Creation of Advanced Science and Technology in the Future

The Graduate School of Science and Technology (Doctoral Course) consists of two courses of Advanced Materials Science and Technology and Safety Science and Technology . The former covers the development of useful materials and their application technology and the latter does crisis-controlling technology for natural and human-originating disasters in the highly developed society. Each course aims to bring up engineers who will be able to solve problems with a flexible and perspective consideration from the whole situation.

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.
