100 Best universities for Mechanical Engineering in Japan

Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Japan ranked based on their research performance in Mechanical Engineering. A graph of 6.99M citations received by 504K academic papers made by 322 universities in Japan was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
