Schools・Departments・Courses
In April 2016, Tokyo Institute of Technology was the first university in Japan to unify its undergraduate and graduate schools into "Gakuin" in Japanese. These integrated schools offers seamless education from undergraduate to master and doctoral degree programs called "courses". Integration allows for greater flexibility for the students to achieve their educaiton goals according to individual interests and career goals.
