Founded in 1897, Kyoto University has been known as the leading research university in Japan. The university’s policy of “academic freedom” values students’ independence and interactive learning to pursue their interests and to stay open-minded to all kinds of ideas in their studies. Under this policy, many outstanding researchers and students in diverse disciplines from all over the world work together at the university creating a rich, stimulating academic environment. Students enjoy pursuing their studies in Kyoto, where tradition and innovation, city, and nature co-exist with each other.

A 4-year program taught in English, leading to the bachelor of engineering.
Graduate programs:
There are 18 graduate schools. A wide range of programs are available in English (including those that are not registered as “English-taught degree programs”).
