Overview
Graduate students enroll in either the MSc or DSc Primatology and Wildlife Research course with one of the existing sections at Kyoto University's Primate Research Institute (PRI) in Inuyama (Aichi Prefecture), or alternatively at Kyoto University's Wildlife Research Center (WRC) in Kyoto. Both degrees offered are research-focused, but Master's students are also required to complete a set of courses and training programs provided by either PRI or WRC.
