Overview

The Environmental Sciences degree from The University of Tokyo shares its vision with its undergraduate counterpart, the International Program on Environmental Sciences, one of the PEAK (Programs in English at Komaba) program and is likewise delivered entirely in English.

Students taking the undergraduate program develop a unique set of skills, allowing them to analyze, critique, propose and define environmental policy from economic, cultural and political viewpoints, based on a platform of basic science and technology, which covers aspects from basic physics and chemistry through to environmental processes such as ecological systems and methods for measuring global material circulation.

The graduate program steps further and deeper, allowing students to choose their area of specialization from a wide range of relevant fields including natural and agricultural sciences, industrial technologies, and social sciences including economics, politics and other related disciplines.

The course provides a unique opportunity to work with world experts at the cutting edge, on problems that global society needs to address right now for its future prosperity.
