Master in Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

For humanity to endure, we will need advanced material conversion technologies to enrich our lives; promote the biotechnology required in the life science, pharmaceuticals, and foodstuff sectors; develop environmentally friendly materials, resource, and energy-saving technologies; and devise the environmental systems required for coexistence with natural ecosystems. This program trains engineers and researchers to handle the challenges of interdisciplinary fields that are even more advanced than the usually specialized fields so that they can use their grounding in chemistry to provide solutions related to these vital issues.

Kogakuin University was initially founded in 1887 as Koshu Gakko by Koki Watanabe. It was the first private engineering school established in Japan to train engineers who would be prepared to work on the front lines of the industries that were needed for promoting Japan's modernization. This initial vision of cultivating engineers who are work-ready for the industrial world remains intact at the university to this day.

Kogakuin aims to maintain an atmosphere that promotes the highest educational standards as well as encouraging passion and motivation within its students. In order to ensure this, Kogakuin University concentrates its efforts on fostering cooperation among the different departments and faculties so as to provide a curriculum that promotes a systematic course of study in each department. Thus, each faculty at Kogakuin offers an array of lecture courses, lab courses, and training seminars in both general education and specialized subjects. This ensures that upon graduation the students are prepared to function in their fields of expertise and contribute to society.
