Researchers and Specialists
An International Graduate Program on Urban Earthquake Engineering will be established by combining the existing doctoral program on Urban Earthquake Engineering with the new integrated doctoral program for producing international specialists on earthquake disaster mitigation. The latter, starting in 2008, is funded by the Japanese government to the level of providing full-coverage scholarship to as many as 25 foreign students. The International Graduate Program is intended to diversify its educational mission for Japanese students, foreign students, and professionals, through course teaching, research supervision, and participation in international workshops and research collaborations with other institutions, all of which will be carried out by Tokyo Tech faculty members in collaboration with professors and researchers at both domestic and oversea institutions.
