As all substances are composed of atoms and molecules, advancements in chemistry significantly impact any field of endeavor. This Department studies new materials such as superconductive materials and functional materials as well as the environment, resources, energy and organic pharmaceuticals in order to develop an progressive society in terms of chemistry. In order to develop knowledge and the ability to address issues of modern society, we have introduced a three-course system “Bio-Organic Fine Chemical Course,” “Environmental Analysis Course” and “Material Science Course.” Students can choose the “Special Research Program” that assigns students to research laboratories from their 3rd year, according to their desires and academic performance.
