DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION
FOR
THE SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS
IN ARID LAND AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, 2015
(THREE-YEAR DOCTORAL COURSE)
The United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences
Tottori University
Japan
The United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences (UGAS), Tottori University, was founded in 1989 as an
independent three-year Doctoral course. The UGAS is organized on the basis of the three Master's Courses of Tottori,
Shimane and Yamaguchi Universities, and the research facilities at the Universities. The UGAS is operated in close
alliance and cooperation with the Master's Courses of the three constituent Universities.
The Special Program (SP) for foreign students in Arid Land Agricultural Sciences in the UGAS is designed for those
students who have finished the Special Program of the Master's courses (Pre-Doctoral Courses) at the constituent
Universities; Tottori, Shimane and Yamaguchi. Because the SP at the UGAS is to be open as of October 2015, any foreign
students at large can apply for the SP in the field of arid land agricultural sciences and related sciences.
Ⅰ. PURPOSE OF THE SPECIAL PROGRAM
This Special Program (SP) is designed to provide academically advanced education to study bioresources,
environmental foundation and management for agriculture in the arid land areas in the world. The students are expected
to learn the basic and applied sciences related to the areas so that they are able to conduct appropriate measures to deal
with desertification and food supply issues.
Ⅱ. FIELDS OF STUDY AND NUMBER OF STUDENTS TO BE ADMITTED
1.
Fields of Study: Applications for any field in arid land agricultural sciences and related sciences are accepted,
provided that each applicant finds a suitable academic major advisor in the annexed "List of Supervisors and
