Exchange Student Program
Department of Environment Systems provides an exchange student program between Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology, Imperial College London (ICL) and Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo (UT). In this program, first grade students in the master course will take classes at UT in a summer semester and at ICL in a winter semester. They can learn broad subjects of environmental problems such as environmental impact assessment, environmental technologies and environmental measure planning for understanding of orientation of environmental technologies, political decision process and public acceptance at different countries. This program addresses nurturing of environment engineers and managers who can assume international negotiation for environmental issues.
