Merits of our department
In 1988, SOKENDAI (The Graduate University for Advanced Studies) was established as a national university, which consists only of graduate school (As is the case with all national universities, it became a national university corporation in 2004, following the global reorganization of national universities into independent administrative institutions). SOKENDAI has many advantages for future researchers who aim at acquiring broad perspectives and originality, compared with ordinary graduate schools in association with national universities. The students in our department are assigned either to the theory group or to the experimental group in KEK (High Energy Accelerator Research Organization), and can receive fruitful education --- from basic lectures to supervision for research activities --- by KEK faculty members, who also belong to SOKENDAI. The merits of our department are summarized as follows.

educational environment right on-the-spot of the most advanced research
supervision by KEK faculty members covering widespread research fields
presence of many young active postdocs.
fruitful international communications with foreign researchers
various activities such as seminars and journal club
producing talented researchers leading the physics community
Research fields studied in our department
