SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
GRADUATE COURSE IN LIFE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
The Graduate School of Life and Environmental Science, Shimane University, recruits prominent foreign students for the Special Program of the two-year course Master’s program. This is for both applicants with the Japanese Government Scholarship (Monbukagakusho: MEXT, explained below) and without the Scholarship.
Ⅰ. PURPOSE OF THE SPECIAL PROGRAM（設置目的）The Special Program (SP) is designed to provide academically advanced education to study
biological science, ecology and environmental science, life science and biotechnology, agriculture, and regional development. The students are expected to learn the basic and applied sciences related to the areas so that they are able to conduct appropriate measures to deal with environmental problems and problems on bioresources.
Ⅱ. PROCEDURE OF CURRICULUM（教育方法）The SP is a two-year Master's course. A student in the SP has to earn more than 30 hour
credits and be able to write Master's thesis to obtain his/her degree of Master of Science.The classes and the advise from the faculty members are conducted in English.
Ⅲ. FIELDS OF STUDY（専攻分野）The applicant will have to select his/her field of study from the lists offered by the Faculty of
Life and Environmental Science in the area of biological science and biotechnology, agriculture and forest science, and environmental science and technology. (see page 12-16).
Ⅳ. NUMBER OF STUDENTS TO BE ADMITTED（募集人員）Number of Students to be admitted: 1 with the Scholarship from the Ministry of Education,
Culture and Technology (Monbukagakusho) of the Japanese Government Scholarships (hereafter “Scholarship”) and a few students funded privately or by the other sources (hereafter “Personal Funds”).
Ⅴ. APPLICATIONS FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP（国費留学生）This Section is for those who will apply both in the SP and Scholarship.
1．QUALIFICATIONS（資格）① Nationality: Applicants with the Scholarship should be nationals from the countries where
the Scholarship is decided to offer by Monbukagakusho. ② Age: Applicants with the Scholarship should be under 35 years old as of April 1, 2011;
born on or after April 2, 1976. ③ Academic career: An applicant has to be one of the following items.
－2－
(1) A person with having college degree from a Japanese 4-year college or is expected to earn one by the end of March 2011.
(2) A person who completed a 16-year education in a foreign country(s) or to be completed by the end of March 2011.
(3) A person obtaining the career equitable to the proceeding items (1) or (2).④ Academic Score：Applicants must obtain an academic score above 2.30 point (MEXT
standard) for the two most recent years. The definition of academic score is shown below.
〔How to calculate the academic score〕Applicants must use the table below to sum their points and then calculate the academic score with the formula specified below. Only grades from degree courses should be counted.
Academic Score Conversion Table
evaluation academic record4 grades 優 良 可 不可4 grades A B C F4 grades 100～80 79～70 69～60 59～5 grades S A B C F5 grades A B C D F5 grades 100～90 89～80 79～70 69～60 59～
point 3 3 2 1 0
(Formula)Academic Score ={(Number of 3 point credits×3) + (Number of 2 point credits×2) + (Number of 1 point credits×1) +
(Number of 0 point credits×0)} / Total Number of Credits
（Note1） If the credit system is not adopted at your college, calculate the academic score by using the number of courses instead of the number of credits.
（Note 2） If an applicant was admitted in his/her third year as a transfer student, the number of credits earned after admission should be counted. The transfer student also needs to calculate the academic score using the grades from the previous university. This student should add the score as well as the period of enrollment and the kind of school to notes in the ACADEMIC SCORE SHEET.
（Note 3） Evaluations which are not in the above table should not be included, for example, “Qualified” and “Passed”.
（Note 4） Calculate the academic score to two decimal places.（Note 5） If applicants have been enrolled in their current university for less than two years
(for example, half a year or one year and a half year), their academic record from the previous university is counted as a year and the academic score is calculated for the last two and a half years.
⑤ Health: Applicants should be in good mental and physical health.
－3－
⑥ Language proficiency: A good working level in English is required. ⑦ Arrival in Japan: The admitted students must arrive in Japan between October 1 and 7, 2011.⑧ Notes:

BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO MATSUE CITY
Matsue City, with a population of about 190,000, lies some 800 kilometers to the west of Tokyo, from where it can be reached in one and a half hours by plane, and six and a half hours by train. Located in the eastern part of Shimane Prefecture, the city, the seat of the prefectural government, is the political, economic and cultural center of the region.
It is a beautiful city, well-known from ancient times as the “town of water”, with the large lakes of “Nakaumi” and “Shinji” respectively on the eastern and the western borders of the city. This region, which is traditionally called the “Province of Izumo,” was one of the most prosperous cultural centers in ancient Japan, with its local government established in Matsue as far back as the sixth century. A considerable number of the old town’s relics are still found in and around the city.
Since Matsue Castle was built in 1611, Matsue has enjoyed prosperity as a castle town and development as the political, economic and cultural center of the province. Even today, you can see old buildings and moats, such as Matsue Castle, the Samurai Houses and the waterways running through the city, still in original condition.
Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), an Irish-born journalist and writer, was sent to Japan by Harper’s in 1890. He was so enchanted by this old castle town during his 15 month stay that he married into an old samurai family. In 1896 he was naturalized as a Japanese citizen and took “Koizumi Yakumo” as his Japanese name. Famous among his writings are Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Kwaidan, and Japan: An Attempt at Interpretation. Matsue City keeps his old residence as it used to be, and next to it stands the Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum which was rebuilt in 1984 into a Japanese style structure from its former Western style. Even today citizens of Matsue still have a strong attachment to Lafcadio Hearn.
In 1951, Matsue was designated as an “International Cultural and Sightseeing City”, one of the three such cities in Japan, together with Kyoto and Nara. Matsue, known as an international town which has maintained its time-honored traditions, attracts a great many tourists from abroad as well as from various parts of Japan. In recent years the city has seen rapid urbanization, and the streets, still rich in the atmosphere characteristic of a castle town, are changing their appearance. Urbanization represents a new start for the central city of the San-in district and promises a bright future.
The climate of the Matsue area is rather mild throughout the year, and the average yearly temperature is around 14℃. The average temperature in the summer season is around 26℃, with some very hot days of over 30℃ in the middle or latter part of the season. In the winter the temperature, on the average, is somewhere around 4℃. During the winter the weather tends to be rainy and we have comparatively slight snowfall, but the winter weather here is characterized by the severe north-westery seasonal wind.
