Applied Chemistry (Master)

The Division of Applied Chemistry sits within the Graduate School of Engineering at Sojo University and trains researchers and advanced engineers in applied chemistry. Study at the master's level covers inorganic, organic and polymer chemistry, reaction engineering, and environmental and analytical chemistry. Work centres on designing and synthesising high-performance functional materials, including pharmaceuticals, purifying them, building environmentally considerate production systems and recycling resources efficiently. Research groups include functional polymer chemistry, where topics range from peptide discovery for drug delivery to nanodevice development. Since the 2009 academic year, faculty from the Faculty of Pharmacy have supervised master's students alongside Nanoscience staff, which links engineering with pharmaceutical science. The division also supports international students, exchange students from partner universities and conference presentations abroad.
