Graduate School of Information Science and Technology Department of Information Sciences

The Graduate School of Information Science and Technology aims to develop talented individuals who are internationally qualified, highly knowledgeable, creative, and entrepreneurial (venture minded) in order to meet the social needs of the IT (information and communication technology) era. The system allows students to choose from a wide variety of study courses, based on the principle of unearthing students' potential abilities and cultivating the attitude and habit of actively taking initiative in everything from the selection of study subjects and materials to the method. In addition, there is a scholarship system that provides outstanding students who wish to enter the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology with a scholarship equivalent to the annual tuition fee.
After completing the course, students can choose their career path from two options: production engineering, which involves manufacturing computer hardware, devices incorporating computers, or computer-controlled systems, or service engineering, which involves software, content business, information systems, or communication network services. Students can choose the content of their studies based on which they are more interested in, and this will efficiently develop them into highly advanced IT professionals. In addition, many of our faculty members have worked for companies, and our ability to provide education based on practical experience is a major strength.
We also hope that students will progress to the doctoral program, which began in April 2002, and pursue a career as engineers and researchers in advanced information science. The Faculty of Information Science and Technology places emphasis on fundamental academic studies, such as natural sciences. We also aim to develop individuals who understand the role that information plays in enriching society, and who are equipped with deep knowledge and culture along with accurate judgment.
