Educational Goal and Three Policies of the Biology Program

Educational Goal

Our Educational Philosophy focuses on the following two points.

(1) develop human resources who have a broad knowledge in biology and technology application skills and who will be able to play a key role in a wide range of fields, and
(2) nurture human resources who will contribute, in local and international communities, to the development of science and technology.

In order to put this Philosophy into practice, we aim to produce, through our education and research, professionals who commit to our Educational Philosophy.

The General Selection (written examination) will conduct an examination on the specialized subject and a foreign language (English), and an interview.

Recommendation Special Selection evaluates applicants’ knowledge/ability related to the specialized field of biology and aptitude/motivation through an interview including an oral examination. These abilities are necessary to achieve the status of the sort of human resource described in the Educational Goals.
