Kanagawa University plans to establish "Faculty of Chemistry and Life Sciences" and "Faculty of Informatics" in April 2023, and to establish departments in existing faculties of science and engineering. It will be a five-faculty system consisting of the Faculty of Chemistry and Life Sciences (scheduled to be opened in April 4 / planned to be installed) and the Faculty of Informatics (scheduled to be opened in April 2022 / planned to be installed).

 The reorganization plan of the Faculty of Science and Technology corresponds to the most important goal in the "Medium-term plan (2020-2024) *" of Kanagawa University, "Building an educational organization with an eye on social changes" suitable for a base of knowledge in a new era. From a global perspective, it is logical and scientific for the realization of Society 5.0, response to climate change, global problem solving, regional revitalization, and the realization of smart cities. The purpose is to train science and engineering human resources who can think about it.

 With the relocation of the Faculty of Science to the Yokohama Campus in April 2023, we will take advantage of the science and engineering education organization at the national university in the area "Yokohama", which has both history and innovation. "Faculty of Chemistry and Life Sciences" and "Faculty of Informatics" have been established as new faculties in order to lead to the realization of SDGs.Furthermore, we are planning to shift the Faculty of Science to a one-department system (establishment of the "Department of Science") and to establish a new "Department of Applied Physics" in the Faculty of Engineering.

 The faculty structure is divided into fields with similar basic expertise, with the aim of further enhancing science and engineering education and research.The "Faculty of Science" that unravels all the "why" of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and the natural world, the "Faculty of Engineering" that contributes to life and the global environment by creating things, systems, and services, and people from all perspectives, not just buildings. "Faculty of Architecture (opened in April 2022)" to design life more affluently, enjoyably and comfortably, "Faculty of Chemistry and Life Sciences (opened in April 4)" to create things that are friendly to the environment and people by applying chemistry and biology "Scheduled / planned to be set up"), "Faculty of Informatics (scheduled to open in April 2023 / planned to be set up)" to build the mechanism of the information society and create the future, and reorganize into the above five faculties.

 In addition, the "Spring Open Campus" will be held in mid-March 2022, both on-site and online.We are planning various events such as a laboratory tour of the new Faculty of Science and Engineering.Details can be found on the homepage.

* The Kanagawa University Medium-Term Plan (2020-2024) aims to reform the educational organization and improve the educational and research environment based on the establishment of academic management, promotion of internationalization and diversity, and efforts for SDGs.The most important items are "building an educational organization with an eye on social changes" and "improving the educational and research environment in response to changes in the times", which are suitable as a base of knowledge for a new era. Following the opening of the "Faculty of International Japanese Studies" in April 2020, the "Minato Mirai Campus" in April 4, and the "Faculty of Architecture" in April 2021, the science and engineering system was triggered by the relocation of the Faculty of Science to the Yokohama Campus in April 4. As a reorganization of the educational organization, we are planning to establish a new faculty / department.
