Career after Graduation


Pursuing Higher Studies

Upon successful completion of the Bachelor's Program in Interdisciplinary Engineering (IDE), students have several options, including the opportunity to further advance their studies at the graduate level. In fact, approximately 85% of graduates from the School of Science and Engineering at the University of Tsukuba continue their education by enrolling in graduate programs in Japan and abroad. At the University of Tsukuba, they can choose to enroll in a two-year master's program, followed by a three-year doctoral program, offered by either the Graduate School of Pure and Applied Sciences or the Graduate School of System and Information Engineering.


Graduate Degree Programs Abroad

Apart from University of Tsukuba, to date, our IDE graduates have been accepted to various departments at prestigious graduate schools across Europe and the USA, including the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas at Austin, University of California Irvine, University of California Riverside, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Linköping University, Delft University of Technology, Imperial College London, and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

The diverse academic paths our alumni have pursued in numerous technological fields are a testament to the strong interdisciplinary foundation provided by our IDE program.

Career Paths after Graduation

Adhering to the foundational principles of the University of Tsukuba, the institution actively fosters individuals who embody qualities such as internationality, future vision, and problem-solving abilities. IDE graduates, in particular, are expected to demonstrate remarkable ambition and progressive attributes owing to their education in diverse fields. Consequently, those who opt to pursue personal career paths immediately after completing the Interdisciplinary Engineering Program will be highly sought after across a wide spectrum of sectors, encompassing academia, industry, as well as the public and private sectors.
