Master in Precision Engineering Course

Tuition comes to 3,372 USD per year.

The Precision Engineering Course is a two-year master's program at The University of Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan, taught in English, with entry available in April or October. The University of Tokyo is Japan's oldest national university, founded in 1877, and organizes education and research across ten faculties and fifteen graduate schools. The master's program in precision engineering focuses on the design, fabrication, and control of high-precision mechanical and manufacturing systems, covering subjects such as micro- and nano-fabrication, mechatronics, metrology, robotics, and manufacturing process design. Students typically complete a curriculum of core and elective coursework combined with a supervised research project in a faculty laboratory, working with precision instrumentation and manufacturing equipment to address specific engineering problems. The program is structured to build both theoretical understanding and hands-on laboratory experience over the two-year course. Graduates with a master's degree in precision engineering pursue careers in manufacturing and mechanical engineering, robotics and automation, semiconductor and electronics industries, quality control and metrology, and further doctoral study in the field, including the University of Tokyo's own doctoral-level Precision Engineering program. Applicants must submit English proficiency test scores, choosing between TOEFL or IELTS; TOEIC is not accepted. Screening of application documents is required, along with an interview that includes an oral examination and presentation, though no short essay or practical exam is required. There is no transfer system for the program, and pre-arrival admission is available, allowing accepted students to be admitted before arriving in Japan to begin the two-year master's program.
