The School of Engineering at the University of Hyogo brings together rigorous fundamentals, focused specialization, advanced research facilities, and close student support. Our goal is to educate engineers and researchers who can connect science and technology with real social value—from the region to the world.
Students first develop a solid command of the fundamentals—mathematics, physics, chemistry, data science, and related fields—before moving into specialized study. Building on this foundation, the curriculum introduces the 4X subjects: DX (digital transformation), GX (green transformation), LX (life transformation), and MX (manufacturing and materials). Through interdisciplinary project-based learning, students learn to collaborate across fields and take on complex challenges facing society.
The School offers five undergraduate courses: Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Informatics, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Design, and Applied Chemistry. Students choose their preferred course at the time of application and begin their studies with a clear sense of purpose. After enrollment, they can also take subjects from other courses and explore flexible pathways as their interests and goals develop. This structure allows students to deepen their expertise while keeping future possibilities open.
Students and researchers have access to a strong research environment, including the Joint-Use Equipment Center with advanced analytical instruments such as transmission electron microscopes (TEM), nuclear magnetic resonance systems (NMR), and X-ray diffraction systems (XRD). The School also works in close connection with major synchrotron radiation facilities, including New SUBARU and SPring-8. These resources create opportunities for practical, high-level learning in a research environment that supports world-class engineering science.
Building on the achievements of the former three-department structure, the School has maintained an employment offer rate close to 100%. Approximately 65% of undergraduate graduates and 85% of graduate students enter the manufacturing sector, with many pursuing careers in research, development, design, and advanced engineering. The X-Talent Program, designed with six years of integrated undergraduate-to-graduate education in mind, also supports students who wish to continue to graduate school and develop more advanced expertise.
Through technical English education and global learning programs, students build the communication skills and international perspective needed to work across borders. From the first year, small-group Pilot Seminars help students connect with faculty members and begin thinking about their future paths. Together with individualized support from the Career Center, this environment helps each student prepare for a meaningful career as an engineer who can contribute locally and globally.
