Entrance Examination of Division of Environmental Materials Science
We continue chemistry-based research approaching environmental issues from basic and applied perspectives. Several interdisciplinary and boundary-disciplinary studies are also conducted. Therefore, our division accepts applicants who are motivated to join research in both chemistry and chemistry-related interdisciplinary fields. In the autumn and spring entrance examinations, the applicants are selected by two different perspectives; Basic-chemistry selection and self-recommendation selection. Applicants are able to apply for both.
