APPLICATION FORM (Appendix)

THE FOREIGN STUDENTS OF EDUCATION PROGRAM OF ADVANCED T-SHAPEDPERSON FOR CO-DEVELOPMENT OF ASEAN AND JAPAN (EPAT)The Education Program of Advanced T-shaped Person for Co-development of ASEAN and Japan (EPAT)
provides all lectures, seminars, and internships, etc. on global environmental, energy problems and healthscience expertise in English for both foreign and Japanese students. The EPAT is an educational course in the
Graduate School of Science and Engineering and Graduate School of Advanced Health Science, Saga University,that started in October 2023, in order to nurture “T-shaped advanced human resources” who have a corporate
perspective and AI data science besides a deep specialized research and development capabilities. This is a callfor application to a three-year Doctoral Course from the academic year of October, 2024 and April 2025.
Environmental, energy and resource problems associated with rapid economic development are
particularly serious in Asian countries, many of which are developing countries. For the sound development ofdeveloping countries, it is necessary to fully understand and analyze the challenges that Asian countries face,
and to develop comprehensive technologies that also include management. EPAT will be established in the
Graduate School of Science and Engineering and the Graduate School of Advanced Health Sciences in order tonurture “T-shaped advanced human resources” who have a corporate perspective and AI data science besides a
deep specialized research and development capabilities. We aim to develop human resources who candemonstrate leadership in research and development related to the environment, equipped with specialized
knowledge of science and engineering and medical engineering, a business perspective, and knowledge of AI
and data science. We will contribute to the common development of ASEAN and Japan in order to solve energy
and resource issues.
In the Doctoral Course program of the EPAT, education and research guidance of the fields are given in
the Graduate School of Science and Engineering: Mechanical and Electrical Energy Engineering, Civil
Engineering and Architectural Design and Biological and Material Engineering. Applicants are encouraged todecide the research fields and prospective relevant supervisor(s) appearing on the List of Academic Staffs, andcontact with the supervisor(s).
Students who complete the Doctoral Course program of the EPAT are granted the Doctor’s Degree (Doctorof Philosophy in Science or Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering). The month of entrance is October, 2024 orApril 2025, and they can enter the EPAT course immediately after completing their Master’s Degree program
without learning Japanese language.

GUIDE FOR THE APPLICATION FOR THE FOREIGN STUDENTS OF EDUCATION PROGRAM FORAI AND DATA SCIENCE SPECIALISTS (EPAD)
The Education program for AI and Data Science Specialists (EPAD) provides all lectures, seminars, andinternships, etc. on AI and data science technologies in English for both foreign and Japanese students. Students
from overseas can learn and study completely in Japan without a hurdle of Japanese language. The EPAD is an
educational course in the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Saga University, that started in October
2022, in order to bring up global researchers and engineers who will contribute to technological innovation in
AI and data science fields. This is a call for application to a three-year Doctoral Course from the academic yearof October, 2024 and April, 2025.
The wisdom that mankind has created by the academic deepening has brought humanity a prosperous life
through developing science and technology. To improve science and technology, it is necessary to sustain efforts
from the viewpoint of AI and data science technologies. Educational study of AI and data science should be
performed from the all-round and global viewpoint. The EPAD has been established in the Graduate School of
Science and Engineering in order to discuss and solve AI and data science problems. The scope and goal of thisEPAD is the education for students to possess an all-round insight for AI and data science from the global pointof view after their completion by acquiring knowledge and thinking power.
In the Doctoral Course program of the EPAD, education and research guidance of the fields are given by
the Mathematical and Information Science Course, Mechanical and Electrical Energy Engineering Course,
Biological and Material Engineering Course in the Graduate School of Science and Engineering. Applicants areencouraged to decide the research fields and prospective relevant supervisor(s) appearing on the List of
Academic Staffs, and contact with the supervisor(s).
Students who complete the Doctoral Course program of the EPAD are granted the Doctor’s Degree (Doctorof Philosophy in Science or Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering). The month of entrance for foreign students
is October, 2024 or April 2025 and they can enter the EPAD course immediately after completing their Master’s
