Aiming to be a teacher while balancing softball and academics

There are two points that I recommend the Department of Applied Chemistry First of all, in the first year class, the class starts from the review of high school. I myself had some anxieties within the scope of high school science, but I was able to relearn from the basics of each field, so I was able to tackle the experiments from autumn without any anxiety. The second is that there is a teaching profession course to obtain a science teacher's license. Department of Applied Chemistry of Applied Chemistry, you can aim to become a science teacher by taking classes in the teaching profession in addition to the classes in the department. In the monthly teaching community, there is a place for students who want to become teachers from the 1st to the 4th year to exchange opinions, so they can aim to obtain a license while mutually enhancing each other. In addition, there was a freshman workshop in April of the first year, and even I, a shy person, became friends with many people. I currently belong to the softball club, and I am living a university life in parallel with studying the teaching profession, lectures in the department, and club activities. There are not many students in the Department of Applied Chemistry The science department may have a difficult image of experiments and report writing, but if you have friends who are working hard together in club activities, you can encourage each other and have a fun and very fulfilling university life. If you are interested in chemistry, please come to the Department of Applied Chemistry Why don't you enjoy your university life together while studying chemistry and enjoying what you want to do?

Learn chemistry while aiming for the world's biggest stage

When I was in high school, I found difficult lessons interesting as I studied chemistry, and I wanted to contribute to society through chemistry in the future, which is why I chose the Department of Applied Chemistry I wasn't very good at chemistry, but I enjoy learning with a curriculum that allows me to learn from the basics. On the other hand, I am also working on surfing, which was selected as an official event of the Tokyo Olympics, and I am doing my best to be compatible with my studies. Department of Applied Chemistry of Applied Chemistry, there are many other students who are actively engaged in extracurricular activities such as activities through freestyle football. Department of Applied Chemistry they are friendly, and they are kind-hearted teachers who support me more than anyone else when I go to the game. It helps you to balance your studies, such as creating an environment where you can easily challenge the game. In addition, there are many international students, and I think that I can make friends with people from various countries and experience a world I have never experienced before. There are many things that I find difficult, such as experimental reports, but I think that the joy and sense of accomplishment when I can clear the tasks while helping each other with my friends can be enjoyed only in college life, and it will be very useful when I advance to society in the future. I will. Currently, I would like to learn chemistry while working on surfing for the Tokyo Olympics, and after graduating, I would like to go on to become an athlete employee. It may be difficult, but I think it will open the way unless you give up. And if you take what you want to do seriously, you will definitely succeed. If you are crazy about sports, please come to the Department of Applied Chemistry Would you like to live a college life together?

A fulfilling four years of supporting each other and obtaining a teacher's license

I entered the Department of Applied Chemistry from the perspective of using chemistry from a broad perspective of engineering, thinking about applied research, and obtaining a teacher's license. In order to obtain a teacher's license, it was difficult to take classes in the department and classes specialized in the teaching profession. However, in the Department of Applied Chemistry, there is a place where students who have obtained a teacher's license gather and exchange information, so it is easy to consult with Campus Life and classes, and it was possible to lead Campus Life It was. Thanks to them, I was able to have an experience that was difficult to obtain in the educational training conducted in the 4th year. In addition, in the Department of Applied Chemistry we will be assigned to a laboratory in the latter half of the third year. I have been conducting research applying polymer fine particles under Associate Professor My research life Campus Life and I was busy with research, seminars, and conference presentations. In order to achieve the purpose of my research, I was able to spend my days happily with the support of my instructor, other members of the same group, and my juniors.

Department that can transform many "interests"

When I was in high school, I went to the Department of Applied Chemistry because I wanted to see and shape "chemistry" that is only mentioned in textbooks. Since we have been conducting experiments since the first year, we can learn specialized knowledge not only by lectures but also by moving our hands, so we can see it with our eyes, feel it with our skin, and deepen our understanding. In addition, you can learn a wide range of chemical fields such as organic, inorganic, and chemical engineering. Each learning content was carefully structured so that it would be useful to society in the future, and I enjoyed learning a variety of knowledge. Since the teachers also have a close relationship with the students, they will feel free to ask questions if they have any questions and will guide them carefully until they understand them, so there is no need to worry about lagging behind in learning. Department of Applied Chemistry, I was able to spend fulfilling days in outdoor activities by having various "interests" and taking the initiative. When you go up to the 4th year, "research" that allows you to put your thoughts into shape will finally begin. Since it is an unknown world that no one has seen, I have been trained to think more positively, exchange discussions, and act. When the results of your own thoughts and experiments are scientifically grounded and visible, you create an irreplaceable uplifting feeling. Campus Life where you can get to know a lot of interests and take on a wide range of challenges throughout the four years. University is a really free place. It will not give you anything unless you take the initiative. However, if you can take the first step, you will definitely get a lot of money. Believe in the "interest" that you feel in your heart, and try as much as you want to do what you want to do. There are countless objects of "interest" in the Department of Applied Chemistry You will surely find a moving "interest".
