Vision
Create new materials and engineering technologies that
contribute to industrial development and
cultivate individuals who
make a difference to society
Materials. They play an important role in forming, molding, and advancing societies. They are responsible for the considerable transformations in our daily lives. After all, they are what give shape to science and technology. At the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, we work to continuously progress the field of materials science. Our students are trained to use the advanced and specialized knowledge of materials they acquire to carry out original and challenging research and development. They learn to find creative solutions to materials-related problems on their own, and furthermore, to conceive of ways to implement these solutions in the real world. The curriculum is designed to allow students to acquire a broad range of fundamental knowledge in materials science, from metallic materials and organic materials to inorganic materials. Through our courses, students also gain the knowledge and develop the creativity necessary to bring new, innovative industrial materials into existence. Our students will become the leading scientists and engineers in the field of materials science that are sought by the industrial world.
Message from the Department Chair
Materials are substances intentionally created to sustain human life and society, the bedrock of all modern technology. As the department with the longest history at Science Tokyo, we serve as a world-class nexus for interdisciplinary innovation through the universal lens of materials science. Under international mentorship, our students flourish as global pioneers, prepared to lead the next generation. Join us to realize a sustainable “Good Future” and expand your potential as we co-create a new vision for society.
