Under these school principles, we aim at fostering qualified professional experts and women researchers with a view toward meeting diverse social needs, and producing women leaders in their respective fields.
The Doctoral Courses also consist of five divisions. On the basis of the School Principles, we aim at promoting:
|
①
|
Creative abilities sufficient for conducting high level interdisciplinary research
|
|
②
|
Abilities to engage in research with independent and self-reliant research attitudes

Those specializing in psychology, educational science, sociology, social policy, cultural anthropology, geography, politics, law, economics, gender studies, and area studies are affiliated with the Division of Human Sciences. Faculty in the Division of Natural/Applied Sciences specialize in fields such as mathematics, information science, physics, chemistry, biology, food science, nutrition, human environment science, and human life engineering. And finally, the Division of Advanced and Integrated Research, as the name suggests, aims at producing world-class research on cutting-edge scientific topics, while at the same time encouraging an interdisciplinary, integrative approach incorporating a broad base of existing knowledge and making use of the unique perspectives of the students as women and ordinary citizens to work toward the goal of the sustainability of our planet and the survival of our species. A faculty of internationally recognized researchers with impressive track records in prioritized fields has been assembled to carry out cross-disciplinary research aligned with the goals of this division.
