innovations have produced data that may overturn conventional concepts. This canpromote new theory construction, computer simulation, and test of the laws of fundamental physics. New academic areas, such as the origin of life in the universe, are also emerging. Astrophysics is currently one of the most rapidly developing academic fields.
Since astrophysics covers wide topics, there is a need for varied knowledge of basic
physics, from classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and fluid dynamics, to quantum

duced, and the process of obtaining scientific data is discussed. In the second year, it
is important for students to learn basic physics and basic mathematics in Analytical
Mechanics 1 and 2, Advanced Electromagnetism, Electromagnetism A, Oscillationand Waves, Quantum Mechanics A, Statistical Mechanics A, Mathematics for Physicists
1 and 2, and Advanced Calculus I and II. These courses are the basis for research inastrophysics. In addition, it is extremely important to learn computer-related subjects,

and individual fields of basic physics. In addition, many recent developments in astrophysics have been promoted by observation data, and thus learning of observation methods and techniques is essential. On the basis of these standpoints, we provide the following undergraduate courses. Refer to the Common Portal for All Students (https://student.

In Fundamental Astrophysics I and II, students learn basic physical phenomena in
the universe, using the knowledge of basic physics obtained in the first and second
years. This course also forms the basis for advanced lectures and exercises in thesecond semester of the third year (Solar Physics, Stellar Astronomy, and Planetary
Astrophysics) and in the fourth year (Galactic and Interstellar Physics andObservational Cosmology). Laboratory Work C1, 2, 3, and 4 include learning of[First year]

Electromagnetism B and C, Statistical Mechanics B, and Continuum Mechanics.

[Fourth year]
In addition to studying the advanced subjects mentioned above, practicalresearch exercises are performed in Advanced Studies. In S1, mainly instrument
development-related topics are treated, while S2/3/4 and S5 focus on observational
and theoretical research topics.

For students planning to major in Earth & Planetary Sciences (Geophysics) Geophysics covers fields from the earth’s interior to space (the solar system) that canbe directly observed using satellites. The spatial structure, forms of matter, and physicalmechanisms of dynamic phenomena are examined through observation, data analysis,laboratory experiments, simulations, and theory. This field is broadly divided into solid
earth geophysics, fluid geophysics, and solar terrestrial physics. In recent years, “earth andplanetary system science,” in which the earth to the solar system is considered as one
interacting system, has become common, as the study of individual fields has deepened.
Interdisciplinary research fields related to mathematics, physics, and computer science
are also emerging. The following is a list of recommended courses. For details of underlined courses, refer to:https://www.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/education/undergraduate/index.html[ALL] indicates common subjects for all students.

[First year]
It is extremely important for first-year students to learn the basic material needed
for understanding geophysics, including in physics (Elementary Physics A and B [ALL]and Thermodynamics [ALL]), mathematics (Calculus [lecture and exercise] A and B[ALL], Linear Algebra [lecture and exercise] A and B [ALL], and Foundations of Modern
Mathematics A and B), and information processing (Information Processing Basics
and Exercises in Information Processing Basics [ALL]). Physics of the Earth (ALL) is an
introductory course in which the latest research results in general geophysics are
explained in a comprehensible way by multiple lecturers. In Experiments inGeoscience (ALL), students are taught and experience phenomena on the Earththrough experiments and observations, which they plan themselves. It is also desirable for students to study a wide range of other fields.

[Second year]
General subjects: Introduction to Geophysics I and II
Basic subjects I: Geophysical Continuum Mechanics, Advanced Geophysical Continuum
Mechanics
Basic subjects II: Computational Geophysics and Computational Geophysics – Exercise,and Observational Geophysics and Observational Geophysics Laboratory A and B
Related subjects: Global Tectonics, General Geological Sciences I and II, Electro­
magnetism A and Exercise for Electrodynamics, Mathematics for Physicists 1,
Oscillat­i on and Waves (ALL), Analytical Mechanics 1, Quantum Mechanics A,
Statistical Mechanics A, Introduction to Probability Theory (ALL), and Mathematical
Statistics (ALL)7
In Introduction to Geophysics I, students study the solar system and the Earth aspart of this system, and in part II, the focus is on the air and oceans of the Earth andthe Earth’s activities. In Geophysical Continuum Mechanics and Advanced
Geophysical Continuum Mechanics, which are in Basic Subjects I, students learn basic
theories common to geophysics. In Basic Subjects II, students learn basic researchmethods (together with data analysis methods for geophysics to be studied in thethird year). In Computational Geophysics and Computational Geophysics – Exercise,the aim is to understand the basics of data analysis and numerical simulation
through computational exercises. In Observational Geophysics, students learn theprinciples of observations and applications, and through exercises, obtain observation data by themselves for analysis in areas where prominent geophysical phenomena can be observed, such as Aso and Beppu. In the second year, learning of physics
and mathematics is important, and thus it is strongly recommended to study physicalmathematics, which is equivalent to Mathematics for Physicists 1. Learning all ofthese basic subjects will permit students to advance in the field of geophysics.

