Graduate School Admission Policy
The United Graduate School provides unique educational programs with a wide variety of subjects under the
credit-based system and doctoral dissertation research guidance by multiple supervisors through the synergistic
linkage mainly between the Graduate School of Agriculture, Shizuoka University and the Graduate School of
Applied Biological Science, Gifu University.
The principles of agricultural science are: in an ecological system called Earth, to preserve environment; to
develop comprehensive scientific technologies and cultures based on the production of foods and biological
materials; and to contribute to the existence and welfare of mankind. Agricultural science is an integrated science
based on the relationship between biological production, which is essential to human life, and human society,
consisting mainly of biological science, biological resources science, environmental science, life science and social
science. (in Charter of Agricultural Science, Japan, 2002)
The Graduate School aims to cultivate researchers and professional engineers/technologists with highly
professional ability, abundant academic knowledge and a broad perspective of science related to Biological
(animals, plants, and microbial products) Resources, Biological Environment and Biological Resources, and
thereby to contribute to the advancement of agricultural science and development of biological-resources-related
industries. The Graduate School provides education to allow students to acquire extensive knowledge of
agricultural science and to conduct a research on a given subject and seek a solution, and furthermore to develop
the ability to solve problems and the ability to discover research subjects that can be exercised in the boundary
fields and multidisciplinary fields. The Graduate School also welcomes overseas applicants who are willing to
learn and acquire advanced agricultural technologies and science.
Students the Graduate School seeks:
1. Individuals who are willing to understand the integrate nature of agricultural science based on the
existence of mankind and to contribute to the local community and society.
2. Individuals who are willing to set research subjects on their own and to challenge such research subjects.
3. Individuals who are willing to absorb not only professional knowledge but also a wide range of
knowledge.
4. Individuals who have strong ethics and are able to exercise their leadership skills in the agricultural
science and other relevant fields.
5. Individuals who are willing to play an active role on the global stage and have necessary basic ability.

1. Purpose of Foundation
The United Graduate School of Agricultural Science provides a distinctive organization both for research and for
education through the synergistic linkage of three allied universities; Gifu University, Shizuoka University, and
Shinshu University (From 2010, mainly Graduate School of Agriculture of Shizuoka University and Graduate
School of Applied Biological Sciences of Gifu University). We aim to impart sound expertise and wide knowledge
concerning the biological production, biological environment, and biological resources to our students that they
will become researchers and specialists having a high-level of scholarship, thus contributing to the development of
agricultural science and related industries.
In order to meet the strong demand from foreign countries and to contribute to the development of agricultural
science and related industries in foreign countries, the United Graduate School welcomes overseas applicants.
Blessed with its favorable location in the central districts (Chubu Chiho) of Japan, this United Graduate School
also aims at contributing to the development of the Chubu Chiho through cooperation with the industrial sector.
2. Specialized Courses
(1) Science of Biological Production
Students in this course will cover all of the steps in agriculture: from production to trade and marketing of
products. They are requested to study or develop knowledge and expertise on plants, animals, and their products.
On the basis of such progress and integration, they will create a new era in agriculture, not only from the
technological but also from the economical point of view, through the following areas: development of new
biological resources, genetic improvements of plants and animals used hitherto, improvements of the technology
of plant culture, animal feeding, and product preservation and processing.
(2) Science of Biological Environment
It is of vital importance, today and in the future, to expand, improve, and conserve fertile farmland and forests,
which are the basis for biological production. Preserving farmland and forests from disaster and devastation are
also very important.
It is particularly worthy of note that not a few recent world-wide environmental problems are in the area of
agriculture.To solve and to cope with these problems, research programs have been developed, and various
subjects are offered by scholars pursuing research relevant to these problems through advanced technology using
physical, chemical, and biological methods.
(3) Science of Biological Resources
In order to use all of the available biological resources wisely, including animals, plants, and microbial
products, and to solve underlying problems of soil and earth, this course offers deeper knowledge for the
production of biological resources and multidisciplinary research on life sciences. Education and research related
to the structure-function relationships of natural products, endowment of new functionality to unutilized natural
resources, and efficient devices of waste treatment are systematically and collectively conducted from chemical,
biological, physicochemical, biochemical as well as newly developed biotechnological standpoints.

3. Special Features of the United Graduate School of Agricultural Science
(1) At the time of enrollment, each student may request a professor as his/her primary academic supervisor
from the Fields of Instruction and Research Themes of Professors. The United Graduate School of
Agricultural Science then assigns a professor as a primary academic supervisor and a field of study to each
student based on the request.
(2) Each student at the United Graduate School of Agricultural Science will be assigned one primary
academic supervisor and two co-academic supervisors.
(3) Although all students are registered with Gifu University, they conduct their course work mainly at the
location where his/her primary academic supervisor is located.
The facilities and equipment at participating university locations are, however, available to all students.
4. Requirements for Doctoral Degree
Our doctoral course requires a residency of three years or more. (Persons who have achieved particularly out-
standing research results may complete the course in less than three years.) In addition to earning 12 credits by
required subjects (at least 9 credits) and elective subjects (at least 3 credits), a student must pass the doctoral dis-
sertation review along with the final examination. Those who successfully complete the course will be conferred
a doctoral degree in Philosophy (Agricultural Science).

Production
Plant Production
and Management
This major chair covers a wide spectrum of disciplines, ranging
from production to supply of plant products to consumers. There are
three major disciplines under the chair, and their objectives are:
1) Plant production science, which covers fields such as crop and
horticultural sciences, and plant genetics and breeding. Advanced
technology in genetic engineering, seed and sapling production,
cultivation technology and biotechnology are its main objectives.
2) Science of plant product distribution, which covers postharvest
technique and logistics of plant products. Research and education in a
series of scientific fields from harvest to supply for consumers are the
main objectives.
3) Science of business management, which comprehensively covers
advanced studies for productivity, profitability and sustainable
development and cultural advancements for business, rural, and
national economies in conjunction with information sciences.
Animal
Resource
Production
As the major chair covering the field of animal science, all
disciplines in the chair are directed to research on animals, mainly
mammals and birds, relating directly or indirectly to human welfare
and life. By continuous efforts to give students newer scientific
information and technology, the chair conducts high-level education
for research in a wide variety of fields of animal science such as
anatomy, physiology, genetics, development, reproduction, nutrition,
management of livestock and grassland, and feed and product
processing. Active use of biotechnology, including gene handling and
information processing to increase the productivity of animals, is also
a major concern.

including proteins, nucleic acids and other bio-macromolecules
involved, effective utilization and efficient control of the biological
functions possessed by all living cells are comprehensively studied.
Based upon these findings, extensive research is done to develop
desirable, ideal systems for bio-production using biotechnological
principles, i.e., gene recombinant, cell culture, and enzyme- and cell-
immobilization techniques.
