intensively. Humanities and social science students are required to write an independent thesis in the final year, and science and engineering students are required to work in student laboratory for one year and at least one year for thesis research. Each student in the program have assigned academic advisors and can have a tutor if they need or wish. Graduate programs are research-based, and applicants are required to know their research topic and find professors who share the same research interests before applying for the program. Alumni Prospects Many graduates from the G30 program continue to further their studies in various renowned universities worldwide, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, University of Oxford, Imperial College London, ETH Zürich, University of Tokyo, University of Melbourne, and more, including Nagoya University. A substantial number of graduates also seek employment in Japan, obtaining jobs in companies that are listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The university's Earthquake and Volcano Research Center is represented on the national Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction. Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) ITbM was officially launched in April 2013, and is located in the Higashiyama campus of the university. It consists of a team of 14 principal investigators from within Nagoya University and other countries including Switzerland, Germany, Canada, and USA. ITbM has five research fields: ‘Parasitic plants’, ‘Chemistry-enabled plant adaptation’, ‘Clock diseases’, ‘Chemistry-enabled bioimaging’, and ‘Nanocarbon chemistry and biology’. Features of ITbM include having mix lab and offices, well-furnished with many high-quality instruments, and having English-speaking staff in the administration to facilitate the internationalization of the institute. ITbM also conducts the International Symposium on Transformative Bio-molecules (ISTbM) yearly in Nagoya, and presents awards such as the Hirata Award and Tsuneko & Reiji Okazaki Award to promising scientists in the fields of organic chemistry and biology. Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research (ISEE) ISEE was established in October 2015, via the integration of the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory, the
