The members are selected from the students of Postgraduate Integrated Course Program of Integrated Medical Engineering (Interdisciplinary Engineering Course).

The information on subjects, curriculums, and recruitment of the students are uploaded on the website of these programs. Some program may close recruitment of students.

Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education

Kyoto University’s new Doctoral program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education was launched in 2019 in order to create new 5-year doctoral programs that bring together world-class educational and research capabilities while incorporating with other universities, research institutes, and private companies in Japan and/or abroad through systematic collaboration. Graduate School of Engineering participates in this program as below. The information on recruitment of the students are uploaded on the website separately.

Innovation of Advanced Photonic and Electronic Devices

Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Science Engineering have been involved in this program from 2019, the members are selected from the prospective students including the applicants of Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Science Engineering.

Top Global Course

The Japan Gateway: Kyoto University Top Global Program was launched in 2014 as a “Top Type” model university in Japan to foster global talent that will take active roles around the world with strategic vision, creativity, ability to develop ideas, and continuity. Currently six chemistry-related departments from the Graduate School of Engineering participate in this program and have established “Top Global Course” in 2015. The members are selected from the students who pass the entrance examination of one of six chemistry-related departments and plan to study at the doctoral course. The selected students will belong to the Postgraduate Integrated Course Program of Materials Engineering and Chemistry in the Interdisciplinary Engineering Course. Students who want to take this course from Doctoral Program need to select the Postgraduate Integrated Course Program of Materials Engineering and Chemistry in the Interdisciplinary Engineering Course in an application for an examination.

The information on recruitment of the students will be uploaded on the website of the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Unit for the Top Global Course and announced separately via notices, etc.
