StudyQA — Master: Chemical Science and Engineering

Description Contents Requirements Funding

Students will gain experience utilizing highly specialized knowledge and skills, which will give them the ability to solve advanced problems in applied chemistry. Our aim is to produce researchers and engineers who are aware of their social and environmental responsibilities, and highly skilled professionals who open new industries and civilizations.

The Master's Program develops independent chemistry researchers and engineers who understand the basic properties and responsiveness of substances at atomic and molecular levels; master advanced chemical engineering systems that convert substances to more useful materials such as polymers; can resolve advanced problems in various fields based on their expertise; and can use their leadership skills to be successful in a global arena.

Building on the basic knowledge of applied molecular chemistry, chemical system engineering, and polymer science learned in the Undergraduate Program, students systematically learn advanced knowledge and techniques based on the latest research in each developing field. In addition, students' expertise and creativity are developed further by broadening their knowledge and techniques through Research-Related Courses and by conducting research through Research Seminars and master's thesis research.
