Bachelors in Life Sciences in Nonoichi Japan

The subject of Food Science is that everyday item of ‘food’. The food industry increasingly attracts attention for food safety and other issues, so our objective is to nurture individuals who can be active in this industry. For this purpose, using the latest technologies such as biotechnology, developments are made in the areas of food processing, storage, and distribution technologies. Furthermore, students gain an understanding of the safety and functionality of food and engage in learning and research related to the maintenance and promotion of health through food and on systems that supply safe and plentiful food. In order to obtain knowledge and learn about the technologies related to ‘food’, which involves various aspects such as manufacturing, processing, and distribution technologies and methods from the molecular level as well as nutrition and hygiene problems, students are involved in lectures and experiments, in addition to training at production plants and food-related companies. -

The Department of Bioproduction Science aims to nurture individuals who will contribute to the development of new production technologies using bioresources and those who will become leaders in the agricultural production field. Students learn about plants and animals that are deeply connected with their lives. With a broad understanding of the characteristics of these bioresources from the population/individual level to the cellular/molecular/genetic level, students engage in learning and research for the development of production technologies utilizing the latest scientific techniques such as biotechnology. As part of the curriculum, students study plants and animals from a basic to an application level, as well as about improvement of production efficiency (including systematization), management of resources, and agricultural economics/management problems. In addition, the curriculum contains practical subjects involving experiments and analysis techniques, as well as a number of practicums held at testing and research organizations (such as the Agricultural Research Center) and agricultural production sites. -
