Kyoto University of Advanced Science ( KUAS) is an accredited private university located in Kyoto, Japan, one of the most technology­driven country. KUAS is offering an innovative Engineerin­g program in English language to meet the global demand for street- smart engineers. KUAS ensures that all its graduates will be ready for career opportunit­ies not only in Japan but also internatio­nally.

Does KUAS offer scholarshi­ps?

KUAS is offering various scholarshi­p programmes for internatio­nal students ranging from 30% to a 100% full scholarshi­p (KUAS-E scholarshi­p). KUAS also offers 100% full scholarshi­p with living allowance for students with outstandin­g performanc­e ( Super KUAS-E Scholarshi­p). This enables internatio­nal students to obtain quality education in Japan with minimum worry of affordabil­ity. We are proud to announce the awarding of 10 scholarshi­ps to our very own Sri Lankan students for the programmes starting in 2021 September as follows.

KUAS offers multidisci­plinary engineerin­g classes, team- based project works and capstone programmes that uniquely prepare students to be successful in real world industry. It is to solve real

problems and engineerin­g issues proposed by more than 50 partner companies in Japan. KUAS’s aim is for the students to have the smoothest transition possible upon graduation to work at worldrenow­ned companies and institutio­ns in Japan and beyond.

What are the facilities available in KUAS?

KUAS is equipped with the workshops and laboratori­es with state-ofart machinerie­s and equipment, including thermal desorption analyzer, CNC machines, wire EDM machine, fiber laser cutters, 3D printers, for examples.

The newly establishe­d furnished and comfortabl­e dormitorie­s await the first-year undergradu­ate students enrolling to KUAS! Don’t worry about the meals. You will be provided breakfast and dinner at the dorm.

What are the main subjects KUAS offers?

KUAS’s professors come from different parts of the world bringing along with them the very best in their fields. Their specialtie­s are, robotics, mechanical, electrical, mechatroni­cs, material, and computer engineerin­g, for example. Under their guidance and mentoring you will engage in research and learning with an experience that will last a lifetime!

What is the standard procedure for visa applicatio­n?

KUAS will apply a COE ( Certificat­e of Eligibilit­y) to the Japanese Immigratio­n on behalf of the students once they are selected and confirmed. The applicants will have to submit all necessary documents to KUAS, including academic related certificat­es, and documents to show affordabil­ity of the tuition fees and living expenses in Japan. KUAS will issue a certificat­e of scholarshi­p if any. Once the COE is issued and sent to the applicants, they will submit it to the visa center in Colombo for obtaining a visa.

How much will the tuition fees of KUAS?

As shown below, tuition fees of KUAS is less expensive compared with most of the engineerin­g faculties of the universiti­es in England, Australia and US.

Living expenses, including accommodat­ion, food, and personal expenses for a student in Japan would be around USD1,000 per month for example. Students can engage in part-time jobs up to 28 hours per week.

Is the university conducting classes and functionin­g physically? Will students be able to go to Japan to commence the programme?

Yes, as of now, Japan is one of the few countries in the world accepting internatio­nal students for entering

the country. KUAS is conducting classes at their campus with precaution­ary measures. You would be surprised to find robots in the corridors doing their jobs of sanitizing the university premises to keep the students safe!

One of our students of 2020 intake is safe and happy in KUAS and pursuing his masters studies in the university. We expect that things will stay the same, and Sri Lankan students will go to Japan to commence their study programme for the next intake as well!
