Educational Philosophy

The Faculty of Applied Biological Sciences is committed to fostering individuals who are dedicated to contributing to the advancement of society through the practical application of scholarly knowledge in the field of applied biological sciences. This encompasses a wide range of domains, including the development of bio-industries, sustainable biological production systems, ecosystem conservation--including human habitat--and the promotion of harmonious coexistence between humans and animals.

To fulfill this mission, the Faculty seeks students who possess not only a solid foundation in academic knowledge and skills required for university-level education, but also critical faculties such as logical reasoning, sound judgment, effective communication, intellectual curiosity, respect for diversity, and collaborative spirit. These attributes are evaluated through a comprehensive admissions process. Students who demonstrate strong academic motivation and the capacity to engage rigorously with the curricula of the Faculty's four departments may be admitted to one of our departments:

Department of Applied Bioscience and Chemistry
Department of Food and Agricultural Science
Department of Biosphere and Environmental Sciences
Joint Department of Veterinary Medicine

I. Educational Objectives

The Faculty pursues the advancement of life sciences, biological sciences, and environmental biological sciences, along with the development of related technologies. Its ultimate objective is to translate these academic and technological achievements into practice, thereby addressing critical issues in bio-industrial development, sustainable biological production, ecological preservation and restoration, and the interrelationship between humans and animals.

In accordance with this vision, the Faculty confers the degree of Bachelor upon students who have acquired a comprehensive and integrative body of knowledge in applied biological sciences and who exhibit the following competencies:

a. A well-developed ethical consciousness, enabling sincere and responsible engagement with professional and societal challenges.

b. The capacity to independently identify emerging societal issues and respond with initiative and discernment.

c. An acute awareness of one's role within society and the ability to collaborate constructively with others.

d. Mastery of the theoretical and technological foundations of applied biological sciences, with the competence to apply such knowledge to a diverse array of practical fields including bio-industrial innovation, sustainable biological systems, and the ecological and social dimensions of coexistence between species.

e. The ability to make judicious and integrative decisions grounded in broad perspectives, interdisciplinary expertise, and varied experiential learning.

f. Proficiency in articulating one's ideas, analyses, and decisions with precision and appropriateness across a range of communicative contexts.

II. Research Objectives

Through original, advanced research, we pursue knowledge and endeavor improve bioproduction capacity and development of new techniques in bioproduction, conservation and utilization of bioresources, restoration and preservation of the natural environment, and advancement of life sciences.

III. Social Contributions

As a regional base for studies in applied biological sciences, we strive to contribute to the development of agriculture and bioindustry, to the conservation of nature and the environment in which we live, and to the improvement of the health of the region's residents.
Through education, research, and international exchange - particularly with other Asian countries - we hope to contribute to the development of world peace.

IV. Basic Policies of Faculty Management

We value academic freedom and autonomous research, and we strive for development of education and research through faculty participation in administration and management.
Through constant self-evaluation as well as positive reception of outside opinions and assessment of education, research, and administrative and managerial activities, we strive to maintain a publicly open and responsible faculty.
We regard education of our students highly, and we strive to provide a comfortable study environment.
