The Optics and Bio Design Program

Degrees Offered

Degree Titles Doctor of Optical Science and Engineering
Doctor of Agriculture
Doctor of Engineering

Educational Mission

Drawing on the University’s expertise in optical engineering and molecular agriculture, the Program will foster human resources who help in the advancement of various domains as engineers and researchers and contribute to the development of a sustainable society. The Program will integrate life sciences—which connect invisible genetic information (analysis of genes which are big data) with visible life phenomena (the practical application in the agricultural field)—with various perspectives of optical engineering and chemistry, thereby connecting biology with optics.

Three Program Policies

1Admissions Policy

  • Individuals who possess basic knowledge, cultural refinement, and master’s level academic skills, so that they can pursue advanced learning in the domains of optical engineering, molecular agriculture, and chemistry and engage in research to complete a doctoral dissertation
  • Individuals seeking to gain creative skills by acquiring extensive knowledge in various disciplines, in addition to their own
  • Individuals who are eager to understand the role of their expertise in the local community and society, contribute to the local community, and play a leadership role

2Curriculum Policy

  • Specialist elective subjects shall be offered with the aim of providing advanced specialist knowledge and technical skills in the fields of optical engineering, molecular agriculture, and chemistry.
  • Advanced Seminars on Minors and On-site Studies, including internships and fieldwork, shall be offered as compulsory elective subjects aimed at providing candidates with a wide range of knowledge, an understanding of the need for the integration of diverse fields of study, multi-faceted perspectives, and an awareness of the role of their own field of specialization in the community and society.
  • Advanced Exercises and Advanced Research shall be offered as required subjects contributing to the “Plan, Do, Check, Action” cycle necessary for research progression, including researcher ethics.

3Degree Conferment Policy

  • Successful candidates shall possess global perspectives in order to contribute to science, technology, and innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals (STI for SDGs) as well as advanced knowledge and technical skills in optical engineering, molecular agriculture, or chemistry. These are necessary to resolve 21st century problems relevant to optical engineering, life systems, food supply and the environment, as well as to contribute to the development of industry.
  • Successful candidates shall possess the fundamental knowledge and technical skills that form the basis of cutting-edge studies in optical engineering. Students should also be skilled in the application of technologies to analyze genetic information, as well as foundational skills in biochemistry and chemistry, within industrial and governmental contexts.
  • Successful candidates shall possess high-level communication skills, allowing them to practice across a diverse range of contexts related to their field of specialization.
