Bachelor in Biological Sciences Course Curriculum in English

Tuition fees are 3,278 USD per year.

Tokyo Metropolitan University offers Biological Sciences as a four-year bachelor's degree with a curriculum taught in English, based in Tokyo, with new students starting in April. TMU is the only university operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and it describes its mission as producing graduates who can respond to societal change while conducting basic and applied research, including research on issues specific to Tokyo as a major city. A bachelor's program in biological sciences typically covers subjects such as molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, ecology, and physiology, combining lecture courses with laboratory training in techniques used across the life sciences. Students learn to design experiments, analyze biological data, and interpret research literature, building a foundation that applies to fields ranging from basic research to medicine, agriculture, and environmental science. Laboratory work and, in many programs, an undergraduate research project under faculty supervision are common features of a biology degree, giving students direct experience with the scientific method before graduation. Graduates of biological sciences programs pursue careers in research laboratories, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, healthcare-adjacent fields, environmental organizations, and education, or continue into graduate study for careers in academic or industrial research. Completing the degree in Tokyo over four years combines rigorous science training with the resources of a major metropolitan research environment, delivered through an English-language curriculum designed for international students.
