Currently, there are high expectations for biotechnology as a solution to various problems. In particular, the fields of “medicine and pharmaceuticals,” “food and agriculture,” and “environment and energy,” which are directly connected to our daily lives, can be solved using biotechnology. In both Japan and China, biotechnology is recognized as one of the most important area. The Bio Course offers a joint graduate program through close collaboration between two leading science and engineering universities: Institute of Science Tokyo and Tsinghua University. This program not only trains students with cutting-edge knowledge and reliable techniques in biotechnology, but also provides opportunities to learn Chinese society and culture. We aim to foster talented pioneer in a new era of biotechnology. We invite you to take this important first step with us.

Entering the 21st century, life science has become the most vibrant frontier subject in the field of natural science, as it plays crucial roles in the development of human society. The solution of many challenges facing our society, such as population expansion, aging society, disease hazards, food safety, energy crisis, ecological environment deterioration, biodiversity, etc., all rely on the break through of life science. It is a frontier field full of opportunities and challenges, and it is the duty of our two institutions to cultivate creative talent with global competence to lead the global collaboration in the field. Through our dual-Master degree program, we will create all opportunities for students to take excellent courses from our two universities, encourage academic exchange, explore frontier research topics, and comprehensively improve students’ quality, international vision, scientific spirit and innovative ability.
