Tokyo Tech's Leading Graduate School programs

Tokyo Tech, in response to societal demands as well as those from industry, government, and academia, established four highly competitive programs and academies to cultivate skills in graduate students that would prepare them to become world leaders: Academy for Global Leadership, Academy for Co-creative Education of Environment and Energy Science, Education Academy of Computational Life Sciences, and Academy for Global Nuclear Safety and Security Agent.

These programs were supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and run under its Program for Leading Graduate Schools.

With the end of the MEXT funding period, three of the programs ended in AY 2017, and the fourth program, the Academy for Global Leadership, in AY 2018. However, their curricula continue to be offered as degree programs at the Institute.
