MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
TOMOHARU SHIBUYA ,Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology
This year marks the 10th anniversary since the Green Science and Green Engineering
programs were established in the Faculty of Science and Technology of Sophia University.
As all subjects offered by these two programs are taught entirely in English, students
can learn a variety of subjects including laboratory subjects and conduct undergraduate
research in English. Furthermore, one of the foremost attractions of these English-taught
programs is that small-group tutorials are held, allowing individual students to receive detailed
instructions from teachers. Because there are few science and technology courses that allow students to complete theirdegree entirely in English in science and engineering departments in Japanese universities, both programs have attracted alarge number of students from many countries and regions around the world.
In the Green Science program, students learn the basics of chemistry, applied chemistry, physics, and biology, all of which
are based on the curriculum of the Department of Materials and Life Sciences. In the Green Engineering program, students
learn the basics of physics, mechanical engineering, and electrical/electronic engineering, which are based on the curriculumof the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences. In both programs, after studying the basic subjects extensively inthe first and second years, students take specialized subjects in their third year with their future career design in view. Then,they receive specific guidance for their undergraduate research from the advisor of the laboratory that they join in their fourthyear. On top of these, graduate programs in Green Science and Engineering, which are offered only in English, are alsoavailable in the Graduate School of Science and Technology, giving students an opportunity to acquire even greater expertise.
Besides learning in English, students who wish to learn in Japanese have several opportunities to do so. Students can learn
with Japanese-course students when they enroll in laboratory subjects or conduct undergraduate research, which can leadto deepening exchanges. In addition, as almost all the faculties are located in the Yotsuya Campus, active interaction among
students from different faculties or departments is possible, allowing students to experience Japanese students’ culture anddaily campus life firsthand.
We have prepared an appealing curriculum and learning environment for students from abroad. Both the faculty and theJapanese-course students eagerly look forward to having you with us.

GREEN SCIENCE PROGRAM AND
GREEN ENGINEERING PROGRAM
To meet the diverse needs of internationalization, the Faculty added two new programs taught entirely in English
as part of its regular curriculum in September 2012. The Green Science Program offered by the Department ofMaterials and Life Sciences and the Green Engineering Program offered by the Department of Engineering andApplied Sciences each have an enrollment capacity of 25 students.
Students enrolled in those programs are required to complete all classes, take examinations, submit reports,
undergo research guidance, and submit their undergraduate thesis in English.
国際的な時代のニーズに応えて、2012年9月より英語コースを正規課程の中に設置しました。
入学定員は、物質生命理工学科（グリーンサイエンスコース）25名、機能創造理工学科（グリーンエンジニアリングコース）25名です。
英語コースの学生は、授業・試験・レポート・研究指導・論文執筆もすべて英語で行い、英語だけで大学を卒業することができます。

recognition, decision-making, and language translation are trained on vast
amounts of data to recognize patterns and make predictions. The downsideof these algorithms is that they require large-scale computing resources
and consume massive amount of electrical power to deliver results. We
are far from developing a green computing technology. Students from theGreen Science Program will find it a challenge to think deeply over thisproblem and contribute towards creating a green computing environment.

22222222222222Studying in Japan at Sophia University allowed me to experience more
about the unique Japanese culture and other cultures worldwide.
Throughout my college life, I was able to meet different people comingfrom diverse backgrounds. As a Green Science student, the international
education system at Sophia University enables me to study the integrated
field of Materials and Life science from a more global and sustainable
perspective. In addition, the classes are small, which facilitates thestudents to engage in more interactive and flexible learning experiences.
Furthermore, students in their junior year can experience the Research

Trial program. This opportunity allows students to conduct research and be
acquainted with a real research environment and other research conductedin different laboratories at the university. Thus, students can make easierdecisions for their graduation research in their senior year. In fact, throughthis research trial opportunity, I found my interest in conducting researchin the biomedical field, especially in therapeutics. Consequently, all theselearning experiences instilled in me a desire to contribute to the bettermentof this world by becoming a scientist and researching therapies to preventand cure diseases from mild to the most severe, like cancer.

KARTER MAKOTOWINGTIM WONG Student (Green Engineering Program)I decided to attend Sophia University because of its international student
population, a smaller campus size, the Green Engineering program,and the enjoyable atmosphere. Sophia university’s international student
population allows me to understand different cultures and different
perspectives from my own. The smaller campus size complements thisby allowing me to be able to meet students with different opinions more
frequently.
The Green Engineering program is a challenging curriculum that guides
students to think of solutions to help solve the environmental problems
that we are faced with today—for example, global warming, renewableenergy, and reducing pollution in our environment. Finally, the overall
atmosphere of the campus was very enjoyable when I visited thecampus during a campus tour.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic and then world going on lockdown, I
was not able to attend classes on campus. However, I am excited toget the opportunity to study at Sophia and experience the atmosphereonce again. My plan after I graduated is to go back to Hawaii anduse the knowledge that I gained while studying at Sophia to help mycommunity generate energy more sustainably and to distribute thatenergy more efficiently.
