CURRICULUM Learning Features and Curriculum

Characteristics of learning

In this department, students will study five fields: organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical science, and life science.
Through a variety of lectures, students will learn the specialized knowledge, techniques, and methods necessary for researchers and engineers.
You can stay up to date with the latest technology and other topics.

In addition to exploring the structure, properties, and reactions of molecules, we also explore the mysteries of life phenomena from a chemical perspective.

"Chemistry" is a field of study that explores the essence and potential of matter at the molecular level. Based on this, "life science" seeks to understand the essence of life phenomena based on the properties of molecules and their interactions. Today, these two fields play a major role, and our department aims to develop science, create products based on this, and develop new interdisciplinary fields, with the keywords of environment, life, resources, and information.
Department of Chemistry and Biological Science offers a curriculum based on five core fields that responds to students' desire to learn, including a wide range of lectures, hands-on experiments and practical training, and subjects that allow students to experience connections to society and industry.
By equipping students with the broad, basic knowledge and ways of thinking that researchers and engineers working in these fields should have, and by cultivating flexible thinking skills, we aim to train individuals who can demonstrate their abilities in diverse and new fields.
Students will learn about cutting-edge industrial chemistry applied to cosmetics and organic electroluminescence lighting, the discovery of new chemical substances that serve as raw materials for pharmaceuticals, and cutting-edge biotechnology such as gene and protein science.
Our teaching staff will provide you with personal support to help you acquire the knowledge, skills, and methods you will need to be a researcher or engineer active in a variety of fields in the future, and to help you demonstrate flexible thinking skills.

Subject Name	Features
Quantum Chemistry I	Quantum mechanics is essential to understanding various molecular behaviors. This course will explain the basics of quantum mechanics and the basics necessary to understand molecular structure, electronic states, and chemical reactions, without using mathematical formulas as much as possible. In particular, students will learn the concept of molecular orbital theory and an understanding of chemical reactions using frontier molecular orbital theory.
Biological Science B	In Life Science B, students will learn mainly about the "Central Dogma." The Central Dogma is the central principle of molecular biology that describes the process by which an organism's genetic information is expressed from DNA to RNA to protein. The mechanisms of DNA replication, transcription to RNA, and translation to protein are common to organisms from bacteria to humans, and students will acquire basic knowledge and ways of thinking required in a variety of fields in the life system.
Organic Chemistry B	This course will provide an understanding of the stereochemistry of carbon bonds that form the basis of the complex three-dimensional structures of organic compounds, and will study the principles of substitution and elimination reactions that occur on these carbon atoms. Through typical reactions of specific compound groups such as alkynes, alkyl halides, alcohols, and ethers, students will gain a practical understanding of molecular conformational changes and reaction mechanisms.
Inorganic Chemistry B	This course systematically studies the chemical properties of elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen group, oxygen group, halogens, and rare gases, as well as their compounds, from the viewpoint of electronic structure. It also provides a comprehensive explanation of how these inorganic substances are useful in cutting-edge materials science, and how they are essentially related to various environmental issues and life phenomena.
Bioinformatics	Bioinformatics is a field that uses computers to unravel the mysteries of life from vast amounts of information, such as genome information and gene expression information, and predict the plot of the drama that unfolds there, and has become indispensable to cutting-edge life science. In this lecture, you will develop the ability to freely use bioinformatics in life information analysis.

English CoreⅠ-a	The main goal is to improve English reading and listening skills. In terms of reading ability, we aim to acquire the ability to read and understand relatively short and concise texts written in expressions that are very commonly used in daily life. In terms of listening ability, we aim to cultivate the ability to understand clear and slow speech and pronunciation to a degree that can meet specific needs.
English CoreⅠ-b	The aim of this course is to improve your English reading and writing skills. You will develop the ability to understand sentence structure, accurately read the contents, and summarize. In particular, you will aim to be able to accurately read articles and reports that reveal the writer's attitude and perspective. You will also improve your ability to write coherent texts on topics of interest. Vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation will be covered to develop accurate reading and writing skills.
English CoreⅠ-c	The aim of this course is to develop English listening and speaking skills. Students will develop the ability to understand words spoken slowly and clearly, and to grasp phrases and expressions related to themselves, their family, school, local area, and other things around them. Students will also be able to communicate their opinions and feelings in simple English, express opinions such as for and against, and express similarities and differences.
English CoreⅠ-d	Can write and speak in multiple sentences about hobbies, likes and dislikes using simple words and basic expressions. Can write and speak in short sentences about his/her own experiences using a dictionary. Can describe simple facts about daily life in multiple sentences using simple words and basic phrases with limited syntax, after preparing what to say in advance.
