NIMS Joint Graduate School Program

NIMS researchers supervise postgraduate students as university professors

In this unique graduate program based on agreement with Japanese universities, the selected NIMS researchers are assigned to university professors who supervise those university postgraduate students. The students are able to conduct research using the advanced facilities in an internationally acclaimed research environment, while they study towards getting a degree. With obtaining their degree and professional recognition and skills, many of the program alumni have careers in materials science.
