Graduates from the School of Science may proceed their study in the newly established three Graduate Schools in Hokkaido University, namely, the Graduate School of Science, the Graduate School of Life Science and the Graduate School of Chemical Sciences and Engineering. With national universities having been incorporated, there is a strong demand for government-industry-academia collaboration and the active utilization of intellectual property. However, since many new technologies that contribute to society are based on fundamental scientific research, we intend to focus on basic research and aim for a fundamentals based graduate education. Specifically, we plan to breed up talented students who are able to realize their potential and capabilities by utilizing a fundamentals oriented curriculum versus the traditional national qualifications based educational programs.
