Education
In the Graduate Major in Energy Science and Informatics, courses are organized into groups of lectures to facilitate systematic acquisition of specialized knowledge and skills, tailored to students' levels of learning and proficiency.
The curriculum is structured around three key groups of lectures — Specialized Theory lectures for acquiring advanced expertise in individual disciplines, Energy Theory lectures for learning the multidimensional energy theory common to the field, and Energy Big Data Science Courses to provide further knowledge and skills by adding data science analytics into the mix. The program allows students to acquire (1) advanced expertise in their specialization selected from the Specialized Theory lectures (physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, applied chemistry, information science, or transdisciplinary science and engineering) in addition to the restricted elective courses (Energy Theory lectures) and the elective courses (Energy Big Data Science Courses), and (2) the ability to comprehensively understand and make judgments on various energy issues from the perspective of multidimensional energy theory, to independently identify and solve problems, and to demonstrate global leadership skills.

The curriculum is designed to equip students with a comprehensive skillset rooted in the systemized knowledge acquired through the Master's Program. This includes the broad theory (multidimensional energy theory) common to the study of energy science, in addition to advanced expertise in the individual disciplines of physics, chemistry, materials science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information science, and transdisciplinary science and engineering. With the addition of skills to integrate learned theories with data science analytics, the curriculum is tailored to provide students with a range of key abilities essential for success in the energy sector. These include:
1. The ability to discern the underlying nature and universality of energy/information-related phenomena, identify new challenges, and bring them to resolution.
2. The ability to lead the frontier of energy research based on advanced knowledge and strong ethical awareness.
3. The ability to organically integrate diverse findings in energy science and informatics from the perspective of each specialization for further application and development.
4. The ability to build human networks in the energy sector, and to demonstrate international leadership.
Specifically, students will sharpen their ability to identify and solve problems, and to develop research skills with a focus on Research Seminars and doctoral dissertation research. They will also cultivate leadership skills and internationally effective cultural skills, as well as communication skills, by taking Humanities and Social Science Courses and Career Development Courses in addition to Major Courses such as International Academic Presentation.
