The School of Biology and Integrated Sciences was established as the seventh school of NCU in 2018 to study basic science. Basic science elucidates the fundamental principles of the cosmos and nature, and is the foundation of technology. Basic science has played important roles in the development of human society in tandem with applied sciences, such as medical science, pharmaceutical science, engineering and agriculture.
In todayʼs rapidly transforming world, it is critical for students of basic science to study a balance of life science, materials science, mathematics, and information sciences. This broad training provides a big picture view that, when coupled with focused specialization in a specific field, empowers students to make strong contributions to scientific and technical progress. In this school, students first study the broad foundations of basic science related to life science. They then progress to study of specific specialized domains and develop deep understanding, supported by a range of viewpoints and knowledge from across academic disciplines. In addition, the school aims to cultivate human resources capable of problem solving based on flexible thinking, sound logic and a cooperative spirit.
In the future, these human resources will play a central role in such areas as the creation of innovation, regional development from a global perspective, and the science-related education of the next generation. After graduation, graduates can opt to proceed to the Graduate School of Science.
