Global Network

World-class network among 8 universities

In the Department of Materials Engineering, we are building an education and research network with the Department of Materials Engineering of 7 world-class universities. This network synergistically develops and enhances both education and research on materials, and actively engages in exchanges by holding workshops, dispatching students, and inviting faculty members.

  • UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy

  • NATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITY Department of Materials Science & Engineering

  • ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE Materials Institute

  • TSINGHUA UNIVERSITY School of Materials Science & Engineering

  • SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY Department of Materials Science & Engineering

  • UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO Department of Materials Science & Engineering

  • MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Department of Materials Science & Engineering

UTokyo & MIT Student Exchange Program

Departments of Materials Engineering of UTokyo and MIT have been collaborating by a half-year exchange program for undergraduate students.

Dispatch & Acceptance of Professors

Dispatch and acceptance of professors are actively performed for education and research at laboratory and department level. From the University of Cambridge, faculty members of Materials Science and Metallurgy have stayed in our department for several long periods of time and are still conducting joint research. Faculty members from MIT, University of Toronto, Tsinghua University, and Seoul National University also have a track record of long-term stays. In addition, based on the 10-year-lasting student workshops with Tsinghua University and Seoul National University, we have dispatched faculty members to and from the Department of Materials Engineering. The dispatched faculty members give lectures for graduate students as part of the training of young researchers, and also discuss with faculty members in related fields at the dispatched destination to further strengthen the research cooperation.

Lectures & Seminars

We held lectures and seminars by distinguished professors who have been interacting with us for many years in the field of materials engineering. In recent years, there are many opportunities to recognize the global trends in material engineering research through the lectures and seminars by the invited researchers and professors due to the expansion of new networks.

European University Visiting Program

For undergraduate students in our department, we offer an overseas university visiting program for attending lectures and exchanging students by visiting several prestigious universities in Europe, such as University of Cambridge, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and École nationale des ponts et chaussées (ENPC). Some students go on to the graduate school of European University triggered by fruitful experiences in this program.
