Degree：Master of Molecular Agriculture Graduate Program in Molecular Agriculture

Contribute to the future of “agriculture” using “knowledge” of cutting-edge life science.

The program aims to produce personalities who can provide (additional) brand-new values in Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, with their skills in genetic information analyses and insight into its expression mechanisms common to all organisms. The program offers opportunities to learn advanced, state-of-the-art expertise, which enables to utilize molecular-level knowledge in real community.
