Outline

　The Planetary Materials Science Course of the Graduate School of Environmental, Life, Natural Science of Technology offers three educational programs: The Master’s Course, the Doctoral Course, and the Five-year doctoral course in Planetary Materials Science (Blue Planets). The requirements for completion of the Master’s or Doctoral courses are the same as those for other courses in the Graduate School of Environmental, Life, Natural Science and Technology. Graduate students who chose the “Blue Planets” course at the time of admission to the Master’s Course of the Planetary Materials Science Program will get a five-years doctoral educational program. If the student is evaluated to have outstanding ability, he/she can obtain a doctoral degree in three years, which is the minimum required period for obtaining a PhD degree. In the Blue Planets Special Course, graduate students from other research fields can also get a systematic education in planetary materials science through a five-year planned study curriculum.
　In order to obtain a PhD degree in the “Blue Planets” course, students must earn the required credits and pass the Proposal Defense and the Dissertation Defense, which are administered within two years and five years of admission, respectively. The Proposal Defense and Dissertation Defense are conducted under a review system involving faculty members of the Planetary Materials Science Course and researchers affiliated with foreign research institutions who are highly knowledgeable in the subject research field, and are conducted in accordance with international standards.

Objective

　The Planetary Materials Science Course (including Blue Planets Course) aims to train outstanding young researchers who can lead planetary materials science internationally by combining advanced research and teaching abilities through systematic study of planetary materials science related to the origin, evolution of materials, and dynamics of the solar system and planets. The program also aims to create future-oriented next-generation researchers to explore the sustainability of the “Blue Planets”.

Method of enrollment

　Students who wish to enroll in the Planetary Materials Science Course (including the Blue Planets Course) must have a faculty member in charge of one of the following courses as their academic advisor.

  • Graduate School of Environmental, Life, Natural Science and Technology
    　Division of Environmental，Life，Natural Science and Technology
    　Degree Program in Earth，Environmental and Life Sciences
    　Planetary Materials Science Course
