The AMC course is an international undergraduate course in chemistry. It was established in 2011 under Global 30 Future Global Leadership program of Tohoku University. It is a fundamental chemistry course with an emphasis on materials science. The curriculum of the course offers students education and research training in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, polymer chemistry, biochemistry, and materials chemistry. The AMC course is designed to train future leaders in the field of materials science, which is playing an increasing role in the development of new technologies. In particular, the AMC course gives skills needed for identifying and solving research problems within science and technology. Lectures and laboratory classes are taught by faculty members in the Department of Chemistry and affiliated materials research institutes (IMR, IMRAM, WPI-AIMR). The international character of the AMC course and its comprehensive curriculum will prepare students for global leadership roles in both academia and industry.

The AMC course is a 4-year bachelor course. It offers students training in the fundamental areas of chemistry, i.e., organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. In the first year, students are taught general science subjects and Japanese language. In the second year, general chemistry courses and general science laboratory classes are provided. In the third year, students can take electives on advanced topics in chemistry, start chemistry laboratory classes and engage in research projects under the direction of a faculty member by joining one of the research laboratories. In the fourth year, students continue work on their research project and prepare their graduation thesis.
