Overview

In the Faculty of Science and Graduate School of Science, we emphasize the importance of carefully observing and deeply contemplating nature and society to discover their essence. Simultaneously, it is crucial to challenge ourselves without being confined by conventions. In fact, many significant discoveries in the world have been made through such processes. While it is essential to diligently engage in your studies on a daily basis, please aim for genuine understanding without simply pursuing grades. This approach also leads to grasping the essence of things. We believe that understanding the essence of the natural world is similar to understanding the essence of society. Although it is not guaranteed to bring immediate benefits in society, individuals with such qualities are truly essential for the advancement of the world.
In the Department of Biological Sciences in the Faculty of Science and the Department of Biological Sciences in the Graduate School of Science, there are many excellent courses available, providing opportunities to study various subjects. However, the true pleasure lies in discoveries made through your own efforts. Here, there are numerous researchers conducting world-class research in various fields using animals, plants, and microorganisms. You will also conduct research in such an environment. In your bachelor thesis you will pursue discoveries, and in the graduate school, you will conduct even more important and high-quality research. Discoveries do not come just from learning; it requires the ability to discern the essence and the attitude to take matters into your own hands. We look forward to welcoming you as fellow researchers who aim for discoveries and inventions with flexible thinking.
