Overview
The Global Environmental Studies Program is based on international research projects promoted by the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN). This interdisciplinary research with elements of transdisciplinarity utilizes a problem-solving approach in collaboration with society. The program is designed for students to gain knowledge and methodologies accumulated in the academic fields that constitute Global Environmental Studies and to become independent researchers who will engage in solving global environmental issues with their expertise. The program provides small-group education and research training in an environment conductive for cutting-edge research.
This program offers a three-year doctoral program for students who have obtained a master's degree. Students in this program will study and conduct research at the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) in Kyoto.
