Master in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineers are required to possess sophisticated expertise and broad discernment to be able to offer solutions for problems such as environmental pollution, global warming, and energy-related issues. This program offers about sixty-course subjects in the master's program to enable students to acquire everything from diverse fundamental mechanical engineering skills to cutting-edge specialized expertise. This allows them to acquire additional high-level, advanced, and more finely specialized skills after they gain expertise in basic mechanical engineering fields. Our training creates self-reliant, high-level engineers who can play roles internationally through having them learn these subjects and prepare the required master's thesis.

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.
