Promotion of Scientific Research

Chapter 2. Improvement and Expansion of the Basis of Scientific Research

1 Enrichment of Research Systems

1 University Faculties and Graduate Schools

University faculties form the basic organization of education and research. Usually, each faculty is composed of several undergraduate courses.

Graduate schools are assigned important roles to play in strengthening the foundation of scientific research through their promotion of basic research, and the fostering of researchers and professionals. Graduate schools mostly consist of several departments corresponding to undergraduate faculties and are managed in one united body with mother faculties. Recently, however, universities are establishing postgraduate divisions or courses which are independent of the undergraduate faculties. Also a new type of university, which consists of graduate schools only, has been established.
