Master in Global Course of Engineering and Science

At Shibaura Institute of Technology, the tuition fee is 1,255,000 JPY per year.

The Global Course of Engineering and Science at Shibaura Institute of Technology is a master's program taught in English in Saitama, Japan, running two years with an April start. Shibaura Institute of Technology is a science and engineering university that describes its mission around the Japanese concept of monozukuri, or craftsmanship in manufacturing, aiming to carry that tradition forward while welcoming international students from its network of partner universities to create a multicultural campus where students engage daily with peers from different academic and cultural backgrounds. The Global Course of Engineering and Science covers core engineering and science disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, and information engineering, materials science, and applied physics, typically allowing students to select a specialization aligned with their research interests. Coursework combines theoretical study with laboratory-based research, reflecting the university's manufacturing-oriented, hands-on approach to engineering education, where students are expected to apply scientific principles to practical design and production problems rather than study theory in isolation. Group projects, design work, and collaboration with peers from partner universities around the world are common features of programs built on this model. Over two years, students generally combine advanced coursework in their chosen engineering or science specialization with a research thesis, developed under faculty supervision and often connected to ongoing laboratory research at the institute. Graduates from programs of this kind commonly move into engineering, manufacturing, or research and development roles across industries such as electronics, automotive, materials, or information technology, and some continue into doctoral study. Studying in English at a Japanese engineering university built around a manufacturing tradition and an international, multicultural student body gives graduates both technical grounding and a network across the partner universities that feed into the program, relevant for an engineering career connected to Japan after finishing the degree.
