You belong to a laboratory and receive guidance from faculty members while setting your own theme and conducting research.
Finally, you compile the results as a graduation thesis (some students in the Department of Architecture do graduation design).

It can be applied to part of the foreign language credits mainly taken in the first and second years.
However, it is important to continue with foreign languages. Please continue studying independently even in the third and fourth years.

There are many people who graduate from undergraduate programs and are active in society.
However, if you want to acquire more specialized skills, we recommend advancing to graduate school.

JABEE (Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education) is an organization that evaluates and accredits whether university educational content and systems meet the required standards of society.
The educational program of the Department of Urban System Engineering is accredited by JABEE.

We use a learning management system (Kansai University LMS) where you can view materials and assignments posted on class-specific homepages and submit reports.
You can study anytime and anywhere if you have a computer connected to the internet.
Of course, there are also many computers available for free use on campus.

The Kansai University Career Center holds various seminars from the first year onwards to support students in making solid career plans.
The university arranges internships and recognizes them as credits.
Each department also provides detailed support in the form of various lectures and recommendations to companies.

The number of female students who entered the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Engineering from 2022 to 2025 is shown below.

We have established a learning support room aimed at improving basic academic ability in subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.
The learning support room staff respond to questions about reviewing classes, assignments, and study methods, and provide follow-up support so that you can understand university lectures.

The number of female students who entered the Faculty of Chemistry, Materials and Bioengineering from 2022 to 2025 is shown below.

The Department of Chemistry and Materials Engineering studies and researches environmental and energy issues at the molecular level. For example, world-class research on environmentally friendly catalysts contributes to significant reduction of greenhouse gases. Research is also being conducted on methods to generate hydrogen, which is attracting attention as next-generation energy, methods to store hydrogen, and fuel cells that generate electrical energy from hydrogen and oxygen.

Please think of the Biomolecular Chemistry Course as a boundary area between the Applied Chemistry Course and the Department of Life Science and Biotechnology. Mainly, research is conducted to create substances and materials with new functions (that are useful) using molecules obtained from living organisms [= proteins, polysaccharides (such as starch), nucleic acids (DNA), etc.], or conversely, to create artificial substances and materials with new functions that act on living bodies (human bodies) or nature. For details, please refer to the Department of Chemistry and Materials Engineering's own homepage.
