Overview

Key facts

Furthermore, the Department of Biology, Graduate School of Science (Master's and Doctoral Programs) at Kobe University provides specialized education in a wide range of research fields, from molecular biology to ecology, and guides students in acquiring research methods and how to handle literature information.

Biology is an accessible field of study that deals with familiar living things, but it is also a field that attempts to solve one of the most difficult questions for us: "What exactly is life?" There are two main approaches to this question: one that seeks to understand life by knowing the fundamental principles common to all living things, and another that seeks to understand it by knowing the diversity of living things and the relationships between them. Both approaches are important and indispensable for understanding the workings of living things, and modern biology can be seen as developing through the fusion of research results from these different perspectives.
