The Graduate School of Engineering Science, Yokohama National University, is an organization that conducts world-class research and advanced professional education through its research. The graduate school consists of three departments: the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, and Ocean Engineering; the Department of Chemistry and Life Science; and the Department of Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. They offer the following distinctive educational programs.
- Traditional TED programs, and PED programs with a focus on studio-based practical education

Approximately 750 master's and 170 doctoral students who have completed bachelor's and master's degree programs at a wide range of universities in Japan and abroad are engaged in academic studies to acquire problem-solving and creative thinking skills through participation in cutting-edge research, in addition to developing their basic academic skills. Many working graduate students are also enrolled.
The Graduate School of Engineering Science has institutionalized support for financial aid and educational and research activities. Support for doctoral course students to receive a living stipend has been expanded.
Graduates of the graduate school are active throughout the world as human resources contributing to the development of academia and industry. We hope that you will study at our campus in Yokohama, a cosmopolitan city with a high concentration of industry, yet remarkably lush and green, and that you will grow up to play an important role in the society of the future with repeated technological innovations.
