Graduate School of Engineering and Faculty of Engineering (京都大学大学院工学研究科・工学部) is one of schools at the Kyoto University. The Faculty ( Undergraduate) and the Graduate School operate as one.
According to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2020 in the field of Engineering & Technology, KU is ranked third in Japan after University of Tokyo and TokyoTech. [1]
History
In 1897, College of Science and Engineering (理工科大学) was established with the establishment of Imperial University of Kyoto. [2] It was divided into College of Engineering (工科大学) and College of Science in 1914. [2]
College of Engineering was reorganized into Faculty of Engineering (工学部) in 1919. [2]
In 1953, Graduate School of Engineering (工学研究科) was established. [2] [3]
In the 1990s, A four-year plan to emphasize graduate school education was implemented and some departments were converted into independent graduate schools; Graduate School of Energy Science was established in 1996 and Graduate School of Informatics in 1998. [2] [3]
