(D) In addition to the ability to logically explain research results and write academic papers, students must have acquired the communication and language skills necessary to be active in an international setting.

Curriculum Policy of Department of Applied Chemistry (Doctoral Program)

(1) Curriculum organization policy
Department of Applied Chemistry (Doctoral Program) has organized a curriculum that covers a wide range of academic fields related to chemistry and materials science in order to acquire the competencies set forth in the Diploma Policy, along with a curriculum that leads to the cultivation of interdisciplinarity. In addition, due to the nature of chemistry, practical education through research activities is emphasized. Particular emphasis is placed on innovation through the pursuit of academic theory, and practical education and research that can create value in the new era. In order to acquire the academic knowledge and ethics required for cutting-edge research and technological development in chemistry and materials science, the group of courses that teach more advanced content centered on chemistry as a form of development of the knowledge cultivated in the master's program [Perspectives (A) and (B)], the ability to set and solve problems necessary to discover the ubiquitous unsolved problems in society and take a leading role from an academic and industrial perspective to solve them, and courses [Perspective (B) and (C)] to acquire a multifaceted perspective through practical activities, and Perspective (D)] to develop information dissemination skills and internationality.

(2) Policy on the content of education and how to implement education
In Department of Applied Chemistry, we emphasize the pursuit of academic theories and the development of innovation in chemistry, and we are required to submit a dissertation to evaluate the results of the creation of new value, consideration, and logical development under correct ethics. In addition, courses [Perspective (A)] are offered to acquire systematic basic knowledge in chemistry and related fields, as well as specialized and developmental courses [Perspective (B)] to deepen them. In addition, students will learn about the pursuit of academic theory and the development of innovation from an academic and industrial perspective through cutting-edge research and development cases, and establish "Advanced Applied Chemistry Research" to practice from research project planning to thesis writing. In addition, in order to gain a bird's-eye view of chemistry regardless of expertise and to acquire interdisciplinary research methods that transcend specialized fields, we offer "Applied Chemistry Seminars," "Internships," and "On-campus Internships" that incorporate multifaceted practical active learning through collaborative work. In addition, "Applied Chemistry Research Presentation Practice" to develop the ability to present research results logically, and "International Communication" to develop the ability to disseminate information in English and the ability to create logical scientific and technological documents are placed [Perspective (D)].

③ Policy regarding methods for evaluating learning outcomes
In order to cultivate engineers and researchers who have acquired the skills required by the Diploma Policy, grades are evaluated through exams and reports for lectures, and through reports and oral exams for experiments, practical training, and seminars. Course grades are expressed using five grades: S, A, B, C, and D, with S, A, B, and C being considered passes and D being considered a fail. Those who pass are awarded the required credits. In addition, for dissertations, the examination criteria and methods are clearly stated, and the dissertation and final examination are conducted rigorously by the Dissertation Examination Committee based on these criteria.
