THE UNITED GRADUATE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES

EHIME UNIVERSITY

CONSORTIUM ORGANIZATION OF

EHIME, KAGAWA AND KOCHI UNIVERSITIES

Agriculture is one of the most fundamental, comprehensive fields of study including

biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, economics or biotechnology. It is necessary to

build a harmonious, sustainable relationship between nature and human society by

integrating a comprehensive, interdisciplinary fields. In order to maintain and to insure

the rich life that people have built and will be sustained into the future, the effective

use of life functions and products by utilizing and developing the capacity of living

things are essential. Accordingly, we call on personal resources who are not bound by

the existing framework and gaining specialized knowledge and practical skills in their

various fields with broad viewpoint and flexible approach not only from a regional

perspective, but also from a view point of conservation of the global environment.

The United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences （a 3-year doctoral program）,

has established a program based on these principles offering three courses：

Bioresource Production Science, Applied Bioresource Science and Life Environment

Conservation Science, which reflect the distinctive strengths of the agriculture faculties

of the three participating universities. These three courses accept students who have

completed a master’s degree not only from Japan. We also offer agricultural research

and study enriched by a global perspective which is enhanced by the excellent

international students participating in the Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture and

Related Sciences program and the Special Doctoral Course Program in Agricultural

Sciences for Students from Asia, Africa and the Pacific Rim who concentrate on

research related to their specific regions.

Agriculture is an important area of science not only for maintaining and improving

the rich life of humankind, but also for preserving and improving the environment and

ecosystem. We are looking for people who are motivated to explore the many

possibilities of agricultural sciences.

close cooperation. Although it draws from the facilities and staff of the Master’s course of each university, the

UGAS-EU is an independent institution which is run separately under its own management and regulations.

Three courses are offered by the UGAS-EU：Bioresource Production Science, Applied Bioresource Science

and Life Environment Conservation Science. There are a total of four departments.

The UGAS-EU consists of three courses and four departments. It has an academic staff which extends beyond thestaff of any one of the constituent universities. Three supervisors are assigned to each student : the supervisor andtwo co-supervisors. The student will be located at the same university as his/her supervisor and one of the co-supervisors. This provides an efficient and effective educational system.

Applicants can choose a supervisor by referring to the list provided on pages１５－２３. Once accepted by thesupervisor, they will take an examination. When they are admitted they will be assigned two co-supervisors. UGAS-EU candidates will receive direct professional guidance and instruction for the doctoral thesis from the supervisor,however, the candidate is free to go to the co-supervisors for further instruction. Upon entering the UGAS-EU thesupervisor will go over the research proposal in close cooperation with the two co-supervisors and the candidate.

The primary goal of the UGAS-EU is to train top level researchers with a broad knowledge of agricultural sciencewho will be able to continue their research activities on their own after graduating.A‘Student Education Program’was established in April,２００６. In this program there is research supervision by

several faculty members, seminars and a mid-term review of both the dissertation and research progress. Theseminars consist of Joint Seminars providing fundamental knowledge, and Special Seminars which are morespecialized in content. In the first year the overnight-style Joint Seminar is held with sessions on thesis writing andpresentation skills.We are also offering competitive programs which provide funding for presenting at international conferences and

independent research projects.The UGAS-EU is eager to welcome students from foreign countries. We feel Japan and UGAS-EU should play a

role in the internationalization of education and in protecting environmental resources. In fact, to further this goal,we have a Special Three-year Program for International Students in Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture andRelated Sciences.In addition, from October,２００２, Ehime, Kagawa and Kochi Universities started a special Master’s program in

Agriculture for international students from Asia, Africa and the Pacific Rim that will lead into our special doctoralcourse for Asian, African and Pacific Rim students.

The three constituent universities each have a history of providing a base for bioresource production throughacademic research, thus promoting the growth of the Shikoku Island region. Therefore, the combined resources ofthese universities should have a greater impact in the fields of agriculture, forestry and fisheries. This will support awider range of research in production technology, the environment and human life issues, and product processing,utilization and distribution.

Our doctoral course requires a residency of three years or more. In addition to earn１２ academic credits, submitdoctoral dissertation and pass the final exam.Candidates who have done outstanding work for their Master's degree may subtract the two years of the Master's

course from the three years of the doctoral course and thus finish in one year.Those who successfully complete their course will receive a doctoral degree in Philosophy.
