All students will take An Introduction to Radiation Biology, Basic Studies for Environmental Sciences (Biodiversity Science) and History of Hiroshima Restoration to obtain a comprehensive understanding of these areas.

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.

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.

Also, 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.
