Department of Biotechnology and Chemistry

Through studies in the fields of chemistry, life, food and environment, students aim at becoming engineers who can contribute to Monodzukuri (manufacturing) leading to solutions of health and environmental issues, with a wide variety of perspectives.

Course introduction

Biological and Chemical Engineering Course [JABEE]

Study a wide range of subjects from chemistry to biological engineering for the professional engineer

The graduates of this course, the first-stage of the Professional Engineer examination is exempt, have the qualification to become as an associate professional engineer (national qualification). Students can study a wide range of subjects from chemistry to biological engineering, and furthermore specialized subjects in the interdisciplinary fields to acquire the necessary skills to apply their knowledge in an interdisciplinary context.

Environmental Chemistry Course

Intensive studies of each specialized fields with a specific purpose

On the wide range of subjects to choose, students make intensive studies of each specialized fields of chemistry, bioengineering, and environmental chemistry from the basics to application in this course. Through these studies students will acquire the abilities of applying to Monodzukuri. (manufacturing) with taking into account of global environmental issues as engineers and researchers.

Food Science Course

Intensive study of the relationship between life and food

In this course students study the relationship between food and life. Students make an intensive study of the relationship between the food components and the functions of biological and cell systems from the basics to application along with food hygiene. Through these studies students will acquire the abilities developing safe and higher functional food products and utilizing for quality control.
