The Programs in Physics offer high-level education and opportunities to study
and understand fundamental properties of matter under various conditions.
The quality of the Programs is ensured by our intensive research activities
in a broad range of physics, including particle physics, astrophysics, nuclear physics,
condensed-matter physics, and plasma physics. We also offer the Cooperative Graduate School system,
in which adjunct professors at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, National Institute of
Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and RIKEN provide research and educational supervision.
The curriculum in the Physics Program is systematically organized. In the two-year Master's program,
students will master fundamental theories and basic experimental techniques.
They also start research on subjects in the field of their specialty. At the end of the second year,
they submit a master's thesis. In the following three-year Doctoral Program, they will pursue advanced
research topics under the close supervision of their thesis advisors. At the end of the Program, they submit a doctoral thesis.
One of the characteristic features of the Physics Program is its high research activities
through international collaborations. Many graduate students join these projects and carry
out their research as visitors to foreign institutions, such as Fermi and Brookhaven National
Laboratories in USA and the CERN Laboratory in Europe.
The goal of the Program is to provide students with the opportunities to train themselves
to be academic researchers and highly skilled professionals, who will be able to pursue
their own original researches and to apply what they have learned to the problems of the
real world. We are committed to achieving these goals.

Master's degree
1. Course requirements : "Colloquium
on Pure and Applied Sciences", 2credits: and 7 credits or more from the other "fundamental subject" courses. 12 credits from "special research" I ~ II in their own field. Total of 30 credits or more including those specified
above.
2. M.S. thesis : After having acquired the required credits
of courses and seminars, the student should submit a M.S. thesis
and take an oral examination.
Doctoral degree
1. Course requirements : "Physics Research Seminar". 2 credits.
2. Doctoral thesis : The student should submit a doctoral thesis
and take an oral examination. In normal cases, it will happen during
or at the end of the third year in the doctoral program. However,
an exceptional student can submit his/her thesis a near earlier.