[Third year]
Laboratory Work in Earth & Planetary Sciences (DA, DB, DC, and DD)
Basic subjects II: Data Analysis for Geophysical Problems
Basic subjects III: Mechanics of Elastic Solids, Physics of Earth Materials, GeophysicalFluid Dynamics, Electrodynamics of Ionized Gases
Special subjects I: Solid Earth Geophysics A and B, Oceanography I, Meteorology I,
Climate Physics, Geomagnetism & Aeronomy
Related subjects: Numerical Analysis, Continuum Mechanics, Electromagnetism C,
Introduction to Practical Data Science
Students in the third year should engage in a wide range of learning that is not
limited to specific fields of geophysics. If interested in mathematical physics ingeophysics, students should focus on physics and mathematics, even in the third year,
and then take advanced geophysics courses based on this knowledge. In contrast, if
interested in observational sciences, students should learn a wide range of observation-related advanced subjects beyond the boundaries of geophysics.

[Fourth year]
Advanced Studies (Earth & Planetary Sciences) (T1, T2, and T3)
Advanced subjects II: Subjects in the 4400s
In the Advanced Studies course, students select one of T1 (electromagnetism), T2(atmosphere/hydrosphere), and T3 (solids).

For students planning to major in Earth & Planetary Sciences (Geology and Mineralogy) The aims of geology and mineralogy are to examine ongoing phenomena on earth, aswell as the 4.6 billion-year history of the Earth. Research on materials, such as minerals,
rocks, fossils, and strata, is a characteristic of this field. The Earth & Planetary Sciences
course allows students, including those who had fewer opportunities to study geosciencein the past, to learn the basics of research and specific methods in geoscience and earth& planetary sciences by the end of the fourth year.
The major research areas in Geology and Mineralogy are:(1) Studies of components and development of materials making up the Earth andother planets, such as rocks, minerals, and meteorites, by analyzing the conditions
and structures of these materials on a scale ranging from the atomic level (nanometers) to the global level (several tens of thousands of meters).
(2) C hronology/isotope chemistry and deformation analysis in long-term crust/mantle
transition and changes of the supracrustal environment.
(3) H istory of changes in the supracrustal environment, including biological evolution.
(4) Development of the earth and solar system over 4.6 billion years and the evolution
and function of organisms, using information on the age of materials and the physicochemical environment at the time of formation through chemical and isotope
analysis of the materials.

[First year]
Since Earth & Planetary Sciences is a wide field covering various phenomena in
the geosphere, students in the first year are expected to learn broad natural scienceand other subjects. In addition, it is important that first-year students take geology
courses, such as Basic Geoscience A and B, Experiments in Geoscience, and Birth andDevelopment of the Earth, which are provided as basic subjects in geoscience for all
students.

[Second year]
For second-year students, it is strongly recommended to take General Geological[Third year]
Laboratory Work E and other subjects in the 3500s
Laboratory Work E is a course to which we attach a great deal of importance forthird-year students. The laboratory work is provided with assistance from many advisors, which allows students to obtain skills for field study and instrumental analysis
that are useful for research in every geoscience field, and especially in geologicalscience. Methods of Geological Mapping and Instrumental Analysis for Geology I and
II are bundled with Laboratory Work E1 and E2. The lectures and exercises (in the
3500s and 4500s) are designed so that students can gradually strengthen theirexpertise from the third to fourth years. Four basic courses in the first semester,
Introduction to Earth and Planetary History, Introduction to Science of Earth andPlanetary Materials, Introduction to Geological Processes of Earth and Planetary
Surfaces, and Introduction to Geological Processes of Earth and Planetary Interiors
are essential as basic knowledge for students who want to learn the fields of geology and mineralogy, and thus it is recommended to take all of these courses. In thesecond semester, more specialized lectures, experiments, and exercises are offered toallow each student a choice depending on their goals and interests. We prefer thatstudents learn as many subjects as possible in a balanced manner. In addition, it isstrongly recommended to take Field Excursion for Geological Sciences IA, IB, and II,
which provides the opportunity to perform field exercises.

