Chemistry consists of two courses, Fundamental Chemistry and Interdisciplinary Chemistry, and offers excellent programs in inorganic, organic, physical, macromolecular, biological, theoretical, and computational chemistry. The department has faculty renowned in these fields. Sharing their excitement about chemistry, all of the faculty members are committed to both research and teaching. About 30 students are engaged in the pre-doctoral programs, and research in the laboratories equipped with modern instrumentation while attending classes on many areas of expertise within chemistry. Appropriate size and intimate atmosphere of the department lead to close interaction between faculty and students, thereby supporting not only the highest quality of education and research activities but intellectual and social life as well. Students who also want to study other fields of science such as biology, physics, and computer science can take those classes in view of these interdisciplinary approaches.

Course of Fundamental Chemistry
This course deals with the fundamental and frontier subjects in inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. It offers research programs in structural chemistry, chemical reactions, organic and inorganic syntheses, molecular dynamics, and physical chemistry of solutions. A wide variety of compounds such as metal complexes, organic heterocycles, liquid crystals and biopolymers are targeted for research in this course both experimentally and theoretically.

Course of Interdisciplinary Chemistry
This course covers extensive fields of chemistry that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries: coordination chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, biological chemistry, macromolecular chemistry, quantum chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. Synthetic, kinetic, genetic, and physicochemical approaches are adopted to analyze the structure of complex molecules, elucidate reaction mechanisms in biological systems, and develop novel functional molecules and materials.
