Master in Electrical, Systems, and Control Engineering Program

The Electrical, Systems, and Control Engineering Program is a 2 years, English-taught master's program offered by Hiroshima University in Hiroshima, Japan. Hiroshima University is a national university in Hiroshima, Japan, made up of a broad range of undergraduate schools and graduate schools alongside an attached research institute and university hospital, and it has been recognized under Japan's Top Global University Project as one of the country's larger, comprehensive research universities. This program prepares graduate students to study electrical systems, automation, and control engineering, covering areas such as electronics, systems theory, control engineering, and robotics. Coursework typically combines core engineering theory with laboratory-based research, giving students the chance to work with faculty on topics such as power systems, signal processing, sensor technology, and automated control. Students build skills in circuit design, systems modeling, and control theory that apply broadly across electrical and systems engineering. Graduates of electrical, systems, and control engineering programs commonly move into electronics, robotics, power and energy, and industrial automation industries, taking on roles in systems design, controls engineering, and product development. The training also serves as a foundation for further doctoral study or research positions in academic and industrial laboratories. Because instruction is delivered in English, the program is designed for international students pursuing a Japanese graduate education without a Japanese-language requirement for coursework, while still offering exposure to Japanese academic life through the Hiroshima campus. Applicants join a cohort within one of Japan's larger national university systems, with access to research infrastructure spanning engineering, science, and applied technology fields. The program begins in April.
