The Graduate School's Science Division is composed of six two-year master's programs: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Earth Sciences and Environmental Biology and Chemistry. Each course provides a systematic advanced curriculum, providing students with a cohesive education from the first year. This ensures that they develop a deep understanding of their specialties, while learning how to grasp problems in terms of their wider implications, as they become talented leaders of the next generation. The ultimate goal is to discover new phenomena of nature and to establish theories for elucidating those phenomena. The knowledge gained through research in fundamental sciences contributes to the promotion of new technology in various fields of application.
