Bachelor in Dept. of Engineering and Applied Sciences(Green Engineering program)

The Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Sophia University offers a Green Engineering program leading to a four-year bachelor's degree, taught in English with admission each September. Sophia University, based in Tokyo, is a private university that enrols international students from more than sixty countries and employs faculty from more than twenty countries, most with overseas study or research experience. The Green Engineering program situates engineering training within an environmental and sustainability framework, combining coursework in mechanical, electrical, chemical, and environmental engineering with subjects addressing energy systems, materials, and resource management. Students build a foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry before moving into applied coursework covering renewable energy technology, environmental impact assessment, and sustainable design practices. Laboratory work and project-based coursework are typical components of an engineering curriculum at this level, giving students hands-on experience with the tools and methods used in environmental and energy-related engineering fields. Graduates of green engineering programs commonly pursue careers in renewable energy companies, environmental consulting, manufacturing, infrastructure planning, and further graduate study in engineering or environmental science. Being based in Tokyo gives students access to a major industrial and technology center, along with companies and research institutions working on sustainability and clean energy. The four-year bachelor's structure allows students to progress from general engineering fundamentals toward more specialized coursework and design projects tied to green engineering as they advance through the program. English-medium instruction allows international students to complete the degree without needing prior Japanese language proficiency, broadening access to the program for applicants worldwide.
