Graduate School of Science and Engineering

Master’s Course

NDA established the Graduate School of Science and Engineering in 1962 to offer advanced courses mainly to officers of JSDF. Later, the school was reorganized and expanded to seven departments, covering 55 areas of study(See Table attached below).

The master’s course of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering admits students who pass a selective examination and requires two years of study for the master’s degree.

Most of the graduate students live on the academy campus during their two-year course of study.

In order to graduate, students are required to earn a minimum of 30 credits in both required and elective subjects, to write a thesis in their area of specialization, and to pass their degree examinations.

Moreover they can receive a master’s degree after they pass their examinations of the National Institution for Academic Degrees and University Evaluation (NIAD-UE)
