Curriculum Policies

We provide education that allows students to learn and acquire knowledge of specific education courses of ‘Forest Science’ and ‘Environmental and Bioresource Engineering’ in order to achieve the educational goals of the departments. We also provide education to foster practical abilities through experiments, practical training and practice. The following is an overview.

1. In the first and second years, scientific subjects and other subjects of the liberal arts have been established for students to acquire a wide range of education so that they will develop the basic ability to take specialized lectures later in the program.
2. From the second year, students are allocated to a specific education course. Lectures and subjects for experiments, practical training and practice have been established so that students will acquire specialized knowledge and skills.
3. In the fourth year, students work on their graduation thesis. Students take subjects that help them summarize their research results for oral presentations.
