Program Description

KUAS features an engineering program that is closer to the manufacturing industry than ever before, in a country that is globally acclaimed for its engineering ingenuity. This is the all-new, all-English faculty of engineering by the Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS).

With a team of internationally distinguished faculty members and active professional engineers, the department established in 2020. Focusing on the technology that will help shape our future - electric vehicles, drones, robots, AI machinery, motor-related solutions, power generation systems and much more - we welcome the next generation of engineers to Kyoto.

To create state-of-the-art technology, it is essential to provide state-of-the-art education. With this in mind, we have created a program that has the supreme goal of providing an education that helps equip our student with the immediate real-world skills needed to best function in the modern world of engineering.

Specializing in the field of mechanical, electrical, and mechatronics technology, we offer an outside-in approach that considers the current trends of the industry, allowing our students the opportunity to work with real engineers in Kyoto’s full-fledged manufacturing industry. Upon graduation, our aim is for our students to have the smoothest transition possible to work at world-renowned companies and institutions, in Japan and beyond.

1st Year - 1,654,410 Japanese Yen
2nd Year - 1,476,500 Japanese Yen
3rd Year - 1,476,500 Japanese Yen
4th Year - 1,501,500 Japanese Yen

The fees above include the admission fee, accident insurance, and other administrative fees.
