School of Fundamental Science and Engineering

Waseda University's Mathematical Sciences, Computer Science and Communication Engineering track is an English-based bachelor's degree based at the university's Tokyo campus, running for four years with entry each September. It sits within a private university enrolling more than 47,000 students across 13 undergraduate and 20 graduate schools, making it the second largest university in Japan. This program groups three related fields of study. Mathematical sciences coursework covers areas such as algebra, analysis, probability, and applied mathematics, giving students tools used across engineering and data-driven disciplines. Computer science study typically includes programming, algorithms, data structures, computer architecture, and software engineering, along with growing coverage of machine learning and data science. Communication engineering focuses on signal processing, networks, wireless systems, and the infrastructure behind telecommunications. Students following a track like this build a shared foundation in mathematics and computing before moving into more specialized coursework, often supported by laboratory work and project-based assignments. Career paths for graduates in these fields span software development, data analysis, network and telecommunications engineering, systems design, and further graduate study in mathematics, computer science, or electrical engineering. Because the degree is taught in English, it is designed for international students who want to complete an undergraduate engineering and computing education in Japan without first needing to be fluent in Japanese. Being based in Tokyo also puts students close to major Japanese technology companies, telecommunications providers, and research institutions, an environment where computing, applied mathematics, and communications technology are all active areas of industry demand and academic research.
