Rapid advances in science and technology, together with the expansion of information networks, have greatly changed society, industry, and the way we live. At the same time, the issues we face, including energy and environmental challenges, are becoming increasingly complex and require a global perspective. New technologies such as AI, IoT, advanced materials, and energy technologies are creating unprecedented value by connecting beyond the boundaries of traditional academic fields.
To support society in this era, advanced expertise in engineering must be combined with the ability to think across disciplines and with the freedom to imagine new possibilities. Engineering plays an essential role in turning scientific knowledge into forms that benefit society and support people's lives and future.
In April 2026, the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Hyogo reorganized its former divisions and launched a new Department of Engineering. The department consists of six fields: five fields corresponding to the undergraduate courses in electrical and electronic engineering, artificial intelligence and informatics, mechanical engineering, materials design, and applied chemistry, together with the Field of Synchrotron Radiation Engineering. By bringing these broad areas together, we provide an environment where new ideas and research possibilities can emerge.
Graduate study is a place of challenge, where students build on the foundations acquired as undergraduates, identify problems on their own, and create new knowledge and technologies through research. In our graduate school, students work closely with faculty members and pursue independent learning and research in an advanced research environment.
We look forward to seeing your originality and spirit of inquiry lead to new technologies and values, and to the power to help solve social challenges. All of us among the faculty and staff sincerely look forward to working with you and sharing the journey of your research challenges.
