Biosphere Resources Science, Biological Mechanisms and Functions, Applied Molecular Biosciences

Biological and general universal function, we aim to develop a new science and technologies that can be applied to biological production the special functions of a particular organism. Plants from microorganisms, and for all of life to animals, from the molecular, cellular, tissue, individual, we are developing a study of up to a population level. From the basic fields of cell function governed we're going to advanced education that becomes the basis for the production and development of biological resources.

The School of Agricultural Sciences was established in 1951. Currently, the School consists of three departments: Department of Bioenvironmental Sciences, Department of Bioresource Sciences, and Department of Applied Biosciences. The School has been engaged in the pursuit of education in the biological, biochemical and environmental sciences, which provide the foundation for agricultural and bio-industrial advancement. Since its foundation, many of our graduates now play an important role in agriculture and related fields all over the world, especially in Asia.

Agricultural sciences contribute to solve the current issues on the production and sustainability of food, environmental preservation, life-long health, and development of biomass energy through making clear and enhancing the function and mechanism of a living thing in the range from molecular level up to ecosystems. At the same time, the scope of the research is expanding toward a new horizon by constructing research networks with relevant or different disciplines.

Education of students is aimed at enriching their knowledge base, developing their thinking ability, and broadening their horizons in the field of biology. The curriculum consists of various specialized subjects with an emphasis on genetics, cell biology and biochemistry. We also offer small tutorial classes, in which students give presentations about textbook material or scientific articles written in English. Our program helps students to develop their critical thinking skills and presentation techniques and is designed to prepare students to go out into the global research environment.

The world-class researchers at this department are motivated by a simple but intense curiosity for the wonders of life. The 16 research groups within the Department and in affiliated institutes, such as the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Center for Gene Research, the Bioscience and Biotechnology Center, the Structural Biology Center, the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules, and the Nagoya Research Center for Brain & Neural Circuits together explore, the beauty of basic bioscience with state-of-the-art technology.

Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Cell Biology

The importance placed on intellectual enthusiasm and research freedom is reflected by the diversity of research groups and by the focus of the courses offered on basic biology. In their final year all students conduct a research project for their graduation thesis, which provides them with an opportunity to hone their skills in an independent research setting. They can choose from research at the molecular level, cellular level, and higher systems level in the 16 research groups within the Division and in affiliated institutes.

Undergraduate studies last for four years. The first two years of study are comprised mainly of lectures which aim to give students a firm grounding in foundation subjects. In the third year, students participate in seminars and receive two years of instruction in their chosen specialist field from faculty members . Finally, in the fourth year, students work on writing a graduation thesis. This curriculum is designed to build basic analytical skills and independent research capabilities, which is the educational objective of the School of Economics.
