Introduction of each department
Department of Marine Biological Resources
As a specialist engineer engaged in resource management and technological development for the sustainable use of bioresources, elucidating the life functions and biological production mechanisms of a wide variety of organisms inhabiting the ocean, lakes, and rivers. In addition to having specialized knowledge centered on natural sciences such as the physiology and ecology of target organisms, aquaculture, fisheries production and management, etc., they are also interested in food, life, and the environment, and have a strong desire to solve various social problems. train human resources.
Department of Food Production Science
Targeting food resources (foods) including marine resources, as a professional engineer engaged in technological development for the sustainable production, distribution, and consumption of food that is safe, delicious, and has excellent nutritional functions, With a deep understanding of the various reactions that occur from a biological, chemical, and physical perspective, as well as specialized knowledge of related microorganisms, chemical substances, and manufacturing equipment, Cultivate human resources who are highly motivated to solve problems.
Department of Ocean Policy and Culture
As a highly specialized professional responsible for the development of marine industry and culture based on the symbiotic relationship between the sea and people, and the planning of ocean policies for its realization, I am involved in food issues, resource issues, environmental issues, international issues, and regional issues related to the ocean. Develop human resources who possess the specialized knowledge of society, humanities, and natural sciences necessary to structurally understand various problems, and who have a high level of motivation and practical ability to solve these social problems. increase.
