Master's Program
Environmental and Urban Engineering Major
The Environmental and Urban Engineering Major is organized around the concept of community and urban design. By proposing styles that allow regional traditions and local industries to function meaningfully in contemporary life, the program seeks to contribute to the revitalization of towns and communities. While incorporating human and cultural dimensions that are closely connected within society, students learn to design, promote, and realize the engineering and physical infrastructure needed for community development and regional revitalization, including solutions to energy and environmental issues. Based on this approach, the program aims to cultivate researchers and engineers who possess strong theoretical and experimental foundations together with a broad frontier-minded perspective. In addition to moving beyond a purely science-oriented approach toward practical community building, the program places emphasis on fostering creativity, integrating related elements into advanced knowledge, and developing strong design capabilities.
Doctoral Program
Integrated Science and Engineering Major
Students who deepen their expertise in the fields responsible for each specialized area of the master's program and wish to pursue the path of researchers advance to the Integrated Science and Engineering Major in the doctoral program. Unlike the master's program, the doctoral program provides a comprehensive research supervision system that is not confined to a single field. Under the guidance of their primary supervisor, students can also receive instruction from multiple faculty members with different areas of expertise across disciplines, which stimulates innovative research from a broad perspective. Based on the results of their research in the doctoral program, students prepare a doctoral dissertation, undergo examination, and earn their degree. This program also promotes multifaceted research and education by strengthening collaboration and exchange not only with the university's Organization for Research and Development of Innovative Science and Technology, but also with other research institutions in Japan and with universities overseas. Through their own research, students contribute to these activities and grow into highly specialized researchers with broad knowledge and an international outlook.
