On May 15, 2025, the Faculty of Science guidance for second-year students in the College of Arts and Sciences was held face-to-face in Room 900, Komaba. This guidance is an important event for students in their second year at Komaba to decide their career path. Although the number of participants was 160, about 50 less than the previous year's total, the venue was filled with many students.
At the beginning of the event, Mr. Shinichi Okoshi, Graduate School Dean and General Manager of the Faculty of Science, gave a speech. He spoke about the appeal of studying at the Faculty of Science and exploring the natural sciences, including the appeal of basic science that approaches the mysteries of the natural world, the connection between scientific research and society, and leading efforts toward internationalization. Next, the author gave an overview of the Faculty of Science's teaching affairs, including the educational environment, internationalization efforts, student support system, selection of higher education, and career paths after graduation. Next, Mr. Satoshi Ide, Director of the Career Support Office, explained that advancement to the Faculty of Science is very useful in planning one's future, that job hunting activities are going well, and that the Science and Engineering Cooperative Employment Counseling Office is functioning well.
Next, the heads of the 10 departments in the Faculty of Science and their deputy professors gave five-minute introductions of their departments. The students listened to the passionate speeches about the attractiveness of each Department from various angles, as if they were being drawn into the conversation. From May 16 to 22, individual guidance sessions were held for each Department, and many students participated.
We hope that many highly motivated students will apply for admission to the Faculty of Science again this year.
