The Graduate School of Marine Science and Technology is the first education institution established in Japan covering the comprehensive fields of basic and applied marine science and technology.
Oceans cover more than two-thirds of the earth's surface.
In order to investigate and exploit the ocean, it is necessary to integrate scientific knowledge from many fields and to create a new field of science that deals with the natural mechanisms of the ocean and application of recent advanced technologies. Students in the graduate school have the potential capacity for future creative achievement of specialized fields in marine science and application of technology to the development of the world's oceans for the purpose of human welfare. The Graduate School of Marine Science and Technology was founded in 1967 in the Shimizu campus of Tokai University. Four courses are provided, i.e., Course of ocean engineering, Course of fisheries, Course of marine science, and Course of marine bioscience. The major programs of the Course of ocean engineering are marine electronics, ocean civil engineering and naval architecture.
