Graduate School of Chemistry and Materials Engineering
Major in Chemistry, Materials and Bioengineering
The Major in Chemistry, Materials and Bioengineering adopts "system creation" as its core concept. Based on the fundamental philosophy of "creating highly functional and safe systems in science and technology systems," this major aims to cultivate students who possess both broad perspectives spanning multiple fields and problem-finding and problem-solving abilities that traverse fundamental and applied domains. This is achieved through education in fundamental engineering areas of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and information communication technologies, built upon a foundation of basic education systems in mathematics and physics as natural sciences. Based on this purpose, we develop students' ability to understand from fundamentals the essence of phenomena behind cutting-edge knowledge and new technologies, and we cultivate highly capable personnel who can lead the next generation of industry on the international stage, as well as human resources who can elucidate cutting-edge research issues in technological society systems.
Students who have accumulated expertise in fields responsible for each specialized area of the master's program and wish to pursue the path of becoming researchers will advance to the Major in Integrated Science and Engineering in the doctoral program. The doctoral program adopts 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 specializations across fields under the supervision of their primary advisor, thereby activating innovative research from a broad perspective. Students can compile their doctoral dissertation based on research results conducted in the doctoral program, undergo examination, and obtain their degree. This doctoral program has a policy of strengthening and expanding collaboration and exchange not only with the university's Advanced Science and Technology Promotion Organization but also with other domestic research institutions and overseas universities, thereby implementing multifaceted research and education. Current students contribute to these activities through their own research, and through this, they can pursue the path to becoming specialized researchers with broad knowledge and an international perspective.
