Academics The University of Tsukuba students have plentiful opportunities to build up a broad liberal education by learning from many accessible disciplines in various schools and colleges — covering medicine, sports, and arts — outside of their chosen majors. Interdisciplinary, Cross-Sectional Education System Educators at the University of Tsukuba belong to research, we have made it possible for educators to “faculties”; each pursues basic research and teaches participate in different departments and schools, at his or her assigned school, college, graduate thus promoting a more interdisciplinary, school, program, and center, but the basic affiliation cross-sectional structure conducive to the easier remains with a single faculty. By making the creation of new programs. organizational units that educators belong to (i.e., the faculties) independent of where they teach and Teaching Research New Degree Program Model New degree programs Building an educational system with 2012 Bachelor’s degree programs Master’s and doctoral programs Institutes, centers Established at the School of Integrative and Schools, colleges Graduate schools, programs (Research) global validity and compatibility Global Majors The new degree program model at the University of Ph.D. Program in Human Biology School of Integrative and Global Majors Tsukuba is designed from the perspective of its 2014 (Multi-disciplinary degree program, etc.) Strategic initiatives students, who study to acquire the knowledge, skills, Established at the School of Integrative and and competences most appropriate to their Global Majors particular degrees. Namely, the academic content of Ph.D. Program in Empowerment Informatics Institutes, centers Research units the degree programs is structured according to the (Education and student support) Research groups students’ needs. Based on this model, our School Established at the Graduate School of Systems of Integrative and Global Majors houses and and Information Engineering operates the degree programs which transcend traditional organizational and disciplinary Master’s/Doctoral Program in Policy and Planning Sciences boundaries.

There are currently Master’s Program in Mountain Studies remain flexible and open, creating new programs ten faculties covering a broad spectrum of and revamping organizations as appropriate to keep disciplines. Established at the Master’s Program in Education up with academic advancements and society’s Master’s Program in Education (International Education) requirements. To that end, we have introduced a Established at the School of Integrative and new organizational structure: Educators are now Global Majors affiliated with “faculties,” which are separate from
