The Master’s in Civil Engineering and Architecture at the University of the Ryukyus (Graduate School of Engineering and Science) is a two-year Master of Engineering program designed to cultivate advanced professional and research skills in fields integral to building and sustaining resilient, sustainable, and environmentally integrated infrastructure and built environments. This program combines Civil Engineering and Architecture under a unified curriculum that leverages the unique subtropical island and oceanic environment of Okinawa for research and education, preparing students to address both regional and global challenges in infrastructure, disaster mitigation, environmental planning, and urban development. The civil engineering component focuses on planning and design of social infrastructure such as transportation systems, water and coastal systems, structural engineering, geotechnical and environmental engineering, and materials science, with an emphasis on sustainable infrastructure and disaster-resilient systems. The architecture component emphasizes architectural and urban planning, architectural environmental design, structural and seismic engineering for buildings, and materials and design research for comfortable and safe human environments. Across both areas, students engage in advanced coursework and supervised research culminating in a master’s thesis, gaining expertise in planning, analysis, design, construction, and management of civil and architectural systems for sustainable and resilient societies. The program aims to nurture engineers and researchers capable of contributing to society through innovation in infrastructure and architectural solutions that balance human needs with environmental stewardship.
