The Master’s in System Design and Management at Keio University’s Graduate School of System Design and Management (SDM) is a two‑year, interdisciplinary graduate program that trains students in systems engineering, design thinking, and comprehensive management skills to address complex real‑world problems across technological, social, and environmental domains. The curriculum blends core coursework on systems architecting and integration, verification and validation, and project management with hands‑on design projects, where students collaborate in groups to create innovative systems solutions for challenges like sustainable communities, safety, and system symbiosis. In addition to project‑based learning, students conduct research through “Research on System Design and Management” (their master’s thesis), often publishing outcomes and engaging with industry and academic partners. The program emphasizes the development of strategic analytical abilities, teamwork, communication, and leadership alongside technical and social insight, preparing graduates for careers in industry, consulting, government, research, and innovation leadership roles.
