Master in Mechanical Engineering Program

Tuition comes to 535,800 JPY per year.

The Mechanical 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 the design, analysis, and manufacture of mechanical systems, covering areas such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, robotics, and manufacturing engineering. Coursework typically combines core engineering theory with laboratory and project-based research, giving students the chance to work with faculty on topics such as energy systems, precision machinery, automation, and structural mechanics. Students build skills in modeling, simulation, and experimental testing that carry over across manufacturing and engineering industries. Graduates of mechanical engineering programs commonly move into automotive, aerospace, energy, robotics, and heavy manufacturing industries, taking on roles in product design, systems engineering, and production management. 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 or October.
