There is a demand for the development of multidimensional energy theory — a discipline developed through specializing and deepening expertise, and fusing and restructuring complex learning related to energy, which makes it possible to gain an effective, comprehensive overview. Experts in this field are also in demand. In the Graduate Major in Energy Science and Engineering, we cultivate individuals to lead innovation and contribute to society with advanced expertise based on the disciplines of physics, chemistry, materials science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. Such individuals possess the comprehensive skills to handle ever-changing energy problems from a multidimensional energy theory perspective, with independent problem extracting/solving skills and international leadership skills.

In the Master's Program, we train individuals with advanced expertise based on the disciplines of physics, chemistry, materials science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering, as well as the ability to solve energy problems from a multidimensional energy theory perspective.

The educational program is comprised of the Specialized Theory Lecture Group for acquiring advanced expertise in individual disciplines, and the Energy Theory Lecture Group for learning theory (multidimensional energy theory ) common to the study of energy. The program is structured so that students can acquire (1) advanced expertise in chemistry, physics, materials science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering and (2) the ability to look at the whole picture and make judgments from the perspective of multidimensional energy theory, independent problem extraction and solving skills, and international leadership skills by taking courses in the Energy Theory Lecture Group, which are common restricted electives, while also choosing courses from the Specialized Theory Lecture Group from the specialized fields of applied chemistry, chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and materials science.

Scholarships

MEXT Scholarship(University Recommendation -SGU-)

Applicants with outstanding academic performance records have the chance to apply for the Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship. The scholarship provides a monthly stipend, \147,000 (JPY) for Master's Program students and \148,000 (JPY) for Doctoral Program students. (*This stipend is subject to change as specified by the regulations of the MEXT Scholarship program.) Traveling expenses are not provided from MEXT. This scholarship will be paid from April 2017 to March 2018 (12 months). The scholarship period can be extended under some conditions specified by MEXT. Successful MEXT Scholarship recipients are not required to pay admission or tuition fees. The number of awards is very limited.

NOTE: The applicant will be required to withdraw from the scholarship if he/she is applying to more than one program which will be supported by MEXT scholarship or he/she is applying to Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) scholarship and MEXT scholarship simultaneously.

JASSO

Applicants who enroll in Tokyo Tech without other scholarship have the chance to apply for the "Monbukagakusho Honors Scholarship for Privately Financed International Students" from the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO).

Please note that those who are granted any other scholarship cannot apply to receive this scholarship simultaneously. The monthly amount of this scholarship is ¥48,000 (JPY). The monthly amount is subject to change as specified by JASSO. This scholarship will be paid from April, 2017 to March, 2018 (12 months). You should pay the admission and tuition fees even if you are selected as a recipient of this scholarship.
