The Graduate School of Veterinary Medicine conducts education and research related to life science, ecosystem conservation, and the maintaining of a healthy and sound living environment of both humans and animals. Through these educational and research activities, we aim to help students develop a broad vision, a flexible mindset, and an ability to make comprehensive judgments in veterinary medical practice and science. In this way, we will develop human resources possessing both practical expertise and leadership and who can contribute to the progress of veterinary science both in Japan and throughout the world.

Our program "Fostering Global Leaders in Veterinary Science for One Health" was selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as one of the Program for Leading Graduate Schools for 2011. Our program offers students stronger basic education programs, opportunities for practical overseas activities, and internship opportunities to reinforce the educational functions provided by the Graduate School of Veterinary Medicine. This program helps us to achieve our educational goals by providing an educational curriculum for training experts in zoonosis control or chemical hazard control and by expanding various financial assistance programs.

Under this program, we will carry out a special selection targeting university graduates other than graduates of the School of Veterinary Medicine, Hokkaido University, in addition to the regular selection process.
