Hiroshima University is seeking to attract more graduate students through its Leading Graduate Education Programme. Launched in October 2012, it includes the Phoenix Leader Education Programme and the TAOYAKA Programme, both of which have been selected to receive support under a Japanese Government scheme to promote efforts to develop world-class degree programmes. Phoenix and TAOYAKA are new interdisciplinary PhD programmes, which, it is hoped, will produce global leaders capable of creating new forms of knowledge that transcend the boundaries of conventional academic and research disciplines. Based on the university's particular specialisms and strengths, the Leading Graduate Education Programme is designed to improve the originality of students, broaden their perspectives, and develop their ability to take action and resolve problems. The curriculum also includes a group of common core subjects to impart the spirit of peace to Hiroshima University students. In this way we will nurture personnel who can address problems in a creative manner, view the world based on broad knowledge, and act globally.
