Graduate School of Pharmacy (Graduate School)
Message from the Dean

Training researchers and pharmacists who will contribute to the development of pharmaceutical science and medicine
Pharmaceutical research is diverse. Our Graduate Graduate School of Pharmacy is also conducting a wide range of pharmaceutical research, from Organic Chemistry and Department of Pharmacology research related to the development of new drugs, to drug therapy and clinical pharmacy research related to the use of drugs. Students who enroll are not only university graduates aiming to become researchers. Many pharmacists from hospitals, pharmacies, and companies who realize the significance of a doctorate after entering the workforce also enroll. In order to expand the possibilities for pharmacists, our graduate school supports research life so that students can obtain a doctorate while working as a pharmacist.
Through research activities at our university, we train pharmaceutical researchers who can plan and carry out original research in areas such as drug discovery and elucidation of life phenomena, as well as pharmacists who can develop new drug therapies through collaborative research with School of Medicine and university hospitals. Why not enroll in our graduate school and work hard at research with the aim of obtaining a doctorate?
