Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering (English-based Degree Program)

Tuition fees are 1,281,000 JPY per year.

Waseda University offers a Mechanical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering track as part of its English-based bachelor's degree programs, based at the university's Tokyo campus. The undergraduate degree runs for four years, beginning each September, within a private university that enrolls more than 47,000 students and ranks as the second largest in Japan. This bachelor's track brings together three connected engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineering coursework typically covers mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and machine design, preparing graduates for roles in manufacturing, robotics, automotive, and energy industries. Civil engineering study centers on the design and analysis of infrastructure such as bridges, roads, and buildings, along with structural analysis and construction management. Environmental engineering adds coursework on water treatment, pollution control, sustainable resource management, and the environmental impact of infrastructure projects. Students in a combined program like this usually take shared foundational courses in mathematics, physics, and engineering fundamentals before choosing a specialization or working across all three areas. Graduates from mechanical, civil, and environmental engineering programs commonly find work as design engineers, structural engineers, project managers, environmental consultants, or researchers, in both the private sector and government infrastructure agencies. Because instruction is delivered in English, the program is built for international students who want an engineering education grounded in Japanese academic standards without needing to complete coursework in Japanese first. Studying in Tokyo also places students close to major Japanese engineering firms, research institutes, and industry events, an environment where infrastructure development, disaster-resilient design, and environmental technology remain active areas of professional practice and academic research.
