About Kyoto University of Advanced Science - Institution

Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS) is an accredited four-year private university with approximately 3,600 students in Kyoto, Japan. It was founded in 1969.

In 2020, KUAS established the Faculty of Engineering where students can learn the most advanced technologies through a practical study program. At KUAS' Faculty of Engineering, students will be able to study a wide range of engineering fields and prepare themselves to compete on the global stage.

Top-tier professionals who can create useful innovations for the future are in high demand all over the world. KUAS will provide its students a professional and practical education to help them grow into leaders of innovation and ensure that they are capable of taking on the diverse challenges that society faces.

The Study of Mechatronics in the Context of Emerging Industries.

Mechatronics is the academic area of focus at KUAS's graduate school, specifically the study of mechatronics in the context of emerging industries. Conventional fields of mechatronics have included mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering, which at KUAS are extended with chemical, materials, information, and knowledge engineering. Skills acquired in these disciplines can be applied in many industries, particularly in the fields of robotics, drones, and electric vehicles. Graduate students are affiliated with a research laboratory and learn in an "on- the-research training" environment under the supervision of globally-active professors from around the world. Along with cutting-edge research facilities, this environment is ideal to help students further the development of their specialized field.
