电气通信大学 (UEC-东京)

The University of Electro-Communications (UEC) is one of the national universities in Japan specializing in the study of science and engineering. UEC is located in the heart of Chofu-city, Tokyo, and provides attractive learning facilities that integrate cutting-edge research and innovative education.

With the development of advanced information and sharp economic growth and expansion, UEC engages in a wide range of education and research corresponding to the fundamental and technological aspects of science and engineering fields, such as physical engineering, material science, life science, optical science, electronics, robotics, mechanical engineering, and media. As a result of society’s needs, UEC graduates have had significantly promised career paths, and the employment rates of graduates have remained nearly 100 percent in recent years.

UEC has a diverse student body of 5,000 students who come from nationwide. As for international exchange, approximately 300 inbound international students from more than 30 countries are enrolled in a variety of programs. UEC offers an interdisciplinary short-term exchange study program called the Japanese University Studies in Science & Technology (JUSST). It is implemented for international students from overseas partner universities and is specially designed for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of informatics, science, and engineering. The JUSST program can provide an opportunity to learn science and engineering at UEC without interrupting students’ ongoing major studies at their home institutions.

The Joint Doctoral Program for Sustainability Research is an integrated program jointly offered by Tokyo University of Agriculture, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies and Technology, and University of Electro-Communications was launched in April 2019. This new program aims to develop human resources who will contribute to solving the problems the international society faces such as environment and energy, production and consumption, labor, hunger and poverty. In order to do this, the three universities combines their respective educational and research resource-related strengths, and develop doctoral level human resources knowledgeable in both the humanities and the sciences.
