Faculty of Science Guidance 2021 Implementation Report
Atsushi Kawakita (Head of Department / Professor, Department of Biological Sciences)
On Friday, April 23, 2021, the College of Arts and Sciences held a Faculty of Science general guidance for second-year students in the College of Arts and Sciences. It was held online as in the previous year.
Greetings by Dean Masahiro Hoshino, Faculty of Science
First, Mr. Masahiro Hoshino, Dean of the Faculty of Science, gave a speech in which he spoke passionately about the joys of science and its contribution to society. Then, the author explained the characteristics of education in the Faculty of Science and its internationalization efforts. Next, Mr. Yoshio Takahashi, Director of the Career Support Office, explained that the School of Science and Graduate School of Science provide excellent career support and that the employment rate is almost 100%, including for those who have completed the doctoral course. Next, the heads of the 10 departments in the Faculty of Science gave a 5-minute introduction of their departments. The presentations were fascinating and filled with the thoughts of the professors about their respective fields.
Last year, the event was held online for the first time, and about 700 students accessed the site, but the number of participants this year was about 300. Although the number of participants was lower than last year, the number of participants was about 250 until the year before last when it was held at the Komaba campus, so it seems that students were able to participate more easily by holding the seminar online. The online guidance was also open to the public for a certain period of time after the guidance, which made it possible to convey the attractiveness of the Faculty of Science to even more students.
From April 26 (Monday) to May 6 (Thursday), guidance for individual Departments was held, which was also a great success as usual.
We hope that many talented students will apply for admission to the Faculty of Science again this year.
