Departments / Graduate School
- Applied Chemistry Major
- The applied chemistry major places emphasis on obtaining basic knowledge as well as experimental
and analytical technology in various fields of chemistry such as physical chemistry, inorganic
chemistry, and polymer chemistry, supporting modern science and technology.
With a solid foundation in these fields of chemistry, students are trained for advanced knowledge
and expertise required in cutting-edge technologies including energy chemistry as represented by
lithium batteries and fuel cells, and advanced material chemistry which involves fine ceramics and
shape-memory material.
Students have access to equipment enabling nano research and many have participated in
international conferences.
- Biomaterial and Environmental Chemistry Major
- The keyword of training and research in the biomaterial and environmental chemistry major is “life
and environment”. According to this keyword, students are trained to gain fundamental knowledge
in organic chemistry, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry as well as experimental and analytical
skills.
The biomaterial and environmental chemistry is a new field linking biotechnology with
environmental chemistry, and is expected to contribute to the development of new drug and
functional foods as well as the development of highly sensitive environmental sensors and sensors for biological specimen.
Many students participate in the development of cutting-edge devices, and study overseas through student exchange programs.
