All-English program KUAS offers a trailblazing engineering program in Japan, with a curriculum taught entirely in English.
Intensive Japanese language programKUAS provides all international students with intensive Japanese language courses to broaden their future career path.
Capstone programTraining the engineers of tomorrow through a focus on solving real problems, we offer original team-based learning such as our Capstone program. Students will have opportunities to develop their skills in small teams by tackling real-world engineering problems. They are expected to identify, design, research, and evaluate solutions, as well as undertake a part-time industry placement to deepen their understanding as a solution provider.
> Goals
• Strengthening analysis and problem-solving ability
• Fostering team working and communication skills
• High employment rate in synergy with personalised career support
Multi-disciplinary studyKUAS offers a high degree of flexibility in specialization so that students can have exposure to a wide range of knowledge and expertise in subcategorized fields necessary for professionally balanced engineers. These include; Industrial Design, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Measurement, Control, Intelligent Systems & Robotics, Materials, Ionics, Electromagnetism, Actuators, Power & Energy Systems, Microelectronic Technologies & Devices, Integrated Circuits & Embedded Systems, Signal Analysis & Machine Intelli-gence, and AI.
Mechanical and Electrical System EngineeringMeeting the strong demand for street-smart engineers in our global societyKyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS) features an engineering program with close ties to the manufacturing industry, in a country that is globally acclaimed for its engineering ingenuity. This is an all-new, all-English program of engineering.
With a team of internationally distinguished faculty members and active professional engineers, the program will begin accepting students in September 2020. Focusing on the technology that will help shape our future—electric vehicles, drones, robots, AI, machinery, motor-related solutions, power generation systems and much more - we will welcome the next generation of engineers to Kyoto.
To create state-of-the-art technology, it is essential to provide state-of-the-art educa-tion. That is why KUAS have created a program with the ultimate goal of providing an education that equips our students with the immediate, real-world skills needed to best function in the modern world of engineering.
Specializing in the fields of mechanical, electrical, and mechatronics technology, we will offer an outside-in approach that considers the current trends of the industry, allowing our students the opportunity to work with real engineers in Kyoto’s full-fledged manu-facturing industry. Upon graduation, our aim is for our students to have the smoothest transition possible to work at world-renowned companies and institutions, in Japan and beyond.

Graduate Programs
Facing the rapid structural reforms in society and industry head-on, as well as the higher educational needs they entail, Kyoto University of Advanced Science’s graduate program of engineering nurtures engineers with superior skills and knowledge to become international leaders in the fields of science and technology in the 21st century. In the Master’s program, students can gain advanced knowledge and expertise in areas such as electrical, elec-tronic, mechanical and electrochemical engineering, all of which are indispensable to future electromechanical fields.
In the Doctoral program, as well as sophisticated knowl-edge and expertise in the field of electromechanical systems, students will acquire greater competency in developing their problem-solving skills based on a variety of academic trends and demands from society.Both programs aim to help students become engineers and researchers who, by developing new concepts, are central to the creation of new industries and value for future generations.

Faculty of Engineering Our brand-new Undergraduate Program, to be established in 2021
Graduate School of EngineeringOur brand-new Master’s and Doctor’s Programs, established in 2020
Graduate visionStreet smart engineers working actively in the global community, con-tributing to the engineer-ing industry of the future by applying a variety of advanced mechatronics technologies, with inter-disciplinary culture and expertise.
Career PathFrom an engineer’s perspective, Kyoto provides a uniquely stimulating environment for building a career. To assist our students, we embrace the presence of globally top-performing mechanical and electronics companies headquartered in Kyoto, as well as our close relationship with Nidec.
Engaging in industry placement during coursework will lead to an inspiring opportunity to explore a landscape of great career opportunities available in Japan. KUAS ensures that student industry involvement acts as a springboard for a smooth entry into life after graduation. This is possible because of the existence of a myriad of excellent and global engineering firms based in Kyoto.

All-English program KUAS offers a trailblazing engineering program in Japan, with a curriculum taught entirely in English.
Intensive Japanese language programKUAS provides all international students with intensive Japanese language courses to broaden their future career path.
Capstone programTraining the engineers of tomorrow through a focus on solving real problems, we offer original team-based learning such as our Capstone program. Students will have opportunities to develop their skills in small teams by tackling real-world engineering problems. They are expected to identify, design, research, and evaluate solutions, as well as undertake a part-time industry placement to deepen their understanding as a solution provider.
> Goals
• Strengthening analysis and problem-solving ability
• Fostering team working and communication skills
• High employment rate in synergy with personalised career support
Multi-disciplinary studyKUAS offers a high degree of flexibility in specialization so that students can have exposure to a wide range of knowledge and expertise in subcategorized fields necessary for professionally balanced engineers. These include; Industrial Design, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Measurement, Control, Intelligent Systems & Robotics, Materials, Ionics, Electromagnetism, Actuators, Power & Energy Systems, Microelectronic Technologies & Devices, Integrated Circuits & Embedded Systems, Signal Analysis & Machine Intelli-gence, and AI.
Mechanical and Electrical System EngineeringMeeting the strong demand for street-smart engineers in our global societyKyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS) features an engineering program with close ties to the manufacturing industry, in a country that is globally acclaimed for its engineering ingenuity. This is an all-new, all-English program of engineering.
With a team of internationally distinguished faculty members and active professional engineers, the program will begin accepting students in September 2020. Focusing on the technology that will help shape our future—electric vehicles, drones, robots, AI, machinery, motor-related solutions, power generation systems and much more - we will welcome the next generation of engineers to Kyoto.
To create state-of-the-art technology, it is essential to provide state-of-the-art educa-tion. That is why KUAS have created a program with the ultimate goal of providing an education that equips our students with the immediate, real-world skills needed to best function in the modern world of engineering.
Specializing in the fields of mechanical, electrical, and mechatronics technology, we will offer an outside-in approach that considers the current trends of the industry, allowing our students the opportunity to work with real engineers in Kyoto’s full-fledged manu-facturing industry. Upon graduation, our aim is for our students to have the smoothest transition possible to work at world-renowned companies and institutions, in Japan and beyond.
