Tohoku University has promoted a global education and research environment under the initiative of the 21st President, Dr. Susumu Satomi, based on our traditional philosophy of "Opening the door" from the establishment of our university. The Division for International Joint Graduate Programs, Tohoku University Institute for Promoting Graduate Degree Programs that began in 2015, is improving joint degree programs with international collaborative universities/institutes.

The Neuro Global International Joint Graduate Program will officially begin in April of 2018 in the fields of life science and neuroscience. Students will be selected from graduate students belonging to Graduate School of Life Sciences and Graduate School of Medicine, and provided various opportunities such as to attend special lectures in English, Spring School for academic English training, Summer School with distinguished scientists, and so on.

Those who pass Qualifying Exam 1 (QE1) can study abroad for several in host laboratories in collaborating universities/institutes with financial support for travel cost and accommodation. We recruit excellent students from domestic and overseas.

Further internationalization is required for researchers who will be active in the field of life science and neuroscience in the future. By all means, do participate in Tohoku University Neuro Global Program and acquire international research capabilities and leadership.
