Laboratories
In the fourth year, students belong to one of the following laboratories as they conduct their graduation research. If you wish to conduct more specialized research, you can go on to a graduate school after graduation. There are other laboratories in the graduate school. For more information about entrance examinations and other details, please see the website of the Master’s/Doctoral Program in Chemistry, Graduate School of University of Tsukuba.
