The Graduate Schools aim to contribute to the advancement of culture by delving deeply into education and researchin theories and application of academics, as well as to train academic researchers, highly qualified professionals andspecialists, and educators.
A master’s program and a doctoral program have been established at the Graduate School of Engineering. The standard
minimum duration of study for these programs is two years for the master’s program and three years for the doctoral
program.
In the master’s program, we cultivate students’ academic knowledge and research skills or the high-level ability
necessary for occupations that demand a high level of expertise. In the doctoral program, we cultivate the high-level
ability and rich academic knowledge necessary for conducting research activities as an independent researcher.
The main details of each department in the Graduate School of Engineering are as follows:
Departments
FieldsOrganic Material Chemistry, Organic Reactions, Catalysis in Organic
Molecular andSynthesis, Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules, Organic Chemistry of
Macromolecules, Macromolecular Assembly Systems, Supramolecular
