Chiba University has launched “Innovative Medicine CHIBA Doctoral WISE Program (iMeC-WISE)”, which consists of a two-year Master’s Program with nine majors: Medical Sciences, General Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mathematics and Informatics, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Advanced Science and Engineering, Creative Engineering, Fundamental Engineering, Environmental Horticulture, and Nursing, and a four-year Doctoral Program of Frontier Medicine and Pharmacy in the Graduate School of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Based on the Chiba University’s more than 100-year history in the fields of medicine and pharmaceutical sciences, iMeC-WISE aims to foster the next generation of world-class researchers and innovators, who will contribute to the development of medical sciences, pave the way to novel therapies and drugs, and develop sustainable healthcare systems.
The iMeC-WISE program is characterized by innovative comprehensive training with a focus on multidisciplinary close mentoring by internationally renowned faculty from academia and industry. The program’s six specialized fields provide excellent platforms for research and training using a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies in Biomedicine, Medical Engineering, Therapeutics, Drug Discovery, Sustainable Health Sciences, and Medical Informatics. Students are required to study in two out of the six specialized fields so that they can acquire highly advanced research abilities as well as a broader perspective in an international environment.
The program has two courses:
1. iMeC-WISE Double Major Course in Chiba University
2. iMeC-WISE International Double Degree Course, in which students earn PhD degrees from Chiba University and University of California San Diego.
Students are required to cultivate basic skills and knowledge on medical sciences in the Master’s Program and then to accomplish at least two projects, equivalent to double majors, in different specialized fields in the Doctoral Program.
iMeC-WISE provides students with financial support and the career development office as well as subsequent post-graduate employment positions to maximize each student’s potential and build the foundation for career success. Graduates are expected to be leaders in various fields.