[Fourth year]
Advanced Studies (Earth & Planetary Sciences) (compulsory course) and courses in
the 4500s
For fourth-year students, these courses are compulsory. Advanced Studies T11 toT16 provide topics to allow students to show their achievements based on their four
years of study at the university. Individual advanced studies courses are closely
related to seminars at the graduate school and instruction is mainly based on theseseminars. Therefore, students participate in seminars in most of these courses.

Sciences I and II, which cover the above research areas (1) to (4) in the first andsecond semesters. These courses are based on basic geoscience knowledge obtainedin the first year. Field Geosciences and Materials of the Earth and Solar Systemshould also be taken, as well as advanced courses in the Faculty of Science (in the2500s), such as Global Tectonics, Chemistry for the Solar System, Evolution of the
Biosphere, and Basic Exercises in Geoscience. Students can learn research areas (1)to (4) and other recent topics by taking these lectures and exercises in the first andsecond years.
9

Advanced second- to fourth-year courses are also useful for students who hope to
specialize in geology or mineralogy, and students should learn these fields based on individual interests.

10For students planning to major in Chemistry Chemistry is the study of all materials in the natural world. Students should understand the principles that determine the basic properties of a material; systematicallystudy the conditions, nature and changes of a material; and learn techniques to develop
materials with new functions. Students who plan to major in Chemistry should also learna wide range of natural sciences, including basic physics, mathematics, biologicalsciences, geoscience and space science. Students who wish to stand on the frontier ofchemical research will certainly need basic knowledge in fields other than chemistry.
Therefore, obtaining basic knowledge of natural science in a broad perspective is an
important goal of learning in the first and second years.

[First year]
Chemistry courses that are common for all students are designed to teach basic
knowledge and techniques for general chemistry. Foundations of Physical Chemistry(Quantum Physics), Foundations of Physical Chemistry (Thermodynamics), andFoundations of Organic Chemistry I and II are important basic courses. Foundationsof Physical Chemistry provides essential knowledge for learning of Inorganic
Chemistry in the second to fourth years. In addition, it is important to learn basic
mathematics, such as linear algebras and calculus, for learning basic physical chemistry. For students with a deeper interest in physical chemistry, Introduction to
Theoretical Chemistry is recommended. Frontier of Chemistry is a course conductedin a seminar format by researchers in the Chemical program, while Chemical
Laboratory at Uji Campus introduces recent research results in an easily understandable way for first-year students. Chemistry lectures in English are given by overseas
lecturers and provide a good opportunity to develop communication ability in
English, which is important because students who work in the chemistry field willneed English skills. Since learning of chemistry is mainly based on experiments, it isalso strongly recommended that students take Introduction to Chemical Experiments
and other experimental courses.

[Second year]
Physical Chemistry I (Quantum Chemistry), Physical Chemistry II, Exercises inPhysical Chemistry A, Inorganic Chemistry I, Organic Chemistry IB, Biochemistry I,
Quantum Chemistry I, and Analytical Chemistry I are all important for second-year
students to obtain the basic knowledge required for systemic learning of chemistry,and students are encouraged to take all these courses. The courses offer more
systematic learning based on Foundations of Physical Chemistry (Quantum Theory),Foundations of Physical Chemistry (Thermodynamics), and Foundations of Organic
Chemistry I and II, which are taken by first-year students. Students with sufficientability can take third-year courses in advance. For students who plan to pursue amaster’s degree in graduate school, it is important to acquire balanced solid basic
11knowledge in the first and second years. Introduction to Chemical Experiments isdesigned to allow students to learn basic techniques for study of chemical phenomena of materials.

[Third year]
Physical Chemistry IIIA and IIIB, Inorganic Chemistry IIA and IIB, Analytical
Chemistry II, Organic Chemistry II and III, Biochemistry II and III, Quantum Chemistry
II, Solid State Chemistry I and II, Chemical Mathematics, Statistical Mechanics ofChemical Systems, Methods of Chemical Experiments I and II, Exercises in Physical
Chemistry B and C, Exercises in Inorganic and Solid State Chemistry, Exercises in
Biochemistry, and Exercises in Computational Chemistry
These courses are taken by third-year students as the core for chemistry in theuniversity and allow students to learn many interesting aspects of chemistry.
Exercises are given in each course to allow students to deepen their understandingof lectures and obtain practical knowledge. Completing these exercises is strongly
recommended because understanding is significantly deepened by solving practiceproblems. Chemical Laboratory A and B are important to develop skills and views ofmatter, which are necessary for chemical research, and these courses are recommended for all students in Chemistry. After students join a laboratory in the fourthyear or after graduation, they will be engaged in cutting-edge research in one fieldof chemistry, but are unlikely to perform experiments in other fields. Therefore, gaining experience over a wide array of experiments is important.

