The Nagoya University Graduate School of Environmental Studies was established in 2001, at the dawn of the 21st century. Consisting of three departments－“Earth and Environment Science”, “Environmental Engineering and Architecture”, and “Social and Human Environment”－the graduate school is a result of the unique integration of disciplines ranging from natural sciences to engineering to arts and social sciences.

The objective of the school is to largely foster two types of educated human resources; generalists with a broad perspective in subject matters who also has a high level of expertise in a specific area, and specialists pursuing their expertise who also have general knowledge in various other fields.

Each department conducts a broad spectrum of researches; at the same time, there are many projects－both large and small in scale－conducted through inter-disciplinary collaboration. A collection of intellectuals, a wide spectrum of classes and courses, and a variety of events – all of these will provide great opportunities to those whose desire is to learn.

The Nagoya University Graduate School of Environmental Studies invites you to take this great opportunity and take the first step forward into the journey to satisfy your intellectual curiosity.

I spent the most fruitful years of my carrier in the Nagoya University during my PhD studies. I have developed a theoretical model for calculating land surface heat fluxes in complex terrain like Nepal which leads to accurate estimation of water resources, agriculture production, ecological conservation etc. This work was published in prestigious journal as well most recently; I was awarded as a young scientist from The World Academy of Science and Technology (TWAS) for this contribution. This would not have been possible without strong knowledge in the field which I gained from professors and faculties of Nagoya University and most especially I am very thankful to Prof. Yasushi Yamaguchi for his guidance and support. Currently, I am working as a senior scientific officer in Nepal Academy of Science and Technology. I am monitoring the frequency of drought occurrence in Nepal and its consequences in agricultural production.

"During my college years, I did a year of studying abroad at Nagoya University.  I had such a wonderful experience that I decided to study at Nagoya University again. And I am glad that I chose to study at GSES.  GSES had an excellent master's degree program all conducted in English.  The international adviser at GSES was also a tremendous asset to the international students.  I was able to meet students from all across the globe and it expanded my global view. I highly recommend GSES as your choice of graduate school.  I believe you will have a great time like I did." *GSES: Graduate School of Environmental Studies
