School of Science
POINT1
Interdisciplinary learning
We have established two departments that transcend conventional academic frameworks, maintaining the foundations of mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and earth sciences, and conduct cutting-edge research with interdisciplinary and diverse thinking.
POINT2
Collaboration with international leading-edge research institutions
We have conducted research in collaboration with state-of-the-art facilities throughout Hyogo Prefecture, including the large synchrotron radiation facility "SPring-8," the X-ray free electron laser facility "SACLA," and the telescope "Nayuta."
POINT３
Unraveling the scientific mysteries that surround us
We nurture human resources who will break new scientific ground and lead society by pursuing the origins and essence of natural and biological phenomena.
Department and Course
Department of Material Science
Fundamental Condensed Matter Course
The aim of the course is to understand the various physical properties of matter at the molecular and atomic level, and to acquire methods to theoretically and experimentally pursue the search for physical properties. Based on quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, students study the fundamentals and applications of mathematics and physics to understand the behavior of atoms, molecules and their aggregates.
Condensed Matter Course
The aim of this course is to understand the rich diversity of properties of matter at the electronic and atomic level, and to acquire methods for elucidating them theoretically and experimentally. As in the Fundamentals Condensed Matter Course, students learn the scientific principles for elucidating the physical properties of the materials we see around us, based on quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.
Material Course
The aim of this course is to understand the various physical properties of matter at the electronic and atomic level and to master the methods of creating matter. Students learn the fundamentals and applications of chemistry-related fields, understand the relationship between the properties and functions of substances and their composition and structure from a chemical perspective, and acquire the ability to create new substances.
Department of Life Science
Biological Matter Course
In order to understand the function of biomolecules in biological activities, the course aims to master methods to elucidate the function of biomolecules in cells and the structure and function of biomolecules from a physico-chemical point of view. The course is highly interdisciplinary, with students systematically taking courses in mathematics, basic physics, biophysics, biochemistry, and so forth.
Biomolecular Course
Life phenomena are analyzed primarily by chemical methods and understood in the language of chemistry. In order to understand life phenomena at the molecular, cellular and even individual level, students systematically study organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics and cell structure.
Cellular Course
The aim of this course is to master methods for investigating differentiation, development and individual morphogenesis in the cell, the smallest unit of life, using cell physiology methods. The course is based on genetics, cell physiology and cell structure, but is also closely related to subjects such as microbiology and biophysics.
