Applied Chemistry Course

WEBSITE

Course Outline

In the Applied Chemistry course we conduct educational research that covers chemistry on an atomic and molecular level to manufacturing that utilizes chemistry. Students study a wide variety of specialized areas in chemistry from chemical engineering related natural and man-made inorganic materials, organic materials and energy to bioprocesses.

Course Features

With the sophistication and depth of recent advanced science and technology, the importance of the fundamentals for materials has been rediscovered, requiring education and research that surpasses the existing framework of science and engineering. Additionally there is a need to cultivate human resources who can overview this widespread area and can play an important role in materials science. One of the main features of the Applied Chemistry course is that it covers chemistry from the basics (scientific fields) to its applications (engineering fields). Another feature is that it has traditionally addressed the array of environmental and energy problems as part of its heritage. We support students who have the desire to participate in society with chemistry and chemical technology as their base.

What kind of human resources are we training

We are cultivating human resources who have the ability to analyze phenomena with a broad perspective in “chemical matter” and “chemical processes”, and who can strive to balance environment and technology with a wide view.
