Philosophy

In the School of Agriculture, education is focused on helping students understand the mechanisms and functions of various living organisms and the natural environment from various perspectives, including biology, chemistry, ecology, and environmental studies. Students will be trained to become professionals who can play an active role in related industrial fields or governmental administration, with the ability to apply their knowledge to “securing and effective use of biological resources,” “sustainable food production and consumption,” “formation of a rich living environment,” “conservation and creation of biocultural diversity,” and “contribution to health issues.” Additionally, students will acquire the ability to play an active role in several aspects of society through a rich culture, communication skills, independent and logical thinking and writing skills, information gathering skills, presentation skills, problem solving skills, high ethical standards, and creativity.

Basic Policy

Department of Agricultural Biology

Department of Agricultural Biology provides an education that aims to understand and utilize the diverse potential of living organisms, mainly plants, for human life. Students acquire the knowledge of applied biological sciences to contribute to the production and securing of food, resources, and useful materials, as well as to environmental conservation, to construct a sustainable society. Our education covers a broad range of subjects related to applied biological sciences, from molecular biology to agricultural field science. We also provide education on data science to foster diverse professionals who can play an active role in a wide range of fields, including agriculture, food, chemistry, the environment, energy, and information technology. Students will acquire skills of communication, writing and presentation, abilities to independently and logically think and solve problems, and high ethical standards and creativity to play active roles in various fields in society.

Department of Applied Biological Chemistry

The Department of Applied Biological Chemistry focuses on understanding biological phenomena at the molecular, cellular, and individual levels, whether in animals, plants, or microorganisms. Our department offers students the opportunity to learn the ecosystems and environments in which various life forms are interwoven on the basis of concepts such as material cycles and molecular interactions. The department fosters specialists in a wide range of fields related to bioscience and biotechnology, including food, pharmaceuticals, health, chemistry, resources and energy, and the environment, by educating students to utilize biological resources and functions in daily life, industry, and environmental conservation and restoration.

Department of Environmental Sciences and Technology

The Department of Environmental Sciences and Technology provides education aimed at conserving and creating the environment surrounding agricultural land, natural areas, and urban green spaces that serve as the foundation of life. Students will acquire the knowledge and skills to scientifically understand and evaluate the relationship between the elements of the environment (air, water, soil, and organisms) and human activities, as well as the skills to maintain and manage the green environment in a desirable state. To foster professionals who can play active roles in a wide range of fields related to ecological design for realizing sustainable regions, maintenance and promotion of a rich living and productive environment for humanity, and conservation and management of natural resources in urban areas, including cities and their surrounding farmland and forests. Additionally, students will acquire the ability to play an active role in many aspects of society through a rich culture, communication skills, independent and logical thinking and writing skills, information gathering skills, presentation skills, problem solving skills, high ethical standards and creativity.