[Fourth year]
Physical Chemistry IV, Organic Chemistry IV, Inorganic Chemistry III, Biochemistry
IV, and Exercises in Organic Chemistry
These courses can be selected by fourth-year students depending on individualinterest and level of learning. In the fourth year, students also take Advanced Studies(Chemistry) (in the 5600s), which is compulsory for graduation work. In Advanced
Studies (Chemistry), students perform graduate project work through learning inseminars and direct instruction by advisors, depending on the research area of eachlaboratory. Students learn organization of a laboratory notebook and data, presentation skills, and other methods of scientific research, as well as techniques for experiments and theoretical calculations.
The course tree has a broad flow. Students can obtain fruitful and interesting information by voluntarily planning their learning to achieve individual goals. Please do not hesitate to ask the instructors of Chemistry courses to find out about the subjects of thesecourses.

12For students planning to major in Biological Sciences Biological Sciences has grown strongly in recent years, and emergence of areas overlapping with other natural sciences has also been significant. The Biological Sciences
program consists of three departments: Zoology, Botany, and Biophysics. Education in theuniversity has been developed through cooperation among these departments and therelated faculties and graduate schools.

[First year]
It is desirable to take Biology courses provided as common for all students.
Frontiers of Biology is taught by instructors from multiple faculties, and provides
students who have no knowledge of biology with a good opportunity to learn about
trends in Biological Sciences in the 21st century. Introduction to Biology and Life
Science is taught by instructors from the three departments and the Graduate Schoolof Biostudies, and enables students who did not learn biology in high school toexperience the best parts of cutting-edge research in Biological Sciences. Students
who want to learn biology above a basic level in the first semester can get the basics
to understand advanced biological subjects in Fundamentals of Organismal and
Population Biology and Fundamentals of Cell and Molecular Biology, which areoffered in the second semester. Interdisciplinary Sciences course also includes
lectures of biological sciences. The lectures of other natural science courses are also
often useful for learning Biological Sciences, and students should also choose topursue courses in the humanities, social science, and foreign languages. Students do
not necessarily need to learn all subjects in individual classes.

[Second year]
In Biological Sciences, research is performed on molecules, cells, and organisms
including phylogeny, species, population, community, and ecosystem. Molecular
Biology I and II, Cell Biology I and II, Basic Developmental and Regenerative Biology,
and Plant Physiology are offered as major basic courses for second-year students
with a focus on molecules and cells. In these courses, a systematic understanding oforganisms at the molecular level is obtained. In Biomolecular Science I and II,
students learn more about biomolecules, such as proteins. In contrast, Plant
Phylogeny and Taxonomy I, Biological Oceanography, and Invertebrate Zoology are
offered as courses on organisms viewed at higher levels.
Exercises for second-year students are included in Experiments in Fundamental
Biology, and Marine Biology with Laboratory & Field Work 1 and 3. Students willlearn basic methods common to Biological Sciences research in Experiments inFundamental Biology. Pre-registration is required for Marine Biology with Laboratory& Field Work 1 and 3. Registration is accepted by the Biological Sciences office in the
Faculty of Science in June and January for Marine Biology with Laboratory & Field
Work 1 and 3, respectively. The schedule will be announced later. The contents ofExperiments in Fundamental Biology are shown below.
E2 courses for Biological Sciences (for first- and second-year students)
In Biological Sciences, it is important to become familiar with lectures and discussions
13


conducted in English. Therefore, it is recommended that first- and second-year students
learn E2 courses, in which the basics of Biological Sciences can be learned in English.
Fundamental Experiments in Organismal Biology (2 credits in the first semester)This course is offered to enable students to experience a wide range of Biological
Sciences research. At the organism and higher level, animals from insects to primates andplants including pteridophytes and spermatophytes with high morphological diversity are
examined. Researchers who are experts in individual areas provide lectures and directions on exercises, with the aim of enabling students to understand the characteristics
and handling of individual species.
Fundamental Experiments in Cellular and Molecular Biology (4 credits in the second
semester)This course prepares students to understand the basics of biology and basic experimental techniques. Observations with various types of microscopes and simple experiments are performed using cells from microorganisms, yeast, fungi, and plants, and with
cultured cells. In addition, simple analyses, such as genotyping and measurement of
enzyme activity, are performed by extracting nucleic acids and proteins frommicroorganisms.

