5 Energy Degree Programs in Japan

The Master in International Material Flow Management (IMAT) program an intensive 2-year program centered around renewable energies, zero-emissions policy and business implementation. The program is jointly managed by Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) and the Institute of Applied Material Flow Management (IfaS), an innovative research institute of the Trier University of Applied Science located in Germany.

In the 21st century, it is required to build a sustainable and circulating society in which global environments such as food, water, air, forests, and energy are secured. Especially in Japan, where energy resources are scarce, experts in the field of energy are needed. This course is aimed at fostering engineers capable of analyzing and solving energy-related problems such as securing energy resources, improving energy conversion efficiency, and developing energy efficiency technologies. Courses covering 3 engineering fields - heat/fluid energy engineering, energy device system engineering, and architectural/environmental system engineering are provided with faculty from a variety of fields and business enterprise experience. Energy System Engineering is looking for the passion of youth for the future.

The goal of the Tokyo Tech Academy of Energy and Informatics is to develop Multi-Scope･Energy WISE Professionals who will help realize a sustainable, human-centric energy society free of usage constraints such as costs and CO2 emissions. This will involve using tools for the intelligent use of energy, such as AI-based big data analysis. After mastering multidisciplinary energy science, these individuals will transform and design this new energy society using big data science and their social design skills. We will achieve this through the Tokyo Tech Academy of Energy and Informatics program. Developing Multi-Scope･Energy WISE Professionals will enhance the quality of Tokyo Tech’s research in the field of Integrated Energy Science, one of our primary fields, as well as develop WISE Professionals capable of succeeding in the field. Achieving these two ends will also help us attain the goal of our Designated National University proposal, which is to drive Tokyo Tech’s research quality to world-leading levels. This is why Tokyo Tech is devoting all its resources to cultivating and sending out Multi-Scope･Energy WISE Professionals into the world.

This course aims to develop human resources that can play an active part in the mechanical and electrical energy field through more advanced and applicable education of highly specialized subjects related to the energy sector.

The Nuclear System Safety Engineering Course curriculum is designed to equip human resources with the motivation and leadership skills required to ensure nuclear safety by system safety engineering. Based on the diverse disciplines, theoretical and practical studies on nuclear safety are made to enhance the system safety approach. Practical courses are also offered to students to help develop skills to communicate with non-experts and ordinary citizens.
