About Us
The study of chemistry is for clarifying the laws of material conversion, for synthesizing unknown compounds, and for clarifying the mechanisms of manifestations of physical properties. In the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, our aim is to deeply understand the basic properties and the responsiveness of substances at an atomic and molecular level, and to study the most advanced chemical technology systems. In the curriculum, study and education goals are set in order to develop individuals who are capable of pioneer chemical technologies that are essential for sustaining a rich society. Our aim is to produce scientists, engineers, and researchers who can take responsibility for society and the environment in the 21st century, and expert professionals who open new industries and civilizations.
We live surrounded by a multitude of chemically processed materials, such as clothes, plastics, computers and mobile phones, medicine, and fuel. The goal of the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering is to deeply understand chemical phenomena in all their forms, from research on atomic and molecular interactions to studies on global dynamics. We endeavor to offer a leading-edge education to aspiring scientists and engineers who will build a better tomorrow.
