"A world to grow your potential"　Teacher, Toin Gakuen High School; 1999 graduate　 　　

　 What a wonderful university! In the four years I spent at the University of Tsukuba, I learned countless things. From the first day, our academic world and daily life activities expanded greatly. The campus is one of the most beautiful in the world, and is well-equipped with research facilities and laboratories, but what I find most attractive about University of Tsukuba is its students. All are working together to accomplish their individual dreams and objectives, with a clear purpose in mind. There are many opportunities to communicate with foreigners, and I received my German language credits through a short-term exchange program in Germany. Tsukuba is open to the world. You will not only acquire knowledge, but have the opportunity to expand your creativity, your skills, and your chances.

"The expanding world of chemistry"　Toyo Ink Tsukuba Research Laboratory; 1995 graduate

I develop photo-functional materials at a corporate research and development center. Things often don't go as planned, but I use the chemistry skills I learned at university and reach creative solutions, so it is very satisfying. However, I didn't like chemistry very much at high school, Chemistry, it seemed, was a subject with too many things to memorize compared to math or physics. You might have the same impression. You'll change your mind once you study chemistry at university. Knowledge in chemistry is useless if it is just memorized, and it only comes alive when you understand it. High school chemistry is only a small part. Come see the limitless world of chemistry, and fulfill your ambitions and curiosities.

"Exerting your limitless creativity"　　University of Tsukuba Institute of Chemistry associate professor; 1978 graduate 　

The moment you become attracted to chemistry is when you are conducting an experiment knowing what will happen, and are suddenly confronted with results that you never expected. The discovery may be tiny, but it is enough to make you excited. The surprise of seeing something unknown, and the joy of understanding its true nature, are the feelings that make chemistry attractive. Chemistry stands at the core of sciences of materials, life, and environment, and has a comprehensive color. Energy issues, environmental concerns, and other problems of the 21st century are in the hands of creative chemistry researchers. It takes about a day to walk around the campus. In this beautiful atmosphere, I am sure that you will find a place to exert your unlimited creative potential.
