A Day in the Lab
Our day begins at 8:10 AM with morning seminars featuring English progress reports. We have no core time, empowering you to manage your research independently. Twice a week, master’s seminars focus on English textbooks and paper presentations to build your expertise.
Our lab is highly international, offering a vibrant, English-friendly space. We balance hard work with fun, enjoying events like cherry blossom viewing, the spectacular Nagaoka Fireworks, lab trips, and year-end parties together!
