Master in Department of Mechanical Engineering

Tuition fees are 3,300 USD per year.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Institute of Science Tokyo offers a master's program in Tokyo, Japan. Instruction is in English, admission is available in April and October, and the course runs two years, combining coursework with a supervised research project. The department covers core mechanical engineering areas such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, robotics, and manufacturing, giving master's students a foundation across the discipline before they specialize through a research project with a faculty supervisor. Students take graduate coursework alongside laboratory or design-based research work, developing skills in engineering analysis, computer-aided design, and experimental methods, and complete a thesis to finish the degree. This training prepares graduates for engineering roles in manufacturing, automotive, robotics, aerospace, and other industries that rely on mechanical engineering expertise, as well as for further doctoral study. Institute of Science Tokyo was created in Tokyo through the October 2024 merger of Tokyo Institute of Technology, founded in 1881, and Tokyo Medical and Dental University, founded in 1928. The merged institution describes its mission as advancing science and human wellbeing to create value for and with society, combining specialized education with training in liberal arts and interdisciplinary skills. With entry points in both April and October, applicants have some choice in scheduling their start. English-medium teaching allows the program to admit students without requiring Japanese language proficiency, although document requirements and additional English test expectations can differ depending on the intended academic supervisor, and whether a written test is required also depends on the specific program. Mechanical engineering students at Institute of Science Tokyo are part of a broader engineering graduate community, alongside electrical, civil, and systems engineering departments, supporting connections across engineering disciplines.
