Super Smart Society: New interdisciplinary graduate major for doctoral students to be launched in April 2026

The new program, a successor to the Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education for Super Smart Society (WISE-SSS), offers the opportunity to explore convergence science by integrating a variety of different fields, including science and engineering, and the medical, dental, and nursing sciences.

• The Graduate Major in Super Smart Society will formally offer institutional degree accreditation, unlike WISE-SSS.
• The program will be specifically designed for doctoral students.
• The program will deliver research and education in close collaboration with society through the SSS Promotion Consortium, as with WISE-SSS. By leveraging fields beyond traditional disciplines and working closely with industry, the program will offer hands-on research through interdisciplinary collaboration and socially engaged education.

Graduate Major in Super Smart Society students will have access to the following:

Students of the program will learn cutting-edge technologies through comprehensive on-demand lectures delivered by top-tier instructors from leading companies, research institutions, and government agencies. They will gain exposure to entrepreneurial know-how and diverse career paths in real-world learning environments. Science Tokyo encourages interested candidates to take advantage of this unique opportunity to explore new possibilities and contribute to the creation of next-generation industries. More information is available on the program website.

An information session for this new graduate major will be held on October 29, 2025. Master’s students who are planning to enroll in a doctoral course are especially encouraged to join, but undergraduate students are also welcome. In addition, this session will introduce the SSS Matching Workshop, scheduled to be held on November 26, which allows Science Tokyo students to interact with companies and research institutes in the Super Smart Society Promotion Consortium.
