Graduate School of Chemistry and Materials Engineering
Major in Chemistry, Materials and Bioengineering
The Major in Chemistry, Materials and Bioengineering has "mechanism creation" as its core concept. Based on the fundamental philosophy of "creation of highly functional and safe mechanisms in science and technology systems," this major aims to cultivate students who possess both broad perspectives spanning across fields and the ability to discover and solve problems in both fundamental and applied areas through education in fundamental engineering fields including mechanical, electrical, electronic, and information communication technologies, based on the fundamental education system of mathematics and physics as natural sciences. Based on this purpose, we provide students with the ability to fundamentally understand the essence of phenomena behind cutting-edge knowledge and new technologies, and train competent personnel who can lead the next generation of industry on the international stage and personnel who can elucidate cutting-edge research issues in technological and social systems.
Students who wish to continue on the path to becoming researchers after gaining experience in fields responsible for each specialized area in the Master's Program will advance to the Major in Integrated Science and Engineering in the Doctoral Program. The Doctoral Program employs a comprehensive research guidance system that is not bound by fields as in the Master's Program. This enables students to receive guidance from multiple faculty members with different specialties across fields under the guidance of their primary supervisor, thereby activating innovative research from a broad perspective. Based on research results conducted in the Doctoral Program, students compile doctoral dissertations, undergo examination, and can obtain degrees. This Doctoral Program has a policy of strengthening and expanding cooperation and exchange not only with the Institute for Advanced Science on campus but also with other domestic research institutions and overseas universities, implementing multifaceted research education. Enrolled students will contribute to these activities through their own research, and thereby can walk the path to becoming specialized researchers with broad knowledge and international perspectives.
