Shimane and Shimane Medical Universities amalgamated on October 1st, 2003. The new Shimane University has two main campuses, and consists of five faculties. Law and Literature, Education, Life and Environmental Science, and the Interdisciplinary Faculty of Science and Engineering are housed at the Matsue campus, and the Faculty of Medicine is based at the Izumo campus. The combined Shimane University now has 1,881 staff and 6,125 students, including some 170 international students as of May 1st, 2013. Shimane University now has five graduate schools (Humanities and Social Science, Education, Medicine, Science and Engineering, and Life and Environmental Science), and three doctorate graduate schools (Medicine, the Interdisciplinary Faculty of Science and Engineering, and the United Graduate School of Agricultural Science). In addition, the university also operates several other research centers, facilities and hospitals. In addition to undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students, there are several other categories of students comprising auditors, special auditors, and research students. Since its establishment, Shimane University has endeavored to cultivate persons of ability who will contribute to the development of society. With this in mind and its historical background, the university aspires to be an international university opened to the South-East Asia and Pacific Rim regions. Shimane University has Academic Exchange Agreements with 40 universities in 13 countries. 3.Features of Graduate School The Division of Life and Environmental Science was established in April 2000, and reorganized in 2008. The division consists of three courses: Biological Science and Biotechnology, Agriculture and Forest Science, and Environmental Science and Technology. Students must take four semesters to complete a course which begins in April or October. Each student chooses one of three academic programs depending on his/her future plan: the researcher-oriented program, professional-oriented program, or local industrialist-oriented program. The Master’s degree in Life and Environmental Science is awarded to those who have earned enough credits and have submitted an approved dissertation in the fourth semester. 4.Features of the Program and Curriculum in each Field of Study Master course students will select one course out of the following 3 courses listed below depending on their study themes / consultation with academic supervisor. Besides, students will belong to the laboratory of the supervisor and conduct a research to write a thesis.
