Besides the foundations of heavy ion therapeutics and engineering, this Program provides lectures and training related to a wide range of related scientific fields. In addition, the students have opportunities of internships at companies and related medical institutions to establish a career path after graduation. Furthermore, in order to develop a broad perspective on heavy ion medical science, the graduate students attend to international conferences and join research activities in foreign research institutions (international educational training) to develop young researchers internationally playing an active role.
This Program develops international leaders in radiation oncology, physical engineering, and medical biology, and provides high-quality researchers and developers to radiation and heavy ion research centers and heavy ion radiation therapy facilities in Japan and overseas. Only students in Graduate School of Medicine or Graduate School of Science and Technology can take this program. We offer 4-year PhD program for students in Graduate School of Medicine and 5-year MA/PhD program for students in Graduate School of Science and Technology. The program allows excellent students in Graduate School of Medicine and in Graduate School of Science and Technology to obtain PhD, in three years and in four years respectively.
Students who have succeeded in thesis defense and completed the program are conferred the following diplomas.
[Diploma for students in Graduate School of Medicine]
Doctor of Philosophy in Medical Sciences (Program for Cultivating Global Leaders in Heavy Ion Radiotherapy, Science and Technology)
[Diploma for students in Graduate School of Science and Technology]
Doctor of Philosophy in Science and Technology (Program for Cultivating Global Leaders in Heavy Ion Radiotherapy, Science and Technology)
Students in Graduate School of Medicine or in Graduate School of Science and Technology can apply to this program. We select excellent applicants for this program. Graduate School of Science and Technology provides a special program for students who have MA and wish to get PhD.
Students learn through training in basic medical technologies and basic lecture courses. Additionally, students participate as necessary in the rotation of seminars for discussing research results.
Students study major subjects and major specialist subjects in medical science and therapeutics/engineering leading graduate school. In addition, basic research ability is tested through Qualifying Examinations (seminars for the research presentation and discussions). Students also participate in public seminars in bioethics, and workshops led by graduate students as part of the Research Activity Promotion Program. Internships in the advanced medical equipment development industry, Cancer Centers in the Kanto region and particle therapy facilities are also available, as well as short term training at education and research related facilities in Japan and overseas, and at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Students write a thesis of the research results. The Ph.D. degree is given when completing the required credits and passing the thesis defense. Students have possible opportunities to have research supervision from an international advisory board of internationally prominent researchers.
Students learn common subjects, core subjects, engineering management subjects and collaborated subjects such as Medical Engineering and Science. In addition, students will learn basic knowledge in medicine and heavy ion radiation therapy. Furthermore, students, who aim to be a medical physicist, will learn basic medical physics. The lectures will be opened in Kiryu or Showa Campus. Students must pass the Qualifying Examination of Master Course at the end of Master program.
Students learn common subjects, collaborated subjects (such as Medical Engineering and Science) and core subjects. They also learn special exercise in laboratories, which study a related field to their own specialty, to get wide perspective. They also join internships or short-term training in medical industries or heavy ion radiation therapy facilities.
