The Master’s Program in Biology at Kobe University’s Graduate School of Science is a two‑year research‑oriented postgraduate course leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. It addresses the fundamental question of “what is life?” by exploring living organisms at multiple levels—from molecules to ecosystems—through advanced coursework, seminars, laboratory work, and independent research. The program encompasses diverse fields such as molecular, cellular, and developmental biology, plant and animal sciences, microbiology, biodiversity, and basic medicine, with an emphasis on integrating these areas to deepen understanding of biological systems. Students complete required credits and undertake original research under faculty supervision, culminating in a master’s thesis that reflects their research contributions and analytical skills. Graduates are well‑prepared for careers in scientific research, industry, education, or doctoral study.
