Master in Graduate Program on Environmental Sciences

For Master in Graduate Program on Environmental Sciences, tuition fees are 3,372 USD per year.

Taught in English with an April start date, the Graduate Program on Environmental Sciences is a two-year master's program at The University of Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan. The University of Tokyo is Japan's oldest national university, founded in 1877, and organizes education and research across ten faculties and fifteen graduate schools. The master's program covers environmental sciences from an interdisciplinary perspective, addressing subjects such as climate science, ecology, environmental policy, natural resource management, and sustainability. Students typically follow a curriculum of core and elective coursework paired with a supervised research project or thesis on a specific environmental topic, applying fieldwork, laboratory, or modeling methods depending on their focus area. The program draws students from natural science, social science, and policy backgrounds to examine environmental challenges from multiple disciplinary angles. A master's degree in environmental sciences prepares graduates for roles in environmental consulting, government agencies, corporate sustainability functions, international organizations working on climate and sustainability issues, and nongovernmental organizations, as well as further doctoral study, including the University of Tokyo's own doctoral-level Graduate Program on Environmental Sciences. English proficiency test requirements are handled on a case-by-case basis, with TOEFL or IELTS accepted; TOEIC is not accepted. Applicants undergo screening of documents and an interview that includes an oral examination and presentation, though no short essay or practical exam is required. There is no transfer system, and pre-arrival admission is available, allowing accepted students to be admitted before arriving in Japan to begin the two-year master's program.
