“Special International Program for Urban Infrastructure Engineering in Developing Countries (‘Civil and Development’ program)” and “International Graduate Program for Innovation of Civil Engineering through ICT technologies (‘Civil and ICT/IoT’ program)” are belonging to the Department of Infrastructure and Urban Society for the master course and Department of Urban Innovation for the doctor course in Graduate School of Urban Innovation, Yokohama National University. It is the all-English graduate program at the doctor and master level in the field of civil engineering.
We have initiated the program since 1989. The Japanese government (MEXT) scholarships have been collocated to the program as a priority, and at present, two MEXT scholarships for the master course and five MEXT scholarships for the doctor course are allocated every year for the “Civil and Development” program, and one MEXT scholarship for the master course and three MEXT scholarships for the doctor course are allocated every year for “Civil and ICT/IoT” program. The program is rather research-oriented although coursework (attending lectures) is required. Courses are offered in English, and all dissertation works including adviser's guidance, progress report, writing, and presentation in English.

Features of the Program
- Practical education and research in the field of urban communities
The Yokohama-Kanagawa area, where our university is located, is one of the largest metropolitan areas in Japan, with a residential area, a core of industries, diverse and complex terrain. This area has experienced challenges that cities around the world commonly have or may have in the future, and our faculty has accumulated the results of practical education and research in the field of urban communities. Taking advantage of this achievement, this program will carry out practical education and research to solve urban problems, which leads to foster practical human resources that will become one of the driving forces in the realization of metropolitan cities in developing countries.
- Global education with both Japanese and international students
Students will study in a multicultural environment with both Japanese and international students. All the instructions will be in English. Students will be able to acquire not only practical knowledge and techniques but also a dense network that will continue after returning home country with future Japanese researchers and engineers.
- Interdisciplinary education from an international perspective
In the Faculty of Urban Innovation, where this program belongs, not only professors in the civil engineering field but also professors who specialize in human and social science, such as international development studies, are also teaching together. Taking advantage of the characteristics of this interdisciplinary education and research organization, this program will carry out interdisciplinary “international urban infrastructure engineering” education linked with Yokohama urban social science on the basis of civil engineering and foster human resources with a multi-viewpoint that can cope with the increasingly complex societies.
