1. Cross-curricular Program
The KUAS Faculty of Bioenvironmental Sciences consists of two departments: Environmental and Bioresource Sciences and Applied Biological Sciences. In the first half of the program, students will study foundational subjects related to natural phenomena and the workings of life, common to both departments. In the latter half, they will delve deeper into specialized subjects, but they also have the option to broaden their academic horizons by taking lectures from other departments if they wish. This unique curriculum offered by KUAS Bio aims to enhance students’ interests and curiosity.
2. KUAS Bio’s Capstone: Research with Outside Experience
KUAS Bio’s capstone focuses on collaborative research. Students work with external companies, research institutions, and another department to conduct research on their selected topics. This allows students to gain progressive knowledge and growth not only from within one laboratory, but from a variety of researchers, making their research more advanced and practical. This accumulated experience will pave the way for the student’s success in their career after graduation.
3. Fieldwork-friendly Campus
The 231,764㎡ KUAS Kameoka Campus is home to the Faculty of Bioenvironmental Sciences, which includes full-scale laboratories, fields for growing crops, and a forest ideal for observing and investigating nature. The Bioenvironmental Sciences Program focuses on gaining hands-on experience at these facilities. Students can acquire in-depth practical training in the surrounding wildlife without leaving campus.
4. Intensive Japanese Courses
KUAS provides all international students with intensive Japanese language courses to broaden their future career paths at no additional cost. After acquiring Japanese language proficiency, students can also take classes conducted in Japanese. By studying with Japanese students and engaging in cultural exchange, students can deepen their knowledge and interpersonal skills and increase their employment options.
