PhD in Engineering

The Graduate School of Engineering at Osaka Electro-Communication University is designed for students who want to deepen the engineering interests they developed as undergraduates. It offers a wide range of subjects, lets students pursue their own research themes, and puts weight on support such as a scholarship scheme for outstanding students. Study is organised into courses. Advanced Science and Engineering covers electronics, materials chemistry, basic science and mathematical analysis. Electronic and Communication Engineering addresses optical and electronic devices, microwave engineering, networks and power systems. Control and Mechanical Engineering combines measurement and control, machining, and energy and environmental topics. Information Engineering spans image analysis, language processing and related computing fields, while the Architecture course covers design, structural mechanics and the production environment. Students can use the university's advanced research facilities and a cooperative graduate programme run with outside research institutions. Graduates move on to careers in industry, including major manufacturers, or continue to doctoral-level study.
