The United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences, Iwate University

Overview

The United Graduate School of Agricultural Science (UGAS) was established by constituting the faculty, research equipment, and facilities of the three graduate schools (master’s programs) of Hirosaki University, Iwate University, and Yamagata University. Each university has its own unique characteristics in terms of both education and research activities. The purpose of the Graduate School is to promote advanced and interdisciplinary research in the fields of bioproduction science, bioresource science, and regional environment creation by taking advantage of the unique characteristics of education and research system of each constituent university, located in the northern part of Japan. In such an environment, we aim to foster researchers and engineers with highly specialized skills and a rich academic background, and to contribute to the advancement of academic research and the development of related industries and society. In addition, we have been aggressively promoting the international academic exchange, and actively accepts international students, who have recently been increasing significantly.
