* The professional master's degree program makes use of practical educational methods that incorporate case studies, fieldwork, one-on-one and multidirectional debates, and question-and-answer sessions. -
Educational framework in which major courses and the liberal arts and basic science courses are organically interrelated and students can advance their learning in a phased manner
Science Tokyo's "wedge-style education" organically connects liberal arts courses to expertise courses, deepening students' understanding of the social significance of their studies in relation to science and technology. This helps them to continue building on their knowledge and skills while focusing on their end goals. Students may also advance their learning in stages from the bachelor's program to graduate programs according to their level of achievement. -
In addition to specialized and liberal arts education, Science Tokyo incorporates broadly defined entrepreneurship education to establish its three pillars of education.
Students can acquire a mindset and skills that allow them to develop and explore new values and to give back to global society. To develop foresight, global competency, leadership, value creation skills, and career development skills, Science Tokyo offers a variety of courses in which students can independently make their own choices and take courses based on their interests.
