Guide to entrance examination of FY2025
Master’s and Doctoral Programs

The Department of Materials Engineering is recruiting 45 master’s students and 20 doctoral students. In response to the expansion of the field of materials engineering in recent years, we welcome the applicants who not only have been educated in materials engineering, but also have learned the basics of materials engineering such as physics and chemistry, and who are willing to learn materials engineering from the standpoint of applying it to bio / mechanical / electronic devices. Please refer to the Graduate School of Engineering website (https://www.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/soe/admission/general-number) for the number of applicants and successful applicants last year.

Examination Content

[Master’s course]

The entrance examination is based on the Foreign Language (English) by submitting the official score of TOEFL or TOEIC L&R , the written examination (regular education subjects and fundamentals of materials), and the oral examination. The entrance examination for the master’s program is conducted with the same subjects for all examinees.

[Doctoral course]

The entrance examination is based on the Foreign Language (English) by submitting the official score of TOEFL or TOEIC L&R , the written examination (fundamentals of materials), and the oral examination. However, for those who have completed or are expected to complete the master’s program in the Department of Mining and Metallurgy, Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Department of Materials Science, and Department of Materials Engineering at the Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo, the Foreign Language (English) and the written examination will be omitted. For those who have completed or are expected to complete the master’s program at the other departments of Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo, the Foreign Language (English) will be omitted. The problems in the written examination are the same as those for the Master’s course.
In the Environment Management Engineering Course, we are recruiting company employees who wish to be enrolled on the theme of environmental management and related research. (Refer to the attached table at the end of the Guide to Entrance Examination (PDF))
Applicants for the Doctoral program should contact the possible supervisor of interest in advance and gain approval for the supervision by the time the application is submitted, and explain the reason for the application upon the oral examination.
