Doctorado en Cooperación Mayor en Ingeniería Centrada en el Humano

The Cooperative Major in Human Centered Engineering program seeks to cultivate women with the ability to conduct research based on a flexible grasp of the various challenges of everyday human life, along with a broad understanding of various engineering fields, from the basics to applications.

*This cooperative major is based on the joint implementation system for university curricula established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. This system establishes a mechanism for forming joint educational programs that effectively utilize the education and research resources of multiple mutually collaborating universities.

Ochanomizu University was founded on November 29, 1875, as Tokyo Women’s Normal School, the first institution of higher education for women in Japan. In the over 143 years since the university has forged a new path in education for women. Even when it was difficult for women to play a major role in the workforce, many graduates of this university were pursuing careers and became strong performers in a variety of fields, including academic research, education, industry, government, and the media. They have continued to earn the deep respect of their peers, and have opened up doors to new opportunities for women in the next generation.

We continue to foster women who hold the future by adopting a broad perspective and great sensitivity, based on the legacy and traditions we have built.
