14 “Global Environmental & Energy Program” The redbrick “Global Environmental & Energy Program” is a master’s course program of “ Environmental & Renewable Energy Systems” which is one of 10 systems in Graduate School of Engineering, Gifu University. The program supplies “coursework” and “Research Guidance” by English. The students who can use English will obtain a master’s course degree without learning Japanese language. Of course, students have a chance to learn Japanese in our “International Student Center”. The education and research programs of this division are developing advanced sciences and technologies related “Environmental”, including water regime, analytical chemistry, chemical biology. “Renewable Energy” such as photovoltaic and biomass power generations and those “Innovative Dispersed Energy Systems” are also contained. Learnings of the environmental sciences and renewable energy technologies bring you to the new world contributing to solving environmental and energy problems for mankind in the 21st century. “Gifu Castle” Mount “Kinka” Hot Spring Resort Hot Spring Resort Ancient Fishing “Ukai” using cormorants Linpid Stream of “Nagara River”
