Outline of the Undergraduate International Course Program of Global Engineering

A new international course in the Undergraduate School of Global Engineering is being offered since April 2011. All classes are provided in English. The field of global engineering perceives civil engineering problems on a global scale, including environmental issues and natural resource concerns. The course aims to cultivate human resources capable of designing and managing civil infrastructures while considering global environmental issues around urban and regional areas, particularly in Asian and African countries. This international course is offered through K.U. PROFILE. This course is a 4-year program leading to a Bachelor of Engineering degree. In the first and second years, students are required to take classes in fundamental mathematics and physics, and also liberal arts. Scientific English and basic Japanese classes are also available. From the second year, specialized civil engineering classes begin, including classes in environmental engineering and earth resources, and energy science. For the first three years, all classes will be offered at Yoshida Campus, the main campus of Kyoto University. In the fourth (final) year, students with sufficient credits will be able to join a research group and may relocate to one of the universitys other nearby campuses, such as Katsura Campus or Uji Campus. Many of Kyoto Universitys civil engineering related laboratories moved from the main campus to Katsura Campus in 2006. The campus is renowned for its excellent research environment and experiment facilities. Each student will undertake research for their bachelor thesis at his/her designated laboratory. The thesis must be presented and examined in February of the final year, in order to graduate in March. Kyoto Universitys many international partnerships with institutions overseas provide students with opportunities to undertake study and research not only in Japan, but also in other countries. A credit transfer system will be made available for students who wish to study outside of Japan for a certain period. After completing this course, it is recommended that students continue their research in the masters and doctoral programs. New masters programs are also launched by the Graduate School of Engineering, providing further education and research opportunities in English. The following related programs are available: masters programs in the Management of Civil Infrastructure, and Urban and Regional Development in addition to a doctoral program in Human Security Engineering.

As mentioned above, all classes will be offered in English. However, the university would like to encourage students to learn the Japanese language and study Japanese culture in order to make their stay more fruitful and to enhance their future opportunities. For this purpose, the university also provides a number of classes related to Japanese language and culture. The detailed course curriculum is available at the following website: http://www.s-ge.t.kyoto-u.ac.jp/int/en/lecture

Further Studies at the Graduate School level

The Graduate School of Engineering at Kyoto University provides the following postgraduate educational programs: a masters-only program (Masters Program) and a program linking the masters with the doctoral program (the Integrated Master's-Doctoral Program). The Masters Program offers fundamental classes in various selected fields. Students learn how to conduct their own research for their theses. This is an educational program for students who hope to work as researchers or highly skilled engineers in corporations and research institutes. The Integrated Master's-Doctoral Program is intended for students aspiring to earn a doctoral degree and work as researchers in their fields. The students who finish the Masters Program can also continue their studies in the Integrated Master's-Doctoral Program. Two masters programs in the civil engineering field, have been provided in English since April, 2011 as follows: International Course in Management of Civil Infrastructure in the Department of Civil and Earth Resources Engineering International Course in Urban and Regional Development in the Department of Urban Management The Advanced Engineering Education Center, newly established in the Graduate School of Engineering, also offers the Interdisciplinary Engineering Program, an integrated masters-doctoral program spanning several fields of study, in which all classes are provided in English. The following course integrates the fields of city governance, city infrastructure management, health risk management and disaster risk management, and aims to contribute to the fulfillment of basic human needs and facilitate sustainable recovery from environmental pollution and disasters.

Admission Policy

Philosophy and Objectives The Kyoto University Faculty of Engineering emphasizes the building of a solid foundation for learning, under the tradition of a liberal academic environment. A liberal academic environment is one in which students are encouraged to view the world free of preconceptions by garnering a scientific eye. This entails the development of a critical attitude toward academia, and serves as a solid foundation for learning. It is widely thought that the focus of an engineering faculty is largely on applied technologies. However, Kyoto Universitys unique approach differs from this general perception and is somewhat unique. In short, the Kyoto University Faculty of Engineering adheres to its principle academic approach, which is based on a belief that a deep understanding of the basics will be essential for applying technologies to a wide variety of situations in the future. During the first and second years after enrolling as undergraduate in the Kyoto University Faculty of Engineering, students take general education courses common to all science course students. They are also required to take liberal arts, as well as English and/or other foreign languages. At the same time, department/program specialization begins from the first year, gradually increasing in weight. In the fourth year, students begin a special research project on a specific theme, and are assigned to their chosen laboratory where they are able to conduct their studies in a cutting-edge environment together with graduate students and supervising academics. Students who continue on to graduate school receive a more advanced level of specialized education and research guidance. Through this approach to education, the Kyoto University Faculty of Engineering has consistently turned out gradates who are capable of applying their expertise to a broad range of activities, independently and creatively tackling entirely new challenges, and who possess a deep knowledge base and strict sense of integrity. Student Profile The following persons are encouraged to enroll in our program: 1) Individuals who possess a thorough command of the knowledge gained from their secondary school education, and who have the competence to undertake a post-secondary education in fundamental scientific principles in the Faculty of Engineering. 2) Individuals who are free of preconceptions, who strive to verify and understand the mechanisms behind matters firsthand. 3) Individuals who have the enthusiasm and vitality to creatively explore new fields of technology.
