Bachelor in Chemistry Program(G30)

Situated in Japan's Tokai region, Nagoya University offers the Chemistry Program (G30), an English-taught bachelor's degree based at its Aichi campus. The university describes its academic culture as free and vigorous, crediting this approach with producing research results and graduates who go on to contribute to society. This undergraduate program spans four years, with a single intake each October. Chemistry undergraduate study typically introduces students to the discipline's core subfields, including organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry, alongside extensive laboratory training. Early coursework generally establishes a foundation in general chemistry principles, which students then build on with more specialized topics such as reaction mechanisms, spectroscopic analysis, and the chemistry of materials. Hands-on laboratory work runs throughout the degree, giving students direct experience with chemical instrumentation, safety protocols, and experimental design, complemented by coursework in mathematics and physics that supports quantitative reasoning in chemistry. Students who complete a chemistry degree can move into further graduate study, roles in pharmaceutical and materials-related industries, chemical manufacturing and quality assurance positions, or research work in academic and government laboratories. The four-year structure allows students to progress from foundational chemistry courses to more independent laboratory and project work by the later years. Based in Aichi, a prefecture recognized for its manufacturing and industrial activity, chemistry students in this program are situated near industries where chemical and materials engineering play a significant practical role.
