Master’s Program

With an aim to foster human resources who can serve the advancement of Applied Chemistry and associated fields and contribute to developing human society and conserving the global environment, the Applied Chemistry Division (Master’s Program) sets standards for the skills and knowledge students should acquire before graduation as described below: Those who fulfill the requirements and pass their thesis defense shall be deemed to have acquired these qualities and will be awarded a diploma.

 

1. The ability to multidimensionally identify how chemical technologies and substances can impact human society and the global environment, acquired by studying a wide range of disciplines, including natural science disciplines beyond one’s disciplinary specialty or interdisciplinary fields covering the social sciences
2. The expertise that enables one to play an active role at the forefront of Applied Chemistry and associated fields as well as to develop new chemical products and chemical technologies and explore new chemical industry fields
3. A level of English proficiency that enables high performance in society and accommodates further developments in globalization
4. The ability to describe and explain one’s research in a logical, appropriate and clear way in one’s research papers and presentations.

Doctoral Program

With an aim to foster human resources who have acquired high expertise in Applied Chemistry as well as the interdisciplinary competence to comprehensively understand the associated impacts on human society and the global environment, and can thus conduct research and development independently in their field of expertise, the Applied Chemistry Division (Doctoral Program) sets standards for the skills and knowledge students should acquire before graduation as described below: Those who fulfill the requirements and pass their thesis defense shall be deemed to have acquired these qualities and will be awarded a diploma.

 

1. The ability to multidimensionally identify how chemical technologies can affect human society and the global environment, acquired by studying not only one’s disciplinary specialty, but also a wide range of disciplines, including associated interdisciplinary fields
2. The expertise that enables one to independently play an active role at the forefront of Applied Chemistry and associated fields as well as to creatively conduct research and development that will contribute to sustainable human evolution and wellbeing
3. A level of English proficiency that enables one to stand on the forefront of globalization and independently lead international society
4. The ability to conduct highly specialized and original research, communicate the research findings widely, and complete a doctoral thesis with significant academic value

Curriculum Policy

Master’s Program

The Applied Chemistry Division (Master’s Program) seeks to cultivate the ability to contribute to the further development of Applied Chemistry and associated disciplines, as well as to the development of human society and global environment conservation, by having students take courses in Applied Chemistry and other divisions and receive research guidance.

 

1. Students will take courses in divisions other than Applied Chemistry as well as general science and engineering courses to acquire broad knowledge of disciplines other than their disciplinary specialty
2. Students will take courses offered by the Applied Chemistry Division, including those associated with Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, Industrial Inorganic Chemistry, Industrial Physical Chemistry, and Environmental and Chemical Engineering, to acquire expertise in these disciplines. Furthermore, they will conduct research on a specific theme; and therefore acquire profound professional knowledge of their theme in a broad context and learn about research procedures, organization and ethics
3. Students will improve their English proficiency by taking English for Science and Technology and English-taught courses, presenting research outcomes in English, and writing academic papers in English.

Doctoral Program

The Applied Chemistry Division (Doctoral Program) seeks to cultivate the ability to independently conduct research and development based on high expertise in Applied Chemistry and broad knowledge of associated fields, by having students take seminars and receive research guidance

 

1. Students will read academic papers and commentaries in interdisciplinary fields other than Applied Chemistry to acquire broad knowledge of these disciplines.
2. Students will conduct intensive research supported by research guidance provided by faculty; and therefore acquire profound expertise of their theme in a broad context, learn about research procedures, organization and ethics, and submit their dissertation as a culmination of their research
3. Students will present their research outcomes in Japan and overseas in English, compile and submit academic papers in English, and conduct research at overseas institutions as required; and therefore, they will actively improve their communication skills
