Based on the motto of the university since its foundation – to instill a deep knowledge of science and engineering in high caliber students – Kyutech Graduate Schools foster highly-skilled engineers who actively participate in research and development, with a high degree of professionalism and in-depth knowledge, outstanding abilities and high creativity.
With the aim of acquiring advanced knowledge and practical problem-solving abilities for creative thinking and research and development activities in the specialized fields of science and engineering, we seek students who, have acquired basic academic abilities that are essential for further study and basic expertise, as well as global communication skills, understanding of diverse cultures, understanding of social roles of technology, independence, and cooperativeness.
Students should
(1) Understand natural phenomena scientifically with the acquisition of basic academic abilities that are essential for engineers and knowledge of the specialized field of engineering
(2) Understand human beings, society, and cultures
(3) Understand the roles of engineering and technology in society
(4) Have acquired Japanese language or native tongue proficiency for understanding backgrounds and context and providing explanations properly, and a basic ability to communicate in English
(5) Have acquired abilities in logical thinking, analysis, and explanation that are essential for problem-solving
(6) Have ethical standards and a sense of commitment as an engineer, and have an aim of contributing to society
(7) Have self-discipline, and carry out voluntary activities
(8) Cooperate with other individuals and make full use of individuals’ capabilities
For admissions selection, We evaluate (1), (4), and part of (5) mainly by written examination and TOEIC/TOEFL scores, (2) and (3) mainly by academic transcript, and part of (5), (6), (7) and (8) by interview. For international students, Japanese language proficiency in (4) can also be evaluated by language other than Japanese (mother tongue, etc.).
Graduate School of Life Science and Systems Engineering
Goals for Fostering Engineers and Researchers
The Graduate School of Life Science and Systems Engineering aims at training engineers and researchers who are capable of elucidating the structures and functions of living organisms. Such knowledge is expected to offer valuable insights into resource and energy conservation, environmental harmony, and strategies for improving human life. Students who join our program should also be capable of practically applying such insights to real engineering problems.
Furthermore, the school aims to foster engineers who are comfortable working in a globalized society to, in cooperation with professionals in other fields, address social needs and help in developing solutions to contemporary problems with the goal of achieving greater environmental sustainability and harmony.
Requirements for Applicants
