Master’s Program in Agro-bioresources Science and Technology　The 2-year master’s course of this division is comprised of four main research fields consisting of a wide range of disciplines, as many as 60 individual specialties. The four main research fields are agro-biological sciences, agricultural economics and sociology, bioresource environmental engineering, and applied biochemistry. In addition, a special master’s degree is offered as the biosystem sciences course.　The division aims to provide fundamental knowledge of comprehensive life sciences including agriculture, biology and environmental sciences as a prerequisite for further study in a 3-year doctoral course, and to provide a wide spectrum of practical skills in technology needed to succeed as a graduate of the master’s degree program. The four main research fields emphasize education based on both of these curriculum objectives. The course of biosystem sciences was established to train graduates with practical knowledge and skills for success in bio-industry.　In addition, a “Professional Training Program in International Agricultural Research” was established in August 2010 as a part of the “Project for Establishing Universities for Internationalization” (Global30). Students involved in this program receive priority for entry into a doctoral program after completion of the master’s course.

Study areas are relating with farm management, organized activities, and agribusiness management based on the production economics and business management. Central concerns are the development of sustainable farming system and rural community. Not only the domestic issues, but also issues in developing countries are equally study fields. The harmonized symbiosis of the rural activities with environmental preservation and cooperative management of local resources are central issues.

Master’s Program in Agro-bioresources Science and Technology (Course of Biosystem Sciences) 　Recently, rapid developmrnt and change of the bioindustry such as diagnostic gene testing, medical treatment, genomic drug discovery, food analysis, production of transgenic plants and bio-chemical products are remarkable worldwide. Therefore, a novel educational program for training the professional practitioners who are capable of participating in the above mentioned fields to meet with the social needs are highly required.　Moreover, although the representative diversity of food such as gene resources including genetically engineered organisms have been distributed internationally with the daily globalization of economy and transportation, very few administrative systems in Asia countries are able to handle and manage the safety for these resources, not to mention the specialists who can decide the policy of these systems.　The objective of our program is to provide an educational program for “the training of professional practitioners who can play active role in creating new bioindustry technology and bioindustrial materials for ensuring the distribution and usage of bioresources, who can also handle the intellectual property rights and meet with the global standard in regard to international strategy and policy determination”. This education is carried out on the basis of the curriculum focusing on teaching students the broad and specialized knowledge and raising their abilities to play an active role in various fields of bioindustry.　Biodiplomacy Course requires heavy course completion as to needs of the enrollment of the base courses of the enrolled Master’s Program together with the specialized classes. This course aims for developing human resources who can be competitive in the policy, regulatory and industrial matters on biotechnology and bioresources, emphasizing the international & interdisciplinary aspects. The course is managed in English at existing Programs: by Master’s Program in Biological Sciences & Biosystem course of Master’s Program in Agro-biological Resources Sciences & Technology.
