Master in Electrical Engineering and Information Systems Course

The University of Tokyo, Japan's oldest national university, was founded in 1877 with a stated mission of fostering globally minded graduates who can take on leading roles at home and abroad. The university operates 10 faculties and 15 graduate schools and enrolls students from a wide range of countries and backgrounds. Its Electrical Engineering and Information Systems Course at the master's level extends this setting into a 2-year program taught entirely in English, with entry points in April or October. A master's course in electrical engineering and information systems generally combines advanced coursework with a supervised research project, covering areas such as circuits and devices, signal processing, communications, control systems, computer architecture, and information and network systems. Students typically work in laboratory groups alongside faculty and doctoral researchers, building the technical depth needed to design, model, and test electrical and information systems before completing a master's thesis. The discipline sits at the center of technologies used in computing, telecommunications, power systems, and consumer electronics, and graduates apply their training across hardware and software domains alike. For students coming from outside Japan, studying electrical engineering and information systems at a Japanese national university offers access to research groups working on current problems in electronics and information technology, together with the chance to collaborate with classmates and researchers from a range of countries. Because the course is taught in English, participation in lectures, seminars, and lab work does not depend on prior Japanese-language study, although the 2 years on campus give students time to gain some familiarity with the language. Graduates of master's programs in this field typically move into engineering roles in electronics, telecommunications, software, and information systems companies, or continue toward doctoral research in related areas of electrical and computer engineering.
