Chemistry is the Central Science

Chemistry is one of important natural sciences, and has two aspects to shed light on nature and to design and synthesis of new materials.

The mission of the Chemistry Course, Ibaraki University is to offer high quality undergraduate and graduate education in the scientific disciplines of chemistry.
Graduates of BS programs are educated members of society who will be able to contribute to the economic and social well-being of our nation with discipline of chemistry, or can be trained more at a graduate school. Students armed with MS, and PhD degrees from our school will be able to cope with rapidly changing technology as well as yet to be discovered advances in basic science of the 21st century. We expect our students will become leaders in a variety of fields in our society.

We have 14 faculty members. Research is an integral part of the college's graduate training and provides opportunities to generate new knowledge and acquire state-of-the-art investigative techniques.
