Nagoya University—positioned in the same region as global giants like Toyota and Denso—offers a premier Automotive Engineering curriculum through its Global 30 (G30) International Programs. Taught entirely in English, the program is designed to cultivate the next generation of engineers capable of leading the CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric) revolution. Students choose between two specialized tracks: Mechanical Engineering or Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering. While the university provides elite academic instruction, access to the National Innovation Complex, and official B.Eng. or M.Eng. degrees, Edulux Summer manages the high-end logistics and travel services required for your stay in Nagoya.
