Education Principles

Education and research areas

・Infrastructure designing, constructing and managing.

・Community and city planning and environment managing. 

・Building and community designing, living space designing. 

To be a specialist in above three areas, the basic knowledge of mathematics, information technology, structural, soil and hydraulic mechanics, specific knowledge of structural, geotechnical, water and city planning engineering and architecture as well as the understanding of earth environment are required. Furthermore, since the most civil engineering and architecture projects need term-works, the abilities of communication and presentation, and high level of culture are essential. 

Graduate Program/Professional Education

Civil Engineering course and Architectural Design Course, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Saga University, offers 2 years Master course and 3 years Doctoral course to train high level qualified experts in civil engineering and architecture.

Civil Engineering Course

Professional engineers for designing, constructing and managing of infrastructure projects, and specialists for environment preservations.

Architectural Design Course

Professional architects , Community and city designers (planner) and Engineers for architectural environment.

Master course

We offer two master programs. One is mainly for Japanese students, which starts at the beginning of April each year, and most of the subjects are given in Japanese. Another is tThe Education Program of Advanced T-shaped Person for Co-development of ASEAN and Japan (EPAT) in Environmental, Energy and Health Science provides all lectures, seminars, and internships, etc. on global environmental, energy problems and health expertise in English for both foreign and Japanese students. Students from overseas can learn and study completely in Japan without a hurdle of Japanese language. The EPAT is an educational course in the Graduate School of Science and Engineering and Graduate School of Advanced Health Science, in order to bring up global researchers and engineers who will contribute to the environmental, energy and health science. which is for both foreign students and Japanese students. The students can join EPAT from April or October each year. All subjects of EPAT program are given in English.
