The School of Science and Technology' s basic creed is "Conduct education and research into the basic principles and applications of natural science in order to contribute to human progress." Our goal is to develop internationally-minded scientists with the initiative and creativity to pioneer in undiscovered, cutting-edge fields in an age when human progress and changes are occurring at a lightning pace. The School continues to teach in the small classes that have been the norm ever since its establishment. By emphasizing hands-on lessons that encompass experiments, practical exercises, and graduate research, the School trains students to find and solve problems for themselves. It also offers a wealth of English-language and other courses necessary to produce graduates capable of getting the job done in an international setting. With government research funding among the highest in Japan, the school offers an ideal environment for researchers.
