Institute of Environmental Radioactivity

Master's Program

The Major in Environmental Radioactivity (Master's Program) consists of three fields: ecology, modeling and measurement, with each field offering educational and research opportunities (outlined below). We seek students who are interested in any of these fields, and find their chosen field to be a good fit for themselves.

Major in Environmental Radioactivity 　

Ecology

Based on research in ecology, biology, and radioecological field arising from them, this field develops professional knowledge, expertise, and skills; the ability to use practical knowledge and solve problems; and the attitude to understand phenomena from multifaceted perspectives.
