〇 Admission Policy
The Tohoku University Graduate School of Engineering aims to develop
researchers who think for themselves and carry out research with ethical standards
and courage to realize a safe, secure, and prosperous society, and who can play a rolein developing and innovating future science and technology with abundantcreativity and research capability, based on profound knowledge and broad
perspectives on nature and human beings. It also aims to develop professional
engineers who can contribute to the sustainable development of society with not
only highly specialized knowledge but also long-term perspectives and aninternational outlook. Specifically, we welcome students with the following academic
abilities and skills, and who aspire to be creative, highly proficient researchers andprofessional engineers who contribute to the sustainable development of society:
1. A broad range of basic engineering knowledge, advanced expertise on their own

research fields, and the ability to develop them in a flexible manner; and2. The ability to logically present and discuss the significance and outcome of theirresearch.
For this reason, the Graduate School of Engineering conduct Regular Selection,
Special Selection for Working Adults, Special Selection for Foreign Students, andSelection for International Degree Courses Offering Education in English, to selectstudents with an emphasis on the abilities and qualities necessary to carry out
