Department of Applied Chemistry and Bioscience

Students will learn the basics of science and engineering with a focus on chemistry and biology, acquire knowledge and skills that can be applied to various fields of science and technology to contribute to creating a more prosperous and sustainable future.
In addition, through experimental training and graduation research, students acquire knowledge, flexible thinking, communication skills, and problem-solving skills that can be applied to a wide variety of fields and tasks in society.

Developing the ability to solve problems faced by modern society using science and engineering

Modern society faces many challenges, including environmental pollution, the search for renewable energy, and increasing the quality of life in an aging society. In order to solve these issues, it is necessary to acquire the ability to use both a "scientific approach" to understand the mechanisms of nature and "engineering thinking" to pursue ways to develop society and industry in harmony with nature. 

Cultivating human resources with flexible thinking and application skills based on applied chemistry and environmental/biological engineering.

The pillars of study in this department are “applied chemistry” and “environmental/biological engineering”. In the field of applied chemistry, we aim to develop new substances and materials by applying chemical processes and natural phenomena to improve the performance of materials. In addition, in the environmental and biotechnology field, we utilize the excellent functions of living organisms and contribute to the advancement in environmental issues and medical applications. Furthermore, students will acquire computer skills essential for research methods, and develop knowledge, technology, flexible thinking, and application skills.
