Do you ever experience a feeling of mystery regarding the world around you or various natural phenomena? Science explains how
and why these phenomena occur and provides a blueprint to guide the development of applicable technology to aid human society.
The Faculty of Science at Nara Women’s University has educated leading women who have both problem-finding and problemsolving capabilities cultivated through education and research in basic science at a high level. We understand the need to educate

people who have a broad perspective and sense of values regarding issues such as the rapid globalization of modern society
following the advancement of science, the diversification of values, and changes in hard-to-predict natural and social phenomena.
This understanding led to the restructuring of our five departments. In the Faculty of Science, we have two major departments:
the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and the Department of Chemistry, Biology, and Natural Environmental
Sciences, which both provide education in combination and coordination with the other departments. Our aim is to "Educate
students who have problem-finding and problem-solving capabilities based on a wide range of perspectives through education andactive research in science at a high level."

As one of only two national women's universities in Japan, Nara Women's University is educating and nurturing women who
can contribute to the realization of a society (gender-equal society) where men and women can display their individuality andcapabilities while showing mutual respect for one other. However, women currently account for only a small proportion in thefields of science and technology in Japan. We take various initiatives to support female researchers and focus efforts to establish
education and research environments. You too can travel through the wonderful world of science together with us following our
education system in the beautiful campus of Nara Women's University.
