Chemistry is a discipline that focuses on “substances”, therefore its research area is extremely wide, and it is the basis of all industrial fields. Research results in chemistry have advanced science and technology to a high degree and have supported people’s affluent lives. On the other hand, environmental problems such as air and water pollution, climate change and global warming, and energy problems such as fossil fuel depletion are serious problems on a global scale. In order to solve these problems, it is indispensable to develop environmentally friendly clean energy, create new materials suitable for global environmental conservation, and detoxify and recycle waste. Advanced technologies such as chemistry-related nanotechnology will help in these developments. Knowledge of chemistry is also required in research and development in the field of bio-healthcare to lead a safe, secure and prosperous social life.
The present age is exactly the time when the power of chemistry is needed.
For the development of technology related to new materials and clean energy, our department will cultivate top-level engineers and researchers with basic academic ability in chemistry and related fields, expertise in chemistry and substances, and also an excellent ability to seek out and solve problems.
We will cultivate a high degree of expertise that can contribute to the construction of a prosperous and sustainable society in the following three fields.
Knowledge related to new materials and clean energy is acquired from a foundation of chemistry, including inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry, surface chemistry, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, solid state chemistry, biochemistry, chemical physics, quantum chemistry, chemical engineering and energy systems. By touching on the wide-ranging study of substances, materials, devices and systems, you will acquire knowledge and skills in “useful chemistry” from basic to practical applications.
In the first year, common basic subjects are studied and acquire basic knowledge and ideas in science and engineering.
In the second year, a foundation of basic chemistry and applied chemistry is acquired, and actual technology is experienced through experiments and practice that lead to more specialized study.
In the third year, students take three courses: organic and biochemistry, physical chemistry / chemical engineering, and inorganic and analytical chemistry, and they will work on more advanced and practical research themes as graduation research in the fourth year.
