Master in Electrical Engineering and Electronics

Electrical and electronic engineering technologies underpinned the foundations and development of the Japanese industry. We have enjoyed the benefits of the information society in recent years, but at the same time been confronted by big new problems related to the environment and energy. We need to provide engineers with broad discernment and advanced specializations to support society. This program offers a curriculum consisting of core subjects that supplement the basic knowledge acquired in undergraduate studies and numerous specialized subjects for students to learn about advanced fields. Research activities are emphasized to help students build the ability to think for themselves and to uncover and solve problems.

Kogakuin University was initially founded in 1887 as Koshu Gakko by Koki Watanabe. It was the first private engineering school established in Japan to train engineers who would be prepared to work on the front lines of the industries that were needed for promoting Japan's modernization. This initial vision of cultivating engineers who are work-ready for the industrial world remains intact at the university to this day.

Kogakuin aims to maintain an atmosphere that promotes the highest educational standards as well as encouraging passion and motivation within its students. In order to ensure this, Kogakuin University concentrates its efforts on fostering cooperation among the different departments and faculties so as to provide a curriculum that promotes a systematic course of study in each department. Thus, each faculty at Kogakuin offers an array of lecture courses, lab courses, and training seminars in both general education and specialized subjects. This ensures that upon graduation the students are prepared to function in their fields of expertise and contribute to society.
