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. This course gives students the skills needed for identifying and solving research problems within science and technology. Many students go on to pursue post-graduate degrees after completion of undergraduate studies. Studying chemistry and materials science prepares students for a variety of careers in industry, government, and academia. Chemists are employed by pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, automotive companies and many other related firms.

Established in the School of Engineering at Tohoku University, our course consists of more than 100 laboratories covering a wide range study fields from fluid dynamics, thermal engineering, materials engineering, nanotechnologies, aerospace engineering, robotics, biomedical engineering, information science, quantum science and energy, to environmental study. Students are provided a world-class educational and research environment to study mechanics engineering and foster the international awareness. This program directly connects to the International Graduate Course (IMAC-G). Students who have finished 4-year undergraduate course are possible to further enroll in IMAC-G, and the high-quality research in the graduate course.

First year students receive instruction and training in a broad range of general and specialized subject areas, including ecology, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, as well as practical laboratory techniques. AMB students are quickly introduced to, and gain broad understanding of, a diversity of marine animal, plant and microbial systems. This forms the basis of a solid four-year experience culminating in an independent research project in one of our seven plus laboratories. This four-year undergraduate program prepares students to conduct leading-edge research in marine biological resources that will have a positive impact on the environment and people around the globe. Many students graduating with a Bachelor of Agriculture decide to enroll in the graduate programs, and often continue to a successful career in Industry, typically food-related. Many also move on to work at marine research institutions both in Japan and abroad.
