Engineering (Graduate)

Lead the Next Generation of Engineering to a New Frontier

Facing the rapid structural reforms in society and industry head-on, KUAS Graduate School of Engineering nurtures engineers with elite skills and knowledge, ensuring that they will become international leaders in the field of science and technology for their generation.
In recent times, we have seen rapid changes to our world, with advancements in technology markets that did not exist in the past – including robotics, drones, and electric cars. Furthermore, industries in the future will be supported by systems based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data, and they will be inter-connected through the Internet of Things (IoT). This has resulted in a strong demand for a new approach to educating the engineers of the future, as engineering is the foundation of industry and key to the emergence of new disciplines.
Conventional learning commonly follows an “analytical” approach in which one studies and deepens one’s knowledge in a particular academic field to explore the essence of phenomena and discover basic truths. KUAS Graduate School of Engineering aims to transcend such conventional ways, moving towards a “synthetic” approach where one establishes new systems and concepts based on multiple truths from different academic disciplines. Our program aims to educate synthetic engineers as part of what we believe is a new global paradigm. The mission of our engineering department and graduate school is to cultivate thinkers who can create new technology platforms and academic fields that will sustain those platforms for decades to come.

Dean’s Message

Post-graduate studies are about freedom and assertiveness. The freedom to explore, to be inventive, even make mistakes and follow the learning path you progressively devise for yourself.
And the assertion of your own perception of how you can best contribute to the advancement and betterment of society.
Post-graduate students include not only applicants straight out of an undergraduate degree. Professionals wanting to increase their chances of growth, people with a special flair or interest, or those who simply did not have the chance earlier on, all are enthused by a uniquely tailored research-based course of studies.
Whatever your reasons may be, KUAS Eng offers multi- and inter-disciplinary master’s and doctoral programs, organized around the four pillars of Energy, Information, Materials and Systems, which will challenge and enrich you. Our initial focus is to guide you closely through your first year; subsequently, we look forward to benefiting from your original insights and research findings.
