Overview
About the programme
A broad outlook and exposure to first-class facilities are vital for young researchers who want to make their mark in the world of contemporary biomedicine. Providing students with exactly these sorts of opportunities is the goal of the Dual Master’s in Medical Science offered at the University of Tsukuba.
This relatively new venture is operated by the University of Tsukuba in collaboration with three overseas universities; two in Vietnam — Vietnam National University and the University of Medicine and Pharmacy — and the National Taiwan University. The premise behind the program is to offer students the chance to study abroad and focus their skills in the study of medical sciences, earning degrees from two institutions.
The dual master’s program requires students to study for a minimum of 30 credits. For students from outside Japan, this typically involves earning 10 credits in their own country over the course of a year and 20 credits across two years at the University of Tsukuba. Students at Tsukuba will acquire a master’s degree either in science or in pharmacy in Vietnam or Taiwan.
The course is taught in English and covers a wide range of topics including clinical medicine, medical physics, cancer care and community medicine. This variety allows students to focus on an aspect of medical science that suits them, and encourages them to become fully fledged professionals — either working as highly skilled specialists, or as researchers and educators with the aim of improving medical care around the world.
