Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, the University of Tokyo
Educational and Research Objectives：
Pharmaceutical Sciences is an academic field that covers the development and application ofpharmaceuticals. The field encompasses fundamental, life-related substances and their interactions withlife. The mission of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Tokyo is toachieve the highest standard in academic research as well as to train and educate future leaders who willcontribute to the development of pharmaceutical sciences and basic life sciences, governmental policies
on medical and pharmaceutical affairs, and also contribute to our society as pharmacists capable ofhighly advanced medical treatment.
Admission Policy：
The University of Tokyo Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences’ Doctoral Program in Dept. of
Pharmaceutical Sciences engages in top-level education and research activity focused on the fields oforganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry, following the school’s diploma policy andcurriculum policy. It seeks to develop talented researchers in drug-discovery science and basic life
science who are ready to be leaders across the wide range of fields covered by pharmaceutical sciences,including chemical, physical, and biological pharmaceutical science.
With these goals in mind, the school’s Doctoral Program in Dept. of Pharmaceutical Sciences seeks
applicants able to independently and integratedly acquire the pharmaceutical thought process with roots
in deep specialization and gain advanced logical methodologies and analytical abilities, as well as people
who want to take developmental leadership roles across the range of core and applied sciences coveredby pharmaceutical sciences, based on advanced knowledge and research capacity, and work in their fieldon the international stage in the future.
The selection process will test applicants in specialized knowledge, and English-language skills related
to the above fields by written or other methods of specialized examination, oral examination, foreign
language examination, examination of the thesis for a master's degree or its substitute, and academic
