PhD course

[Education Program System]
The School of Architecture is divided into four disciplines: (1) Architectural Structure Engineering, (2) Construction Methods & Architectural History, (3) Architectural Planning & Design, and (4) Architectural Environmental Engineering. Figure 1 shows the educational program of "structural and environmental engineering fields" that compose our wind engineering course.

In the first year of the PhD course (D1), core courses are provided in the structural and environmental fields. Based on the basics acquired during the first stage of the PhD course, students will develop advanced expertise or expertise that is helpful in practice, and improve their scholastic techniques as experts in each field. In principle, classes will be held in English so that students will develop a sense of internationalism and an ability to discuss topics in English. Intensive courses (special issues of wind engineering I to IV) will be given to students in D2 and D3 by more than 20 guest professors invited from overseas. Master course students and working people can also audit the courses.
In addition, open seminars, international advanced schools, intensive courses for overseas students in PhD courses, and short-term overseas training will be promoted as part of these educational programs so that students can select various advanced specialized subjects according to their career options. An opportunity to get in touch with overseas researchers will be created through internships with overseas research institutes or participation in joint international research. Students will also receive support for their career paths and independence through participation in joint research with private research institutes.
