* Departments in red are especially recommended for international students
Focuses on information, statistics, differential equations, and theory in mathematics. Research areas include Algebra, Geometry, Applied Analysis, and Information Mathematics. Over half of the graduating students work in the field of education while about 10% continue on to graduate school.
Students determine their major in the 2nd year. Physics related courses include Dynamics, Electromagnetics, Mathematics, Quantum Mechanics, Semiconductors, and Low Temperature Physics. Measurement related courses include Electronics and Measurement Engineering. Prerequisites are required for further studies in all Physics, Engineering, and Information Science courses. Considerable lab work is expected.
Students acquire the latest knowledge and techniques in science, medicine, and engineering. Opportunities include specializing in healthcare facility maintenance and research development for new medical equipment.
This department offers a vast number of courses so that students acquire a strong foundational knowledge of the sciences. Students may take any combination of the 109 natural science courses listed in the curriculum once they determine their major in the third year.
Studies are focused on biology, chemistry and application to genetic research in healthcare, food, and the environment. Careers in chemical and/or food companies are popular for many who have completed their studies, while others continue on to graduate school.
This department contains two courses, Food Science and Clinical Science. Both courses focus on the education for health science and preventive medicine. The curricula are composed of various topics such as effects of foods on human health, food sanitation and laboratory medicine. Graduates from Food Science obtain licensing in food sanitation administration while graduates from Clinical Science satisfy certain requirements necessary for taking the national examination for certification as medical technologists.
In the first three years, students take prerequisite courses in the basic and applied areas of Applied Chemistry and Biotechnology. Thereafter, each of the students selects Graduation Thesis in four research areas: ‘Applied Chemistry’, ‘Biotechnology’, ‘AquaBiotechnology’ and ‘Cosmetic Science’.
The mission of the department is to provide students with a sound mechanical engineering education, advance the understanding and application of mechanical engineering principles, and improve the quality of life of our citizens through teaching, research, and outreach programs. The department's research areas include applied mechanics (automotive and aerospace), materials, energy, fluid and thermal systems, design and manufacturing, and dynamics and controls.
The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering emphasizes the Energy (power)/Control Systems, Solid-state Electronics, and Computer Engineering/Communications. It offers students the opportunity to study and research, both theoretical and experimental, in a wide variety of subjects, including power electronics, controls, robotics, solid-state materials and devices, digital circuit, wireless systems, fiber optics and guided waves, image processing, communications, and computer systems.
Courses specializing in Software Engineering, Operating System, Computer Architecture, Image Processing, and Information Networks offered to understand software and hardware in Information and Computer Engineering. Students choose one of two majors in their second year: Information Technology (IT) or Computer Engineering (CE).
Students aim to become technicians and researchers who design machines that adapt to people's needs, including areas of ‘universal design’. Research areas include, ‘Robotics’, ‘Mechatronics’, ‘Intelligent Information Engineering’, ‘Human Welfare Engineering’, and ‘Universal Design’.
Biomedical engineering studies and education are performed focusing on the analyses of the structure and function of living systems in nano- to macro-scopic scales and their applications to biological and medical sciences, clinical medicine and assistive and rehabilitation technology. The major research fields are: 1) genetic engineering and molecular biology, 2) biomedical information engineering, 3) biomechanics and tissue engineering, 4) biomaterials and artificial organs, 5) medical engineering for diagnosis and therapy, and 6) human environmental science.

This course allows students to gain hands-on experience developing projects to acquire additional knowledge in Engineering.
This department focuses on the information science, which are new technologies in recent years. Students first learn the basics in computer hardware and software. In Information Sciences, research areas work in network system, database system, image processing and software engeneering. And in Mathematics Sciences, we use mathematical methods and analysis of numerical methods.
This department focuses on the past, present, and future of Earth and life. Lectures, field work, laboratory work, and seminars include courses in Taxonomy, Plant Phylogeny, Entomology, and Ecology; Astronomy, Meteorology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Geology; Anthropology, Primatology, and Archeology.
As the first university in the Okayama Prefecture to establish a department in architecture, we aim to become strong pioneers that will spread the skills and culture unique to this region. Research topics include Planning and Design, Environment and Facilities, Structure and Production; many courses focusing on architecture that is environmentally safe and that will meet the needs of different lifestyles in the future.
Being the only liberal arts department in a science university, we offer a wide range of courses including ‘Management/Economics’, ‘Politics/Society’, ‘History/Culture’, and an elective course in ‘Modern Asia’ with the hope of a deeper relationship with our neighboring Asian countries.
