Graduate School Features

Creating new value with comprehensive knowledge

Niigata University will merge its Graduate School of Modern Society and Culture and its Graduate School of Science and Technology to establish a new Graduate School of Integrated Arts and Sciences in April 2026.
By combining knowledge from the Humanities and Social Sciences with knowledge from the natural sciences, we aim to create comprehensive knowledge that can solve problems that cannot be solved by a single specialized knowledge.
