1. Special Program of “Engineering Science 21st Century”
Contents of Study
The Graduate School of Engineering Science aims to acquire a strong international reputation through increased exchange ofstudents and researchers, and in joint research projects. For this objective, the Graduate School of Engineering Science has decided
to offer a new interdisciplinary program in which all lectures, as well as all instructions and supervision in research-related
activities and seminars, are given in English. The students are not required to learn Japanese to join this program. In this program,globally recognized and highly qualified graduates are expected to be educated under the guiding principles of the Graduate
School of Engineering Science which strives to integrate science and technology.
Outline and Features of the Program
1.

The aim of this program is to develop human resources with high level, creative and flexible problem-solving ability. This isachieved through multi- and interdisciplinary research training, seminars, and lectures, given by prominent professors in theirrespective fields.

2.

Students receive guidance and are supervised in English.

3.

The master’s course students are required to complete at least thirty (30) credits from the subjects (including thecompulsory subjects) as given in Table 1. The list of courses given in English is shown in Table 2. Course codes ofcompulsory courses (Seminar and Research I~IV) are shown in Table 3. Provided, if the student wishes to take subjects
offered in the general course and wish to apply the credits for completion, he or she may do so based on the regulations set
separately. Contact the Graduate Students Section for details.
The doctoral course students are required to obtain twelve (12) credits in “Advanced/Special Research I to VI” for eachdivision as shown in Table 4 as well as to take “Research Training for Doctor's Thesis”(*) with no credit.
(*) This is a procedure to be taken between the Graduate Students Section and the supervising professor. The student will notneed to carry out any procedures.

4.

The opportunity for an internship at a prominent Japanese company or research organization will be provided in order toincrease the knowledge and experience of cutting edge technologies. This internship will allow international students tobecome discerning and well-balanced scientists, with a deeper understanding of the Japanese society. The internship will also
meet the requirements of the international students who wish to have practical experience in industry.

5.

Those finishing their master’s course will be awarded the Master of Engineering degree. Those finishing their doctoral
course will be awarded the Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering or Doctor of Philosophy in Science degree.
