All students will take History of Hiroshima Restoration, An Introduction to Radiation Biology and Scientific English to obtain a comprehensive understanding of these areas. 

The students will be able to take Advanced Lectures on Radiation Biology, Natural Disasters and International Cooperation, Basic Studies for Environmental Sciences (Biodiversity Science), Introduction to Environmental Radiation, Historical Review of Radiation Casualty and Theories of Social Behavior to obtain a common knowledge base.

All students will take cross-disciplinary practical coursework at the Hiroshima Phoenix Training Center (HiPTC).  The coursework is designed to acquire practical skills, risk recognition and risk communication.

Specialized subjects to support students in becoming leaders in “protecting human lives from radiation disaster”, “protecting the environment from radioactivity”, and “protecting children and society from radioactivity”.  The students choose subjects by their courses but they can also take other subjects from other courses in addition to their own to obtain broader knowledge.

As a forum for students from each major to study together across majors, Interdisciplinary Integrated Seminars will be held once every year for D3, D4 and D5 students.

Specialized subjects to support students in becoming leaders in “protecting human lives from radiation disasters”, “protecting the environment from radioactivity”, and “protecting the human society from radioactivity”. The contents will vary by major but students can take classes from other majors in addition to their own to obtain broader knowledge. To finalize the specialized subjects, all students of all majors will take Radiation Disaster Recovery Studies.

Fieldwork will be conducted in Fukushima. The purpose of the fieldwork is to develop students’ ability to analyze behavior of radiation disaster survivors, identify any issues relating to the existing disaster prevention/reduction systems and study to resolve those problems.

Acquire international understanding and problem solving skills and experiences through an internship in a collaborating company in Japan, and an internship at an international organization (IAEA, WHO, etc.) abroad.

Lectures are basically given in English.  We provide a thorough, globalized education.  Some classes are instructed by full-time foreign faculty.
