Division of Law

As society becomes more and more complicated, the number of problems that require a legal viewpoint to cope with and make a judgment on is increasing. Under these circumstances, in addition to independent legal experts such as lawyers and judges, the importance and necessity of in-house, or corporate, legal specialists has become increasingly recognized. In-house specialists belong to certain organizations including companies or public associations and are responsible for making a contribution to society by enforcing legal justice while keeping a balance between laws and profits. Considering these social needs, the Department of Legal Studies mainly aims to train in-house legal experts with advanced special knowledge based on solid legal way of thinking. However, we believe that our legal education is also sufficient enough to train independent legal specialists. Toward a higher summit of legal education, we continue our efforts by conducting research on the interpretation and operation of positive laws to deal with actual social situations and needs in a more sophisticated way, and by providing education that fosters a high level of expertise.

In order to provide students with an opportunity to pursue more specialized knowledge and skills in their major area, a graduate program was established at the university. The term of study is two years leading to a master's degree. The aims of the MA course include deepening and broadening the students's scholarly horizons, and cultivating their analytical skills in their area of specialization. Their studies should also equip the students with skills that will be important in their future employment. The students will receive guidance in their studies from professors from all sectors of the faculty. Along with their lectures and seminars, the students will complete a thesis in their area of specialization toward their graduation.

Division of Business Administration and Information

Business Administration and Information Studies seeks ways to solve problems that organizations such as corporations have by gathering and processing the information necessary for solutions with the aid of information technology. The areas of study are business operation and accounting, and information technology and information networking, and even include business environments such as nature, politics, and economics.
Master's Course provides a curriculum that helps students to develop abilities such as insight and creativity, so that they can relate various factors of many areas to one another in a sophisticated and organic way, and demonstrate a high level of performance in the business environment. Demonstrate a high performance level in the business environment. In this way, we aim to produce professionals who are creative, can cover a broad range of the business and information field, and can plan a business strategy for the 21st century, as well as researchers with abundant expertise and excellent research capability. The research areas are systematically structured into three main areas, which are "business operation," "information" and "environment." In addition to this unique structure, there are classes that offer much more insightful viewpoints than those on the undergraduate level. Students are given many chances to enhance their knowledge and techniques from various aspects.
Moreover, in April of 2005, we opened Doctoral Course. The curriculum is featured by three specific areas of study, namely, "business operation," "information" and "region". With this distinctive curriculum, we prepare excellent opportunities for students to become competent professional executive with a high level of multi-faceted viewpoints and who can take full advantage of their expertise.

Division of Innovation and Creativity Engineering

This major is set up for the latter half of a doctoral course after three majors in the former half of the course. We prepare interdisciplinary, integrated and advanced education and research in two fields: Creative Urban Architecture and Creative Artifacts. Creative Engineering allows students to develop new types of manufacturing and to create new industries. We nurture their expertise, openmindedness and creativity as well as all-round skills while they work on their research.This major welcomes adult students as well.

Division of Social Development Engineering

In the study of social development engineering, students carry out research from the viewpoint of social development and environmental preservation, based on civil engineering, architecture and management engineering. More specifically, they are first expected to evaluate and analyze local development, urban development, and their effects on the surrounding environment. Then, they proceed to study structural mechanics and soil mechanics in an integrated way, both of which are basic technology of scientific and engineering techniques for environmental preservation. There are four target areas in this major, which are "urban and local planning," "hydraulic engineering," "structural engineering," and "soil and geotechnical engineering."

Division of Mechanical Systems Engineering

This division of the engineering studies offers a wide range of education and research related to machinery and systems engineering based on mechanical engineering. Along with the recent rapid development of computers and microelectronics, mechanical engineering has also gone through drastic progress and brought about various changes in the field. These changes are seen, for example, in the introduction of an advanced controlling function to machinery system, computer-assisted designing systems such as CAD, and computer-assisted production techniques. There are four target areas in this major, which are "system control engineering," "processing and manufacturing system engineering," "thermal and fluid system engineering," and "material engineering." Each course aims to foster highly skilled professional engineers and researchers with a profound knowledge of machinery systems and a diverse range of production areas.

Division of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

In electrical and electronic engineering, considering the age of advanced science and technology, students conduct comprehensive research activities in a broad range of areas such as electrics, electronics, communication, information, and electrical and electronic engineering as the core subject of this major. There are three main areas of study, and each of them covers certain related subjects. The study of "electronic physical properties" includes material physical properties and magnetics. "Control and information engineering" includes system control, multi-media, energy system engineering, and information processing. "Optical and radio wave engineering" includes optical electronics, radio wave theories, and plasma engineering.

With the launch of a six-year program at the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the doctoral course will be converted to four years starting in academic year 2012. The basic six-year program offers activities in clinical practice, in addition to systematic education with which students can acquire academic knowledge and research abilities in relevant areas of specialty, to foster human resources that play an active role in a wide range of medical fields. It cultivates pharmacists and other professionals equipped with high levels of expertise and excellent research abilities.
