1. Curriculum policy and Diploma policy (Doctoral Course) Curriculum policy

The doctoral course’s dentistry curriculum, in which one student studies under the guidance of more than one instructor, encourages students to begin research at an early stage of their doctoral course, acquire expertise and specialized knowledge, and develop an interdisciplinary outlook. The Special Training for a Doctoral Thesis, provided from the first to the fourth year, helps students develop the skills necessary to write a doctoral thesis. The Basic Theory on Graduate School Research class, taken in the first year, provides students with the mass of rules that a researcher must comply with, from research ethics to various types of regulations. At the Research Theme Selection Conference, first-year students present their research theme and plan, and hold discussions with each other, developing their research skills in the early stages of their doctoral education. Students are required to take the Advanced Theory of Dentistry course from the first year, in which they learn about the latest research from instructors who are experts in various fields. They acquire many different experimental techniques necessary for conducting research in the Experimental Technique Training course. In addition, Dental Seminars, in which small groups of students work with the latest research information, are designed to help develop their sense of purpose and increase their motivation to conduct research. To produce quality theses, assessments from many different viewpoints by multiple instructors are essential. To make this possible, we have been strengthening the screening setup by introducing a system of a preliminary reviewing that uses “contributing a paper to a top-rated international journal” as the chief criterion. At the same time, we provide assistance to students in giving presentations at international academic meetings, with the aim of having them cultivate a global outlook and perspective.

Diploma Policy

To complete the Doctoral course, students are required to be in the program for four years or more, and earn 30 credits or more from the following subjects: nine or more credits for the Advanced Theory of Dentistry course, six or more credits for Dental Seminars, six or more credits for the Experimental Technique Training course, and nine or more credits for Special Training for Doctoral Thesis. Students must also receive the necessary research guidance and submit a Doctoral thesis, then pass the evaluation and the final examination.

2. Courses for Thesis Preparation confer specialized knowledge, and allow the conducting of independent research relevant to preparation of the Doctoral thesis under guidance from an academic advisor in the field to which the graduate student belongs. There is no set curriculum for the instruction received for preparing the thesis (for which 1 credit is awarded in the 1st year, 4 in the 2nd year, and 4 in the 3rd year, for a total of 9 credits), as it will differ for each graduate student depending on the content and stage of their research. However in their first year students shall receive one credit for attending Introduction to Research, presenting at theme selection meetings, and acquiring specialized knowledge in connection with these activities. Details regarding the theme selection meetings will be provided at a later date. Students shall be awarded eight credits for participating in “journal club”, clinical conferences, research seminars, research progress reports and medical examinations held individually in each department, and acquiring specialized knowledge by attending and presenting at academic conferences from their second through third year. Fourth-year students shall publish the research results they have obtained up to that point in their Doctoral theses. In cases where the Graduate School Committee judges a student enrolled for two or more years to have performed outstanding research, and to be ahead of schedule in their research progress, that student may be permitted to submit a Doctoral thesis based on credits they are expected to obtain in their third year. 3. Earning Credits (1) A maximum of three subjects can be taken per year in each of Lectures in

Dental Sciences, Seminars in Dental Sciences, and Technical Courses in Dental Sciences.

(2) Credit can be earned in Lectures in Dental Sciences, Seminars in Dental Sciences, and Technical Courses in Dental Sciences up until the student's third year.

3. The Institute for International Advanced Research and Education (Doctoral Course)

The Tohoku University Institute for International Advanced Research and Education is an educational organization of the graduate school which strives to open new fields of research by combining different fields, and use the knowledge obtained from this process to encourage the development of young world-class researchers who possess outstanding intellect, creativity, and an education in "comprehensive knowledge." This institute is organically connected to the thirteen 21st century COE Programs, allowing it to address various new multidisciplinary research areas. By furthering the development of young, world-class researchers, it complements the functions of the university's existing graduate schools and research institutes.

Students wishing to become Doctoral research institute students should apply at the end of the first year of their Doctoral course and undergo the prescribed selection process. Selected students will receive a scholarship award starting the second year of their Doctoral course and receive financial aid for costs related to their thesis, academic societies, and attending international academic conferences. They will also be able to receive aid for research expenses commensurate with their research plan and for international internships. Graduate students must take the assigned course in Oral Health Science (see syllabus) of this institute. In this course, students will study Oral Health Science through a combination with dentistry, engineering, and material sciences.

4. Joint Lectures I. Immune Regulation and Oral Immunity (joint lecture)

The Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry is promoting "Interface Oral Health Science" as the next step in dentistry. One area of this research is the host/parasite interface; our program, focused on the Oral Biology course, is one of the most advanced area in Japan.

The oral immune response is crucial to understanding biological defenses, and inflammations of the salivary glands and oral mucosa caused by irregularities in the immune response have a large impact on the patient's quality of life. This course addresses their regulation and control.

This University has a basic agreement with the National Center for Global Health and Medicine (http://www.imcj.go.jp/rese/top/index.html) through which it is promoting understanding and control of oral diseases related to immune response, and planning the joint course in Immune Regulation and Oral Immunity (syllabus TBD) taught by researchers from this institute in order to foster highly specialized professionals.

II. Geriatric Oral Science (joint lecture)

Due to the aging of the Japanese population, research and education aimed at building a foundation for serving the elderly has become critical. However, currently universities have not adequately established groundwork for research in geriatric sciences, let alone in geriatric oral science. In response to these trends in Japanese society, the creation of a foundation for geriatric oral science and the fostering of professionals capable of creating and applying knowledge in this field are pressing issues.

This University has a basic agreement with the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology (http://www.nils.go.jp/) through which it is promoting geriatric oral science research, and planning the joint course in "Geriatric Oral Science" (syllabus TBD) taught by researchers from this institute in order to foster highly specialized professionals. III. Molecular Imaging Educational/Training Course

This course is a joint venture of the graduate schools of medicine, dentistry, pharmaceutical science and engineering. It is based in the Tohoku University Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center, and National Institute of Radiological Sciences. Backed by a track record of research results, the course aims to foster molecular imaging researchers through an interdisciplinary education and research system. The Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry is engaged in research on molecular imaging in the field of dentistry, and is striving to create researchers and medical professionals capable of utilizing PET. Master and Doctoral Students belonging to the School of Medicine, Graduate School of Dentistry, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, or School of Engineering can take this course.
