Department of Chemistry
Chemistry is one of the broadest scientific fields dealing with the structures,
properties, and transformation of matter from the view of electrons, atoms
and molecules. Chemistry can intensively contribute to recent nanoscience
and nanotechnology. Chemistry is situated in the center of natural science,
being closely associated with physics, biology, materials science, computer
science, and medical science. Although chemistry is based on the microscopic
science, the fields of application of chemistry range from biological reactions
to industrial processes, having devoted to support human society. Thus,
development of chemistry is intensively requested in modern society. Department
of Chemistry covers the fundamental education and research fields of chemistry
in order to contribute future development of human society.
The Department of Chemistry has three divisions: Physical Chemistry, Material
Chemistry, and Biochemistry . Each division is divided into several taught
and research courses. The Physical Chemistry has three subcourses of Quantum
Chemistry, Nanostructured Molecular Chemistry, and Condensed Matter Chemistry.
The Material Chemistry consists of four subcourses of Chemical Reaction,
Organoelement Chemistry, Fundamental Organic Chemistry, and Coordination
Chemistry. Bio-organic Chemistry, Chemistry of Biological Macromolecules,
and Chemistry of Biological Function are the subcourses of the Biochemistry
division.
Curriculum
Fundamental lectures and experiments are offered to first and second year
students. Advanced lectures and experiments are given to the third year
students. All senior students engage in research work organized by their
professors. After graduation, many students enter the Graduate School of
Science and Technology of Chiba University which offers Master and Doctor
programs to learn advanced chemistry through attractive research activities.
