The University of Tsukuba is located at the center of the Tsukuba Science City, which enables the faculty members and graduate students to join various kinds of research collaboration program and to attend seminars together with scientists and engineers in national and private institutes in the city. The cooperative Graduate School System promotes collaboration with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). Competent research scholars working at the AIST are appointed as adjunctive professors of the University of Tsukuba. Students can receive research supervision from these adjunctive professors at their institutes, and the dotoral degree can be awarded under the same condition as students of the Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering. This system extends the range of research topics and research facilities and equipments avaialbe, and further enriches the doctoral programs, to improve students' competence and capabilities.
