Overview
Global Science Course (GSC) is the first-of-its-kind in the University of Tokyo. The course is established in the School of Science to foster future leaders in an international environment.
Details
Selected students from abroad will be accepted into the third year of undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Science.
Lectures in GSC are delivered by world-leading professors in the School of Science. In addition, renowned professors will be invited from abroad to deliver special lectures and seminar talks.
GSC curriculum covers a broad range of subjects. Traditional core areas of science are integrated with advanced concepts to build a solid foundation of knowledge in students and to allow them to embrace new challenging areas at the same time. All courses will be delivered in English to eliminate language barriers in acquiring knowledge and skills as well as engaging in active discussions.
During their two years with us, students are exposed to various fields of science to further expand and broaden their knowledge. At the end of the program, students will be awarded with a Bachelor of Science degree upon fulfilling all graduation requirements.
