Graduate School Instruction<\/h2>\n

The faculty member in charge of the Department of Global Environment and Disaster Prevention, who is qualified to teach the Master\u2019s Course was in charge of the Global Environmental Studies Course. However, it was renamed the \u201cGraduate School of Science and Technology, Global Environmental and Disaster Studies Course\u201d for students enrolled in April 2020. Instead, Hirosaki University has established the Graduate School of Sustainable Community Studies (Master\u2019s Course) in April 2020. In the master\u2019s program, the faculty members of the Department of Global Environment and Disaster Prevention are divided into two groups: those in charge of the \u201cGraduate School of Science and Technology, Course of Global Environment and Disaster Prevention\u201d and those in charge of the \u201cGraduate School of Sustainable Community Studies.\u201d For the details of Graduate School in Charge both in Master\u2019s Course and Doctoral Course, please refer to Faculty Members<\/a> page.
