The department aims to investigate “Materials and Life” in nature (= Science), to create new materials, to recycle resources, and to develop new properties and functions. With the focus on specialties such as physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, and materials engineering, students learn existing disciplines through a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary approach. The program provides a specialized education that aims for cross-disciplinary knowledge through the fusion of science and engineering based on examining the fundamentals of materials. This ranges from atomic/macromolecular materials to biological phenomena, with the key themes of Substances and Nanotechnology, Harmonization between the Environment and Life, and Creation of Highly Functional Materials.
Developing a view of matter and life through experimentation
Through the Departmental Core Courses and laboratory classes on materials and life, students acquire the ability to contribute to the creation of substances ranging from atoms or molecules to polymers and biomolecules. The laboratory classes feature flexible and step-by-step programs. Students conduct basic experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology (colored in red), then step up to Department Specialized Courses (colored in green), and proceed to graduation research (colored in blue) through Research Trials (practical laboratory experience course).
Curriculum
The aim of the program is for students to acquire “combined intelligence,” which is the integration of physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, and other disciplines while focusing on a certain area of expertise. The first year, students take General Courses and in the second year, they begin to study materials and life sciences and conduct experiments and exercises in various fields. In the third and fourth years, students study courses from three themes (Group A to C) intersecting the academic disciplines, and classes are chosen from three academic disciplines: Chemistry & Applied Chemistry, Environmental & Life Sciences, and Materials & Molecular Sciences, enabling students to focus on their choice of fields.
