The Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, seeks to achieve a more prominent international reputation through their increased involvement in the exchange of students and researchers as well as joint research projects. Our program now offers interdisciplinary courses in which lectures, instruction, seminars and research-related supervision are given entirely in English. Eligible students can now sequentially attain both a Master's and Doctoral degree from Osaka University, a leading Japanese University, while having minimal to no experience in the Japanese language. These highly qualified and globally recognized graduate students will not only participate in cutting edge research, but also gain a sophisticated understanding of advanced engineering science topics. In this course, globally recognized and highly qualified graduates are expected to be educated under the guiding principles of the Graduate School of Engineering Science, which strives to integrate science and technology. Please join us in exploring science and technology in the 21st century, at the Graduate School of Engineering Science.
