Doctoral Program in Engineering

The human resources that Nagaoka University of Technology’s Doctoral Program aims to develop are leading engineers and researchers who possess in-depth and abundant knowledge in specialized fields, creativity to pioneer unexplored areas, and practical skills to independently implement their own research projects and contribute to society’s development. To achieve this aim, we have set the following four attributes as targets for students to attain by taking various major subjects and engaging in research activities.

  1. Research implementation abilities
    Advanced research implementation abilities to independently set one’s own research topics and systematically carry out research that can produce beneficial outcomes, as well as in-depth and abundant knowledge in specialized fields that serve as the foundation for research.
  2. Ability to pioneer unexplored areas
    Willingness and ability to take on the challenges of pioneering unexplored areas based on the integration of scientific principles from multiple specialized fields.
  3. Giving back to society through research findings
    Willingness and practical ability to link research findings to social development while gaining deep insight into the impact on society.
  4. Leadership to guide research and development
    Leadership skills that can contribute to society’s progress through research and development while collaborating with diverse entities based on insightful international perspectives and advanced conversational skills.

A doctoral degree will be conferred on students who have earned the number of credits needed for completion through subjects that facilitate the acquisition of the above targets, and have passed the doctoral dissertation screening based on the criteria stipulated by each major.
