Master in Biological and Bioagricultural Sciences Graduate Program (G30)

The tuition fee is 535,800 JPY per year.

Nagoya University, described as a comprehensive research university in Japan's Tokai region, offers the Biological and Bioagricultural Sciences Graduate Program (G30) as a master's degree taught in English at its Aichi campus. The university credits a free and vigorous academic culture for its research results and for graduates who go on to contribute to society. This master's program runs for two years, with admission each October. The program combines biological science with applied agricultural study, covering topics such as plant and animal biology, genetics, food science, and biotechnology as applied to agriculture. Master's-level coursework in this field typically involves advanced study of biological mechanisms alongside training in experimental and analytical methods, moving students toward a research project or thesis that applies these methods to a specific scientific question. Laboratory work is a central component, giving students practical experience with the techniques used in biological and agricultural research, and coursework often includes statistics and experimental design relevant to the life sciences. Graduates from programs of this kind typically pursue further doctoral study, research roles in biotechnology and food science companies, positions in agricultural research institutes, or work connected to food security and sustainable agriculture. The two-year structure allows time for coursework followed by a period of guided research. Located in Aichi, a prefecture recognized for its manufacturing and industrial base as well as agricultural production, students in this program are positioned to see how biological research connects to both industry and agriculture in a practical regional setting.
