The Faculty of Science is a place to probe intellectual inquisitiveness. Here we study in detail the large variety of images in the natural world and from that pursue the natural rules that exist within it. At the Faculty of Science at Shinshu University, based on this scientific philosophy and that of the university, we aim to preserve Shinshu's rich natural environment, its history and culture and the activity of the people. Through intellectual property and enterprise we work to preserve the environment, improving public welfare and provide help in the fostering of industry. By understanding and accepting the variety of nature, culture and thought in the world we aim to educate young people to coexist in this world. While maintaining individuality, we work to educating people with a broad outlook beyond their specialist field, flexible in differing situations. The results of our research are used for the welfare of man, while we maintain responsibility toward the sanctity of the environment. |

Based on both the philosophy of the Faculty of Science and that of Shinshu University, here at the Faculty of Science we hold as our purpose education, research, social contribution and international interchange.
Education
We aim to educate human resources who are constantly intellectually inquisitive and questioning of all spectrums of the natural world. Not only do they hold a deep understanding of their specific field, these well-qualified people also respond flexibly to challenges outside their speciality. Their broad outlook and adaptability make them valuable members of society. By using the outstanding natural environment of Shinshu as an educational resource, we strive to educate our successors who can contribute to scientific advance in harmony with nature.
Research
Based on unwavering intellectual curiosity and an inquisitive mind, using mathematical scientific theory we will work to minutely investigate the rules that lie within the background and phenomenon of the natural world. We aim to promote creative research that contributes to the advancement of mankind, while maintaining a harmonious balance between nature and society that will benefit the continued development of mankind. We will present our accomplishments to the region and the world and build a research environment that allows the successors of the next generation of scientific development to progress into the future.
Social Contribution
We are aware of our role as the intellectual stronghold of the region and work for the preservation of the natural environment of Shinshu, sustaining people's living environment, the advancement of regional industry and involvement in life-long learning. We actively work to contribute to society's sophisticated information technology and internationalization and through close-knit cooperation with both the local community and people in associated fields. The Faculty of Science at Shinshu University to is "open" to society.
International Contribution
By utilizing Shinshu's bountiful natural environment, education and superior research base, we cooperate with researchers from many countries and proactively accept overseas students, working to fulfill our role as the center of Shinshu's international exchange.
