Department of Physics and Mathematics
The Department of Physics and Mathematics has been reorganized into Department of Physical Sciences and Department of Mathematical Sciences from April 2021.
Going beyond cutting-edge research. Advancing science around the world with the fusion of physics and mathematics.
Physics, along with experiments, has used mathematics as a language to describe natural phenomena, and mathematical science, along with its own development, has used mathematics as a language to describe new concepts in physics, and the two have developed while deeply influencing each other.
The Department of Physics and Mathematics specializes in cutting-edge physics and mathematical science. In the field of physics, we have world-class achievements in research on "superconductivity," the science that is attracting the most attention in the 21st century. In astrophysics, we work with JAXA and others to conduct research related to the International Space Station and artificial satellites. In addition, you can learn a wide range of subjects, including nanotechnology, biophysics, primitive physics, and friction.
In the Department of Mathematics, our internationally acclaimed faculty cover a wide range of fields in mathematics, including representation theory, special function theory, nonlinear mathematics, topology, and nonlinear discrete systems.
Students will experience the thrill of studying abroad through a wide variety of lectures and a wealth of experiments, practical training, and exercises taught by top-class faculty members in each field.
After graduation, students have a wide range of career paths, including various manufacturers, the information industry, modern finance using advanced mathematical models, and even the education field. Additionally, 30-40% of students go on to graduate school every year.

What you can learn in the Department of Physics and Mathematics: A systematic curriculum from basics to specialization
In the first year, students learn the unique ways of thinking in physics and mathematics through lectures and exercises on the foundations of "Mechanics", "Basic Physics and Mathematics", "Linear Algebra", and "Analysis", and acquire the habit of thinking and understanding for themselves. They also begin experimental classes, through which they deepen their understanding and curiosity about physical phenomena.
In the second year, students are divided into two courses according to their interests and future goals, and study specialized subjects, experiments, and seminars in each field. Furthermore, the Department of Physics and Mathematics places emphasis on computer education by providing various computer-based exercises.
In the third year, students in each course will take on more specialized lectures, experiments, and seminars. Internships are also available.
In the fourth year, students join a laboratory of their choice and are exposed to cutting-edge experiments and research. They then work on their own theme for their "graduation research," summarizing the results of their research in a thesis, marking the culmination of their four years of study.
Characteristics of each course
A two-course selection system that allows students to deeply explore themes of their interest
The curriculum is rich in experimental subjects that allow students to experience for themselves how the laws of natural science are established through experiments, and to deepen their understanding of physics and mathematical sciences. In addition, from the second year, students can choose from two courses to pursue themes of their interest in greater depth. The "Physical Sciences Course" provides an in-depth study of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, and explores the cutting edge of modern physics. The "Mathematical Sciences Course" aims to nurture students who aim to become researchers, as well as students who can apply their knowledge and skills in society by learning cutting-edge mathematics and acquiring mathematical and logical thinking skills.
