Graduate School of Science and Technology

At the graduate school students are immersed in cutting-edge research in a fulfilling environment conducive to the acquisition of more advanced specialized technology and knowledge.
The aim is to nurture world-leading professionals who play a central role in all fields.

CIST provides both a Master's and a Doctoral Program in the specialized field of Photonics Science. Under the guidance of faculty members who are front-line researchers in each field of photonics science, students are trained to become engineers who can utilize advanced specialized technology and conduct the latest research in a fulfilling environment at the graduate school building equipped with advanced equipment.

A wide range of fields in photonics science are integrated to meet new challenges that are not accommodated in conventional academic fields. Students can explore various research fields through cooperation between laboratories.

Various research options including joint research related to national projects and research themes unique to Chitose are available. Professional engineers who can think and act independently and lead advanced research are thus nurtured at the school.

Graduate students actively participate in conference presentations and guide juniors. By working hard and closely together, students not only pursue the results of their research, but also enhance the humanity needed by society.

The program fosters advanced professionals who can play an active role as engineers in the development of optical materials, devices, and systems.

The program fosters individuals with leadership who will carry out world-class advanced research and development in collaboration with a group of highly specialized experts.

●…Compulsory subject　■…Elective subject

In addition to “specialized subjects” and experiments/seminars required for advanced research, the curriculum also includes “language subjects” that strengthen English proficiency necessary for students to obtain the latest information from overseas literature and communicate with foreign researchers. There are also “interdisciplinary subjects” to study the social sciences related to science and technology.
