Master en Agriculture et Sciences de la Vie

Advanced education and research in the field of Agriculture and Life Sciences

The master’s program consists of five courses:

• Biology
• Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
• Applied Biosciences
• Agriculture & Horticulture
• Agricultural & Environmental Engineering

Students may choose one of two academic programs depending on their future plans: the academic research program (training of researchers) or practical research program (training of technical experts).

The Master’s degree in Agriculture and Life Sciences is awarded to those who have earned enough credits and have submitted an approved dissertation. We are aiming for understanding a widespread technique and the training of the altitude specialist who can contribute to the development of the expert community, a superior engineer with an international field of vision, and the researcher who receives the request in the times in advance and can challenge an advanced study.

Hirosaki University was founded more than 70 years ago, in 1949, meaning that the official start date of our university coincides with the establishment of the current Japanese higher educational system. In actuality, Hirosaki University has a history of almost 140 years, though, as this institution is the descendant of Aomori Teachers College, which was an esteemed model for modern general education, and from which we derive Hirosaki University’s basic and most important tenets.

Hirosaki City not only has a rich historical and cultural background but is also blessed with beautiful nature. We are not only surrounded by physical beauty, but we are most fortunate in terms of human resources. We receive a lot of support from local residents, and our students, faculty and staff are grateful and happy to have the opportunity to study and work in this ideal environment.
