The basic purpose of education in chemistry is to cultivate chemical experts who play vital roles in modern society.
Chemists play an essential part in improving our life standards by discovering new compositions of substances and broadening our understanding of nature.

[Driving force behind the 21st century's technological advancement]
Chemistry is a fundamental study which is concerned with 'the properties and behavior of matter.' An object of this study, 'matter' does not only mean a reagent seen from a lab, but generally all things surrounding us. Chemists research the properties and behavior of various kinds of matter and discover new compositions of matter, and thereby play a part in broadening our understanding of nature and improving our life standards. Chemistry, which is concerned with atoms and molecules, is being widely applied in other fields such as engineering, pharmacy, and medicine and will be a driving force for the 21st century's technological advancement.

['The era of chemistry' for our future]
How well we understand the substances and energy that are available to us and how appropriately we utilize them in our lives is a crucial matter that can even change the fate of humanity. Chemistry is a process by which to understand correctly the substances and energy surrounding us. As there is a variety of substances and energy available in these times, it has become more important to have extensive knowledge in chemistry. Moreover, how well we understand and apply such knowledge will determine our fate. In that sense, our next generation may remember this time as the era of chemistry.

[Female chemists leading the 21st century]
The Department of Chemistry focuses on educating female scientists in the field of chemistry to meet the scientific demands of the 21st century. To this end, it strives to provide opportunities for various educational courses as well as experiment and practice so that students can increase their intellectual capacity; acquire skills and techniques required in the field of their expertise; realize personal goals in a highly competitive society, and make contributions to society. Moreover, by providing education relating to both pure and applied chemistry in a systematic manner and developing one's ability to adopt in the fields of research and industry, it cultivates female scientists who are creative and have the potential to continuously advance science and technology. In particular, this produces outstanding individuals with field experience in education through joint industrial-academic programs with external research institutes and businesses.