[Third year]
Courses for third-year students at the molecular and cellular level include
Developmental Biology I and II, Plant Molecular Biology, Plant Molecular Physiology,
Neurobiology, Immunobiology, Molecular Functions in Biological Systems, Genome
Science, Molecular Signaling in Biological Systems, Chromosome Biology, Molecular
Biophysics, Plant Molecular Genetics I and II, Mechanism for Genome Stability, andBioinformatics. Courses at the organism or higher level are Animal Systematics, Plant
Systematics II, Ethology, Anthropology 1 and 2, Ecology I and II, Limnology,
Environmental Ecology, Mathematical Biology, Biotic Interactions, and Conservation
Biology. These are advanced courses on individual fields of Biological Sciences.
Seminars and exercises in individual fields include Seminars in Biological Science,
Laboratory in Biological Science, Marine Biology with Laboratory & Field Work 2 and 4,
Field Work in Biological Science 1 and 2, Limnology, Field Course, and Laboratory on
Stable Isotope Analysis. Students will acquire knowledge about individual topics in
lectures, while learning basic research methods for individual fields in exercises.
Students should also develop the ability to obtain cutting-edge research information
by reading the latest English-language journal articles in Seminars in Biological
Science. Note that pre-registration is required to participate in these seminars andexercises.

[Fourth year]
Advanced Studies (Biological Sciences) focuses on a research topic in which thestudent is interested. Students should be engaged in this work while experiencing
cutting-edge Biological Sciences research.
14

Informatics-related subjects provided by the Faculty of Science 
Numerical computation, simulation, and data analysis using computers play an important role in modern scientific research. Theoretical topics such as computer science andnumerical analysis, which utilize computers, are the basis of scientific research and havebeen intensively studied. Computers are indispensable in modern society, and it is important for students of the Faculty of Science, whatever major they may choose, to learn thoseinterdisciplinary subjects that are related to informatics and computer usage. In addition
to the subject categorization into five majors (Mathematical Sciences, Physics andAstrophysics, Earth & Planetary Sciences, Chemistry, and Biological Sciences), we provide
another cross-sectional category “informatics-related subjects,” which will be useful forstudents of either of the five majors.
Students of the Faculty of Science are asked to study both theory and practice ofcomputing in a balanced way, in order to be able to utilize computers for solving scientific problems. Through these informatics-related subjects, students will learn not only
concrete methods for numerical calculation and data analysis but also fundamental
topics: efficiency and limitation in computing, the relation between numerical computation and symbolic manipulation of formulas, and even what is computation and how
correct computation can be implemented.

[Subjects for First-Year Students]• Basic Informatics (Faculty of Science) and Practice of Basic Informatics (Faculty of
Science)
In these subjects, students learn basic information processing. It is strongly
recommended for all students to take these subjects, which include basic topics thatwill be useful for learning other informatics-related subjects in later years. Note that
there are many subjects provided for students of any Faculty under similar names of“Basic Informatics” and “Practice of Basic Informatics” as Liberal Arts and Sciences
Courses, but students of the Faculty of Science have to take Basic Informatics (Facultyof Science) and Practice of Basic Informatics (Faculty of Science) in order to get credits for Specialized Basic Education in the Faculty of Science.

[Subjects for Second-Year Students]• Computational science: Foundations of Numerical Computation (Liberal Arts andSciences Courses), Computer Graphics Exercise (Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses),Computational Methods in Physics 1 (Physics), Computational Geophysics(Geophysics), Computational Geophysics - Exercise (Geophysics)• Statistics/data science: Introductory Statistics (Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses),Elementary Probability (Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses), Statistics and Artificial

In Laboratory Work in individual majors, students will also learn high-levelcomputer skills and information processing.

[Subjects for Fourth-Year Students]• Computational science: Topics in Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics)• Statistics/data science: Data Assimilation A and B (Interdisciplinary)• Computer science: Advanced Computer Science (Mathematics)
In graduate project work (Special Study Course), students will also learn
advanced-level computer skills and information processing.

Informatics-related subjects in the second or later years are classified into three categories. The first category is “Computational science”, which includes theoretical subjects
and practical exercises in individual majors required to conduct numerical simulations
using computers. The second one is “Statistics/data science”, which includes subjects on
fundamental theories in statistics and probability for data analysis, where students learn
the skill of data analysis through topics from various areas. The third one is “Computerscience”, which includes subjects on theoretical aspects of the fundamental properties ofcomputing.
