The Faculty of Life and Environmental Scienc-es was established in 1995 and was reorganized in 2018. Our faculty aims to: 1) understand the mechanisms of biological and ecological sys-tems and develop new technologies related to food and medical sciences; 2) apply scientific outcomes to agriculture and forestry; and 3) contribute to local communities, sustainable production systems and environmental preser-vation The undergraduate course offers a systematic pro-gram consisting of lectures, laboratory and field work, and small-group instruction. Labo-ratory and field work foster problem-solving skills and increase understanding of lectures. Small-group classes improve mutual under-standing between students and mentors while facilitating the development of presentation skills. Graduates have found work in private companies, government offices, and high schools. Students who wish to improve their skills can continue their research at the Gradu-ate School of Natural Science and Technology. The faculty currently consists of three depart-ments and an education and research center.and reclamation efforts. 27https://www.life.shimane-u.ac.jp/eng/Faculty ofLife andEnvironmentalSciences
