2.Features of University
Ritsumeikan’s history dates back to the establishment of a private academy in 1869 by Prince Kinmochi
Saionji, an eminent international statesman of modern Japan and advocate of Freedom and
Internationalism. In 1900, Prince Saionji’s protégé, Kojuro Nakagawa, preserved his mentor’s ideals and
established the Kyoto Hosei School, an evening law school that was open to working people. With Prince
Saionji’s blessing, the name of this school was changed to Ritsumeikan Private University in 1913. At
present, the Kinugasa and Suzaku campuses in Kyoto, as well as at the Biwako-Kusatsu Campus in
Shiga prefecture, are home to nearly 36,000 students learning under the core educational philosophy of
Peace and Democracy. Ritsumeikan seeks to nurture just and ethical global citizens and is working to
foster creativity and the development of individual talents on a solid foundation of academic achievement.
Research Advancement: Ritsumeikan University is actively engaged in producing world-class research
and fostering researchers who have the skills to succeed in the international arena. Recognizing that
contemporary issues extend beyond existing fields of research, Ritsumeikan promotes multidisciplinary
cooperation. A number of Ritsumeikan University research projects have been selected as part of the
Global Centers of Excellence (COE) and 21st Century COE programs, and the university works daily to
strengthen its network of researchers, both in Japan and overseas.

Department of Civil Engineering
Protecting people's lives is not the exclusive territory of the field of medicine. Urban infrastructures (and
social infrastructures) have to be designed well for people to be safe. It is the goal of the new Department
of Civil Engineering to promote engineering that protects people's lives and ensures their safety. All over
the world, societies face various challenges including natural disasters, traffic challenges, and
environmental catastrophes. Urban restoration planning and disaster prevention efforts aimed at
improving safety have to be undertaken for people to live safe and comfortable lives. Recently, there has
been increasing demands on engineers to maintain and manage the infrastructure not only in the narrow
sense of roads and bridges, but also in the broader sense that includes the cultural treasures and cultural
properties of cities. New engineers and technicians are expected to become active in developing
proposals for new urban transportation systems and waterside spaces with enriching urban attractions.
The new Department of Civil Engineering strives to teach students the essentials of the continuous flow
from the urban planning phase to design, construction, and maintenance, and helps them learn the skills
they need for managing the entire process. As a foundation for mastering these skills, students will gain
knowledge of theoretical principles, mechanical basics, and the social sciences. This is your chance to
become an engineer who will build the urban systems of the future.

Department of Environmental Systems
This department is working with other disciplines to seek solutions to the global environmental problems
being faced in the 21st century in an environment of open engineering. Environmental Systems
Engineering aims to create new and useful activity spaces.
Addressing these kinds of issues requires diverse perspectives that break from conventional constraints
and go beyond the frameworks of existing disciplines and scientific frameworks. Experts must be able to
look multilaterally and comprehensively at the relationship between human beings and nature or society
from a broad perspective. Since the global environment is made up of complex systems, we must
approach the problems of the environment with an understanding of those underlying systems. Solving
those problems will require the combination and integration of the academic findings and technological
methods of many disciplines. In the Department of Environmental Systems Engineering, students gain a
broad base of scientific knowledge while learning engineering analysis methods and systemization
technologies. Also, by studying these topics in conjunction with social sciences such as environmental
economics, students can learn how to create the best social environments. Students are encouraged to
take the lead in creating new environments.
Many graduates of this department are active in occupations in their fields of specialty, and active
partnerships have developed between alumni and the university, as well as between groups of alumni.
About half of graduates proceed to graduate school where they acquire specialized research skills.
Department of Architecture and Urban Design
Ritsumeikan University

While safety and comfort are important in the design of buildings and cities, so are beauty and historical
context. After a high-growth period, as Japan developed into a more mature society, the demand grew for
buildings and cities that offered not only efficiency, but also features of cultural perspective, comfort, and
charm. Of course, increasing importance is being placed on barrier-free and environmentally friendly
features. This department was established for the purpose of meeting these new needs in the fields of
architecture and urban design, and cultivating human resources that can address the complex issues
being faced in this field. We are striving to achieve a more intimate connection between the fields of
architecture and urban design than has existed in the past, and are offering a curriculum that allows
students to study a broader range of related fields.
The curriculum is centered around two main axes: construction design; and city and landscape design.
We have established specialized fields in history, the environment and building engineering, the study of
structures, materials science, and construction and management technologies, and we have created an
education and research system that allows students to study the field of architecture and urban design as
an integrated whole. We have established a full range of specialized courses in the fields of history,
landscape maintenance, building planning and design, urban and environmental design, the environment
and buildings, structures, and production and construction, and are also striving to develop our practicum
courses. By enabling students to develop their knowledge in lecture courses, and obtain real-life, practical
training in practicum courses, we hope to equip them with the specialized capabilities and skills that they
need to become specialists in the fields of architecture design and urban design.
Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
The technological field covered by the broad category of Electrical, Electronic and Photonic Engineering
is one of the fundamental engineering infrastructures supporting modern society. It is an indispensable
and important system of technology for creating new technology and developing new, specialized fields in
the future. In the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, professors provide instruction in a
range of subjects to enable students to acquire basic knowledge of specialized field and to master

problem-solving and technological expertise, gained through practical research, who are able to
contribute positively to the advancement of society. Studies advance in progressive steps from a base in
mathematics, electronics, and circuitry, through specialized knowledge in computers and software, to
applied knowledge in network transmission and LSI. Students further polish their practical, technological
expertise through seminars in complete circuit planning and programming.
Department of Mechanical Engineering
Modern life is based on the daily support of cutting edge technology, such as materials that their retain
strength under ultra-high temperature environments, control systems that mimic the human brain's ability
to make flexible decisions, high-efficiency engines that dramatically reduce air pollutant emission, and
ultra-precise micro- and nano-scale machine component fabrication technology. The Department of
Mechanical Engineering aims to develop researchers and technical experts with practical skills in this
cutting edge technological research and development.
Department of Robotics
The Department of Robotics was established in 1996 to engage in robotics research and education, and
was the first of its kind in Japan. The program has since produced nearly 1,000 graduates, who are active
in a broad range of fields including mechanical and electrical engineering, information technology, and
human science.
The curriculum at the Department of Robotics features the balanced study of diverse fields including
Ritsumeikan University
