GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

In 1989 the Graduate School of Science and Engineering at Saitama University was established to integrate the master's program of the Graduate School of Science with that of the Graduate School of Engineering. The doctoral program is based on an organization between the teachers of the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering and, in a first for Japan, is a cooperative course which has been formulated from five major fields, with on-going cooperation and mutual assistance between our teachers and the staff at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) and the Center for Environmental Science in Saitama. Since its establishment to the present, 548 students have earned this degree and among these students, 92 students received guidance from visiting professors.
There are also many working members of the community who have been accepted under a special selection process and have gone on to receive degrees from the Graduate School of Science and Engineering.
Another special feature of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering is that since 1992, a special graduate program for international students has been established, with education and research guidance conducted in English in the field of Environmental and Civil Engineering, attracting a great number of students from abroad. Since 1996, the number of students applying for the Master's and Doctoral Programs has reached between 100 and 150, and between fifty and sixty respectively, with only ten being accepted each year. This raises the stocks of the Graduate School both home and abroad; these days something judged highly not just by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, but the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank. So far over fourty graduates have received this Doctorate, a remarkable achievement which each recipient's country should be proud of.
From 2001, using the existing Environmental and Civil Engineering course for international students as a base, it has been expanded to cover a wider academic range and also to incorporate the acceptance of fifteen students for the Doctoral Program. Diligent students outside of this program may also be recommended to apply for a government scholarship.
