Dept. of Earth Resource Science

Earth science is the study of various Earth activities such as fossil and mineral formation, volcanic eruptions, seismic activity, tsunamis, tectonic movements, oceanic environmental changes, climate change and the geomagnetic field. These geologic activities are closely linked to important energy resources as well as metal and non-metal resources. The Department of Earth Resource Science provides a detailed understanding of such Earth activities and covers how resources are formed, their distribution and exploration methods. Students start studying a wide range of subjects including humanities and engineering fields soon after enrollment, and develop practical English language skills through the Intensive-English for Academic Purposes program. From the second year onwards, specialized subjects such as earth science are taught in English, while in the third year, students will gain valuable skills through practical training including geological site investigations and the Resource Sciences Fieldwork Abroad Program. Our solid curriculum will help students who have low confidence in their English language skills or knowledge of earth sciences and resources to grow as world-class professionals in those fields by the time they graduate. Many of our graduates are working on the global stage, applying the knowledge and skills they gained during their studies. Why don’t you join our department and aim to become a world-class earth resource science specialist?
