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 two-year Master Course for 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.
Applicants for EPAT's Master's degree program must determine their field of study from the courses below
and select a relevant supervisor(s) listed in the faculty list. The applicants should contact the supervisor(s) before
