Master in Dept. of Engineering

The Department of Engineering master's program at the University of Miyazaki (UoM) is based in Miyazaki, on Japan's Kyushu island. UoM follows the slogan "Look at the World, Start with the Community," and organizes its work across five faculties: Education, Medicine, Engineering, Agriculture, and Regional Innovation, with graduate schools spanning Education, Nursing, Engineering, Agriculture, and Regional Innovation, alongside a combined master's and doctoral course at the Graduate School of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. This master's program in Engineering is taught in English, runs two years, and admits students in April or October. Graduate engineering study at this level typically spans mechanical, electrical, civil, and materials engineering, along with emerging areas such as energy systems, environmental engineering, and applied information technology, depending on the laboratory and research group a student joins. Students generally combine coursework with a supervised research project, working toward a thesis under a faculty advisor, and gain experience with experimental methods, data analysis, and technical writing appropriate to their specialization. The university's broader emphasis on life sciences, environmental science, food science, and energy science suggests opportunities for interdisciplinary engineering research connected to these fields. Career paths after a master's degree in engineering commonly include roles in manufacturing, construction, energy, information technology, and infrastructure industries, as well as further doctoral study for those aiming at research or academic careers. Because the program is taught in English, applicants are not required to demonstrate Japanese language ability for admission, and screening includes an interview with an oral examination or presentation component, along with required English proficiency scores from TOEIC, TOEFL, or IELTS.
