Engineering (Graduate)

KUAS Graduate School of Engineering’s program is based on the four fields of materials, energy, information and systems, with each research field correlating and overlapping with the others. Students can seek expert advice from specialists outside their field, which can lead to their discovery of new ideas. Students learn how to innovate at a professional level while expanding their integrated knowledge beyond the boundaries of their field.
At KUAS, students are taught by experts in a wide range of fields. Please see the table below for details.
