In the today's science world environmental problems, development of
new functional materials, and biotechnology are the main concern. Our
research field is stressed on these important field in science.
However, the concept of our department, since its establishment in
nineteen forties, is that the basics are essential in education. As it
appears in the name of the department, we insist on "chemistry" rather
than "applied chemistry", prevailing in most private universities in
Japan.
From the 1st to the 3rd year students take courses on fundamental chemistry, physics and mathematics, together with the general studies such as language, law, economics, history, arts, etc. In addition they have to take training courses on manufacturing techniques such as glass blowing, machine-shop work, technical drawing etc., which prove to be powerful tools when they proceed to the final year and want to develop their own instruments for their thesis work.
