Division of Graduate Studies

Kyoto University Division of Graduate Studies

Mission

In order to encourage excellent and motivated students to gather at our university from home and abroad and work hard together, it is necessary to solve the major issues common to our graduate schools, such as alleviating the major financial burdens of entering graduate school instead of getting a job, clarifying future career paths, and providing educational opportunities and support which connect students to the career. The newly established Division of Graduate Studies will work on priority issues that need to be accelerated throughout the university, for example implementation, planning and operation of common / cross-graduate education, support and quality assurance of various cross-graduate education programs, management of financial support for graduate students, career support, industry-academia collaboration support, recruitment of international students and international education (short-term study abroad(receiving research guidance from overseas researcher)overseas internships, etc.)
