Curriculum
Curriculum Policy of Biosciences Major
The purpose of this major is to nurture individuals with a creative mind to solve the scientific and social problems of modern times. It focuses on four interdisciplinary fields of science as educational and research targets: namely, biomolecular sciences, cellular biosciences, bioinformation sciences, and functional biosciences.
Master's Degree Program
The master's program consists of four interdisciplinary areas.
The curriculum consists of the following:
The curriculum consists of the following:
| Biomolecular sciences | Understanding biomolecular construction and motion principles with molecular interpretation and learning methods to study new structures and motion mechanisms |
|---|---|
| Cellular biosciences | Understanding the processes from gene expression in cells through to the cell fate determination at the molecular level and acquire study methods |
| Bioinformation sciences | Cultivating the ability to collect and formalize information that is necessary to solve problems in order to create problem-solving methods, and the ability to develop methods for obtaining new biological information |
| Functional biosciences | Understanding biological functions such as recognition of and response to external information at the molecular level and acquiring study methods |
Doctoral Degree Program
The doctoral program consists of a capacity-building course and a research guidance course. These curriculums will
train students in the following:
train students in the following:
- Develop a holistic view of life sciences in general without being bound by narrow research fields.
- Acquire methods and ways of thinking in a life science field that is not their major research field in order to foster originality.
- Develop the ability to think deeply and pursue answers.
- Develop the ability to write theses and give presentations in English.
