Program Features
Balance between Research, Education, and Application
The program provides research guidance and lectures to enhance students’ awareness of research methods and problems with the aim of helping them acquire rich leadership skills and creativity as well as basic academic knowledge to enable them to take leadership role in research and development. Students can participate in diverse joint experiments while staying overseas, and in intramural joint research with other divisions at Sophia University.
Research Activities Making a Global Leap Ahead
Graduate students receive instructions from faculty members and devote themselves to cutting-edge research with the aim of presenting their research on papers and international conferences. Research systems and facilities are being strengthened through joint research with companies and national research institution, and national research projects.
Design Your Own Graduate School
Changes occur continuously as a result of the development of new technologies in the field of electrical and electronic engineering, so students from other fields can also enter the program. In addition, graduate students who have achieved outstanding research results may complete their studies at an early stage. Students may also choose to study abroad on their own initiative, and Sophia University is working to provide an environment to reduce the financial burden on students.
