Key Summary

    About : The Master in Life Sciences offers a multidisciplinary approach to understanding complex biological systems. This program provides in-depth knowledge and practical skills in areas such as molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry. Students engage in research projects and hands-on training, preparing them for advanced study or professional roles. The program typically spans two years and emphasizes the importance of scientific inquiry and innovation. Collaboration with experienced faculty enhances the learning experience.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various careers in research, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, or healthcare. Potential roles include laboratory manager, research scientist, or biotechnologist. Opportunities also exist in academia and government, where graduates can contribute to scientific advancements and public policy.

The Graduate Schools of Engineering (established in 1967) and Science (established in 1978) were unified, and the Graduate School of Science and Engineering of Ehime University started in 1996. This Graduate School was reorganized in 2006.

The main educational objective is to offer opportunities for professional development and career enhancement to the students through lectures and research activities, which range widely from basic science to practical engineering fields. Interdisciplinary researches between science and technology can also be carried out easily as well as cooperative or project researches in the Graduate School.
