Curriculum Policy
(Curriculum drafting policy)
Master's program
The curriculum of this division is organized in the field of Nano-Life Sciences in order to achieve the academic achievement set forth in the degree awarding policy. Specifically, the master's program systematically organize their courses as follows
Our purpose is to develop the human resources with an insatiable spirit of pursuit and a high ambition to contribute to people, science and society, combining knowledge of the world's most advanced nano dynamic measurement and control with opinions and sensitivity in the fields of life and material
sciences, and with mindfulness and knowledge of research into unexplored nano-fields. For these purposes, "Nanometrology" for direct observation and understanding of nanophenomena will be a major pillar, and in addition, "Supramolecular Chemistry", "Computational Science" and "Life Science" will be the four main fields of education and research, and the following courses will be arranged.
- 1.“Core subjects” to nurture a desire to challenge unexplored areas and broaden one's view of science as a researcher.
- 2.“Foundation Subjects in Nano Life Science” divided into two levels - basic and specialized - to provide the basic knowledge necessary for studying the field of Nano Life Science, with an emphasis on the integration of disciplines, and enable systematic study of areas outside one's own research field.
- 3.“Skill Subjects” helping students acquire the basic skills necessary for research.
- 4.“Research Projects Subjects” developing an attitude towards science in dialogue with others through participation in interdisciplinary research and diverse research within and outside the university.
- 5.“Research Support Subjects” helping students discover problems in their field of study and taking enough time to develop their presentation and documentation skills.
Doctoral program
The curriculum of this division is organized in the field of Nano Life Sciences in order to achieve the academic achievement set forth in the degree awarding policy, and offer courses with an appropriate combination of lectures, exercises, experiments, and practical training.
The following subjects will be offered to cultivate “researchers who have a high aspiration to contribute to people, science and society through relentless pursuit of excellence, and who will develop the world's most advanced nano-measurement and control in the fields of life and material sciences, and open up unexplored nano-fields.”
- 1.“Advanced Core Subjects” strengthening the perspectives necessary to conduct multifaceted research as a nano life science researcher.
- 2.“Advanced Subjects in Nano Life Sciences” deeply learning the latest findings necessary to challenge research in new areas.
- 3.“Advanced Skill Subjects” developing practical research skills that are essential for cutting-edge researchers.
- 4.“Advanced Research Projects Subjects” developing an attitude of pursuing the truth and practice as a researcher while interacting with national and international researchers during participation in interdisciplinary research and cutting-edge research within and outside the university.
- 5.“Advanced Research Support Subjects” helping students solve problems in their field of study and developing their research completion and presentation skills.
Although our division is a classified graduate school, we organize a systematic educational program for 5 years until the doctoral course.
Students entering the doctoral program can also acquire the basic knowledge necessary for research in nano life sciences by taking the "Advanced Core Subjects" described below.
