GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ADVANCED INTEGRATED STUDIES IN HUMAN SURVIVABILITY, KYOTO UNIVERSITY

In traditional graduate schools, students have contributed to their discipline’s development by working in a faculty member’s laboratory, under their supervision, and studying related research topics. The effectiveness of this approach is evident in the vast body of research produced to date.
However, the emergence of complex global issues that are difficult to address within individual academic fields has created a need for a new approach. Students interested in tackling such complex problems can now propose their own research themes or topics and collaborate with multiple faculty members from different academic fields.
