"To enjoy freedom of choice" Zoshinkai Publishers; 2000 graduate $B!!(B

$B!!(B When I was preparing for the university entrance exams, I was not sure if I wanted to study mathematics or physics, and I wanted to decide after taking some courses in university if possible. That is why I chose the College of Natural Sciences. In the first year, we are not classified by major, so we attend lectures in all four fields of physics, mathematics, chemistry, and geosciences. This helps us decide what we want to work on as our field of major in the second year. In the end to choose physics from the second year, but because the Tsukuba University system allows you to take subjects quite freely, I took courses of other Colleges in between my physics course subjects. It was hard work to understand those courses in physics, but if I became lost I could go to my teaching assistant, a graduate school student. I spent a very satisfying time at Tsukuba University, taking full advantage of the good environment and facilities offered there.

"Increasing opportunities for achievement"  Researcher at Hitachi Mechanical Engineering Research Laboratory; 1981 graduate $B!!(B

$B!!(BI was part of the fourth batch of graduates from the College of Natural Sciences, and joined a company research center.. As technology becomes more complicated and sophisticated, it becomes necessary to accurately confirm the phenomena at the micro level, and chances for scientists in the natural science field are increasing. Now that we must seriously seek a way to coexist with nature, there is a reverse trend in trying to understand nature from the macro level of natural sciences. The future of humankind depends on whether we can accurately grasp nature as a whole. The campus spreads out at the center of the international science city. Facilities are good, and the teachers attentive. It is the best place to sprout new buds. Please try growing your opportunities at the College of Natural Sciences.

"The never-ending wonders of natural science" Associate professor at Center for Computational Sciences, University of Tsukuba; 1980 graduate $B!!(B

$B!!(BThe College of Natural Sciences targets basically all laws of movement found in the universe for its research. The universe is infinitely spread, and so there is an infinite number of targets for investigation. I encourage students to first become confident in the basic theories, the natural theories that are already evident. Then comes the time for ideas and creativity. Take full advantage of the basics you have acquired to search for the laws of nature. I used to debate physics theories through the night with my teachers and friends, so that I could understand them. As a student, I was so excited to get ahead and discover the limitless universes awaiting us. You will never stop being curious as a student of natural sciences. We are waiting to meet youthful people full of eagerness curiosity.
