Gunma University has set ambitious goals for the development of doctoral-level human resources.
Our primary objective is to broaden students' horizons and cultivate a rich foundation as researchers
through collaboration with researchers in different fields adding to deepen and pursue expertise.
Second, we aim to nurture the ability to promote research independently and with one's own will.
We also aim to develop human resources who can play an active role not only in academia but also
in various contexts, including industry.
This program is the embodiment of our unwavering commitment to these goals. We provide financial
support that allows you to focus on their research and guidance from leading educators and researchers in various fields.
These experts share their cutting-edge knowledge and experience with you, and actively
promote exchange with the international academic community.
We are dedicated to supporting you all, doctoral and postdoctoral students so that you can refine your knowledge and expertise and build careers as future leaders of society.
We are excited to walk with you on this journey of intellectual exploration and achievement, and to share
in the joy of your successes.
