Professional Graduate Schools
Professional graduate schools aim to provide new graduate programs (professional degrees) that specialize in fostering high-level professionals to take leadership roles in all fields of society, as well as active international roles. Graduate law schools, which are institutionalized as the core of the new system to nurture legal professionals, and schools in such fields as business and MOT (Management of Technology) have been established. In FY2008, graduate schools of education were established to provide more practical teacher training at the grad school level. It is hoped that they will become models for teacher training at the undergraduate and graduate level. (Refer from MEXT website)
