Science Majors and Minor (Sub-Major) at Ochanomizu University
Program for Leading Graduate Schools supported by MEXT (Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) and Ochanomizu University’s Divisions of Life and Advanced Sciences offer graduate students at Ochanomizu University the opportunity to acquire the key scientific and technological competencies and complement it with leadership skills that will enable them to understand and work more effectively with different background professionals.
Ochanomizu University, a Major, the Minor and You
If you are a female undergraduate in a related field and if you are interested in getting your graduate degree in Japan, becoming part of a global scientific network, take a look at our Minor course structure and our scholarship* scheme and lead your future.
Note*: This scholarship is provided yearly and on competitive basis by “Ochanomizu University Program for Leading Graduate Schools” which established the Minor course, and only students enrolled in both the Major and the Minor course are eligible to apply for it.
Educational Aims
The Major course aims to equip students to work as professional scientists by building on an existing appropriate Bachelor’s degree. The Minor course aims at complementing the studies in the Major with Sci-Tech global leadership knowledge and skills. The Major and Minor courses may be completed in parallel within 5 years (2 years Master + 3 years Doctoral studies) and leads to a Doctor of Philosophy award (in the scientific field you have chosen as your Major) with a Sub-Major in Science and Technology for Global Leaders.
