The system o learning
Graduate school provides students who wish to continue their studies, the opportunity to conduct research ater completing
their undergraduate degree. There is a growing demand or people who have a wide range o knowledge and skills as
society rapidly changes and becomes increasingly complex by the advance o globalization and inormation technology.
The number o students who wish to attend graduate school will also continue to increase. In response to these conditions,
Tokai University established a graduate school system that has 2 proessional graduate schools, 21 schools, and 50 courses
o study. By exploiting its strength as a comprehensive university, Tokai University has created a highly advanced and
diverse space or learning that acilitates interdisciplinary research and learning between schools and courses o study.
The graduate school has its oundation in the undergraduate
schools, but is an educational and research organization with
an independent objective. Thus, it is possible to continue
studying the same eld that one studied as an undergraduate,
or to venture into a new ield completely. Just because a
student graduates rom the School o Engineering, this does
not mean that he or she must continue into the Graduate
School o Engineering. For example, there are cases where

a student who studied mathematics in their undergraduate
years entered the Graduate School o Economics to study
economic analysis using statistics. This fexibility is enabled
by Tokai Universitys position as a comprehensive university
with 2 pro essiona l graduat e scho ols, 21 schools , and 50
courses o study.
Th e gr ad ua te sc ho ol is co mp ri se d o C ou rs es th at
correspond to undergraduate departments and oer masters
programs (the irst level o doctoral programs) that have astandard completion time o two years, and doctoral programs
(the second level o doctoral programs) that continue or three
more years (However, the Advanced Medical Science course
at the Graduate School o Medicine only oers a our-year
doctoral program). Further, depending on the eld o study,
only a masters program may be oered.
The rst two years o the doctoral program (the rst level) are
treated identically to the masters program. Thereore, the
masters program and the rst level o the doctoral program
are reerred to as the masters course, while the doctoral
program including the second level, are reerred to as the
doctors course.
Advancement rom the masters course (the irst leve l o
doctoral programs) to the doctors course (second level o
doctoral programs) is not automatic, and students must pass
an entrance examination to gain admittance to the latter(except our-year doctoral programs).
In the proessional graduate schools that oer training
programs to oster the development o specialists in certain
ields, the standard completion time is 2 years, but in some
elds, the completion time ranges rom 1 to 3 years. It is also
possible or graduates o the proessional graduate schools to
advance to the third year o the doctors course once they pass
the entrance examination.
Tokai Universitys doctoral
programs in Science and Technology
The Graduate School o Science and Technology, the
Graduate School o Earth and Environmental Sciences,
and the Graduate School o Biosciences at Tokai
University oer only doctoral programs, and each
school only oers one course. Each school divides
their course into sub-courses that are tailored to the
students research interests. The courses are oered at
the Shonan, Yoyogi, Numazu, Shimizu, Kumamoto, Aso,
Sapporo, and Asahikawa campuses. By removing the
barriers that are oten erected between courses and by
promoting cooperation between campuses, we have been
able to conduct complex research activities. We promote
cutting-edge and global research activities by bringing
together a broad range o research elds and people.

The front lines of research
Tokai Universitys graduate schools are unique in their wide range o research activities both in the humanities and the sciences.
Many o the research laboratories are engaged in distinctive research activities and
aggressively collaborate with private companies.Here, we introduce some o the innovative research activities that our schools are engaged in.
Yamaguchi Research Laboratory at the Graduate School o Engineering
(Cellular and Molecular Biology Laboratory) conducts research on the
development o molecular-targeted therapies or cancer, the development
o a tissue-specifc delivery system though the unique characteristics o
carbonhydrate structure, and analyses o the molecular mechanism o
antiproliera tive activity o cancer cells. In particular, the tissue-specifc
delivery system that uses the unique characteristics o carbonhydrate
structure, which aims at establishing carbonhydrate structure-speciic
single-stranded antibodies, will be applied to medicine and industry
because it includes no antigenetic or toxic properties thanks to the use o
human antibody genes and is useul as a tool or diagnosis and treatment.
This research is certiied by the Japan Science and Technology Agency
(JST) as a Core Research or Environmental Science and Technology
(CREST), and has received external research unds or over fve years.
As part o civilization studies, the Hirano Research Laboratory carries
out research that ocuses on mathematics and science during the
Renaissance. The Renaissance is commonly known as the period when
the arts lourished. However, many Renaissance artists had knowledge
o the modern equivalent o mathematics and science at the oundation
o their works o art. The laboratory ocuses on research themes such
as Leonardo da Vinci and mathematics (in particular, Euclids Elements o
Ancient Greece); the relationship between the establishment o the law
o perspective and ancient optics; and artistic and mathematical studies
o beauty and harmony centering on the Canon o Proportion. When
necessary, the laboratory also recreates models o tools that were used
during that time (reer to the pictures to the le t: a 1509 edition o Euclids
Elements (Pacioli version), which is a rare book owned by Tokai University
Library; and a recreated model o Leonardo da Vinc is compass or drawing
parabolas).
The worlds population is increasing; desertiication is spreading; the
hydrosphere is becoming more polluted and eutrophicated. On the
other hand, the area o the worlds arable land is limited. In light o these
conditions, researchers are called upon to develop environmentally riendly
technology or producing ood and crops. Hydro- biomass, the eecti ve
use o untapped biological resources, and seed pallets that use sludge
are examples o new technologies that have strong potential. What kindo measures must human beings take to coexist with animals in the uture?
This research laboratory continues to work in search o the answers to
this question based on the theme o producing ood and crops based on
coexistence and environmental science.

Fostering researchers who can contribute to improvingthe global environment and human society in the new era.
In the history of life on earth spanning 3.8 billion years, human beings have upset
the earths ecosystem in a very short time, as seen with the global warming and
the energy crisis. The enjoyment of mass-production, mass-consumption and
mass-disposal promoted by the development of science and technology handed
down from previous centuries, are the main culprits of these global crisis.
Therefore, it is our mission to establish new earth environment sciences such
as earth ecosystem science, biology and earth observation science by combining
