The Innovative Global Program (IGP), offered at Shibaura Institute of Technology's College of Engineering, provides students with a research-focused engineering education in English within an attractive multicultural and multidisciplinary environment.
Students of IGP join a research laboratory from their first year. They immerse themselves in a hands-on learning environment. At the same time, they start taking a variety of courses in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, humanities, and physical education. Japanese language courses are also offered at many levels so as to equip students with language skills.
From their second year, IGP students are given the chance to conduct short visits to different laboratories to gain knowledge across different fields of engineering, while continuing to progress in their own research domain through laboratory work and specialized courses.
Third-year and fourth-year students work on their graduation thesis projects at an accelerated pace. They acquire technical and collaborative skills, as well as the ability to adapt rapidly to technological changes. In addition, they are equipped with a strong ethical understanding that enables them to make ethical decisions in engineering.
At the end of the program, IGP students will earn a Bachelor's degree in Engineering. They will have the skills to tackle challenging engineering problems in Japan and across the world.
