Master's Program
Chemistry, Materials and Bioengineering Major
The Chemistry, Materials and Bioengineering Major is organized around the concept of manufacturing and creation. In step with society's shift from design focused on how things are made to design focused on how they are used, the program goes beyond the study of living organisms, substances, and materials themselves to pursue how their functions can be brought out within a wide variety of systems and devices. In other words, students learn to apply substances, materials, and biological resources to everyday life, industry, and the environment through human creativity, planning, and practical execution, while developing technologies to improve them further. The program aims to cultivate engineers and researchers with broad specialized knowledge, excellent technical ability, and a wide perspective capable of seeing the whole picture—qualities needed to solve the many issues that arise in these fields and to help build a prosperous and sustainable society.
Doctoral Program
Integrated Science and Engineering Major
Students who deepen their expertise in the fields responsible for each specialized area of the master's program and wish to pursue the path of researchers advance to the Integrated Science and Engineering Major in the doctoral program. Unlike the master's program, the doctoral program provides a comprehensive research supervision system that is not confined to a single field. Under the guidance of their primary supervisor, students can also receive instruction from multiple faculty members with different areas of expertise across disciplines, which stimulates innovative research from a broad perspective. Based on the results of their research in the doctoral program, students prepare a doctoral dissertation, undergo examination, and earn their degree. This program also promotes multifaceted research and education by strengthening collaboration and exchange not only with the university's Organization for Research and Development of Innovative Science and Technology, but also with other research institutions in Japan and with universities overseas. Through their own research, students contribute to these activities and grow into highly specialized researchers with broad knowledge and an international outlook.
