U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

This is the specialization for the students of Civil Engineering, and for those who study Humanities / Social Sciences globally. Those aspiring to get Master of Engineering mainly study civil engineering, and those aspiring to get Master of Sciences mainly study humanities / social sciences, but it is possible for students to receive tuition in each other’s fields and to have an active exchange. This is a specialization that carries out multifaceted education with integration of the humanities and science.

Undergraduate students take college-wide common courses and basic courses of civil engineering in their junior year. College-wide common courses are composed of related courses in the basics of Urban Sciences and in the three fields of Global/Local, Risk Symbiosis, and Innovation as knowledge required for city planning and the development of urban societies. The senior class curriculum places emphasis on the more specialized or practical subjects including design and planning exercises. Work on the graduation thesis completes the undergraduate course.

Undergraduate students learn Civil Engineering especially by dealing with issues related to the urban society from a broad perspective, such as disaster prevention, international cooperation, and environment coexistence. The curriculum consists of the basic scientific principles of civil engineering, also, urban design, policy decision, and infrastructure management. Our department is then aimed at fostering engineers, planners, and researchers, who can deal with many kinds of issues in the urban societies in wide viewpoint including natural disasters, environmental issues.

To ensure safety and security in a sustainable society, it is necessary to consider the information environment—in other words, the framework for handling the information available to us—that society ought to adopt. This department challenges the limits of the information environment with regard to advanced information technologies and the security of information systems. Instead, it produces professionals that possess a proper understanding of the way in which people should deal with big data and fluency in conducting mathematical data analysis.

Undergraduate students take college-wide common courses and basic courses of risk management, natural and social environment in their junior year. College-wide common courses are composed of related courses in the basics of Urban Sciences and in the three fields of Global/Local, Risk Symbiosis, and Innovation as knowledge required for city planning and the development of urban societies. The senior class curriculum places emphasis on the more specialized or practical subjects including design and planning exercises. Work on the graduation thesis completes the undergraduate course.

Understanding basic principles about risks of natural and social environment, knowledge of society with risk coexistence that manages a balance between various risks and wealth appearing in close association is developed. Individuals with practical skills contributing to sustainable development of cities are nurtured. With interdisciplinary collaboration and sophistication to talk with the society, such individuals find ways to coexistence with risks of natural and social environment.

The studies conducted in this department address not only cities and industrial plants built with artificial structures, but also the way people live and interact with local communities. This program is designed to help students acquire an understanding of the advanced and practical engineering technologies that are required to ensure safety and security in the sustainable society that they help to create under an artificial environment, which is made up of humans and physical objects.

The sustainability of human society depends crucially on understanding the sustainability of the natural environment as society's foundation and the way to ensure its safety. Without limiting the focus of programs to the use and conservation of the living environment and the sustainability of eco-systems over the medium to long term, this department helps students to acquire the knowledge and skills required to take into account the environmental changes that have occurred throughout the history of the Earth and interactions with local communities.
