Graduate School of EngineeringCourse of Applied Chemistry and Bioscience
Applications are also open to international students.
In today’s world, there is a definite need for technologies that are inherently in harmony with the environment. More specifically, Japan, as the first among developed nations to face a rapidly aging society, is finding that knowledge of food and medicine, along with technological foundations, is becoming increasingly essential. In particular, key research areas include environmental harmony, resource efficiency, development of chemical processes based on energy-saving technologies, high-performance materials, electronics, biotechnology, new energy development, the search for performance in foodstuffs, and lifestyle disease prevention - all of which can be tackled through applied chemistry and bioscience. Our goal is to educate capable chemical engineers, bio engineers, and professionals in food and health fields, equipped with creative capabilities and a broad perspective to meet the social needs by developing the basic knowledge of subjects and applications.
This course is divided into two sections: Applied Chemistry and Bioscience. By imparting students with broad foundational knowledge in both fields, we bring them to the level where they can become highly skilled chemical engineers, biotechnology specialists, food and health experts, and more. Our graduates are also known for their broad perspective and high degree of creative capabilities.
