Master's Course: Mechanical Design Engineering

Tuition comes to 3,372 USD per year.

The Master's Course in Mechanical Design Engineering at the University of Fukui is a two-year master's program taught in English, with entry available in both October and April. The program covers mechanical design, manufacturing processes, materials engineering, and mechanical systems analysis, preparing graduates for careers in mechanical engineering, product design, manufacturing, and further doctoral research. The University of Fukui is located in Fukui, a small city on the western coast of central Japan close to Kyoto and Osaka, and operates under the policy "KAKUCHI, the driving force for the future of people and society." The university has three campuses, Bunkyo, Matsuoka, and Tsuruga, and four schools: Education, Medical Sciences, Engineering, and Global and Community Studies. Around 5,000 students are enrolled at the university, accounting for about half of the prefecture's roughly 11,000 university students. Students in the Mechanical Design Engineering course typically join a research laboratory within the School of Engineering and work on projects related to mechanical systems, materials, or manufacturing processes, building toward a master's thesis under faculty supervision. Graduates pursue careers in mechanical engineering, manufacturing, product development, and industrial design, and the program's English-medium instruction with two annual intakes is designed to be accessible to international applicants without requiring Japanese-language proficiency at entry.
