Environmental Science

In the Department of Environmental Science, students receive education and conduct research in order to create an environment in which humans and nature can co-exist. We aim to nurture individuals who can contribute to creating a comfortable local community that is safe and inviting.

With a base of knowledge related to land, water and air, students gain an understanding of the connections between human activities and the environment/ecosystems, and focus their study on the theory and technology necessary for providing for both production and living environments, while protecting the natural environment.

To give students the best chance of future success, we have a comprehensive program of subjects involving experiments and practicums relating to the environment. We also provide numerous opportunities to learn in various environments away from the university. Students can then learn and experience in real-life environments, to really learn about what ‘environment’ means.

Ishikawa Prefectural University is still a relatively young university 9 years since its establishment. Nevertheless, it has already been making considerable achievements on both the educational and research fronts. This is also evident in the university website, which, following its redesign in November last year, has become even further improved this academic year. It contains information on the teaching staff, including lists of accomplishments reflecting their research activities.

Ishikawa Prefectural University consists of a single faculty known as the Faculty of Bioresources and Environmental Sciences. We are conducting education and research with the mission of developing applied technology and exploring the principle of putting bioresources to use while seeking harmony between people and the environment. The three departments that the faculty is comprised of - Bioproduction Science, Environmental Science, and Food Science - are all grounded in bioscience, biotechnology, or agriculture, and enable academic research and student education to be undertaken. Research and education are intended to involve initiatives towards solving local issues with local people, placing importance on interactions within the university as well as those within the community.

Education and research conducted in our Graduate School further enhance the quest for truth in such disciplines, as well as their subsequent practical application, cultivating people capable of contributing to the welfare of mankind. The education, research, and regional contribution of our Graduate School speak for themselves.
