Graduate School of Information Science and Technology
Master of Information Science and Technology
Outline and Features
Master's Program
Our goal is to develop internationally active advanced engineers and professionals who have advanced vocational skills. This goal will be achieved by providing students with opportunities to acquire the skills necessary to perform highly specialized tasks, in addition to the scholarly knowledge that serves as their foundation.
The program offers education and research opportunities across specialist fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), data science, computer science, software engineering, information systems, information media, cyber physical systems, and communications networks, as well as the basic field of information.
To develop advanced software engineers and successful project managers, practical education and internship opportunities involving the creation of large-scale cloud computing systems are encouraged via the “Cloud Spiral Program Initiative for Reality-based Advanced Learning.” Also to develop advanced AI engineers, and data scientists, practical learning is encouraged toward the integration of the sciences and the humanities, which will change societal and business structures. This is a joint education project carried out with other universities and private enterprises.
Doctoral Program
Research and educational goals
Our goals are to produce skilled researchers who will be active on the frontlines of science. We provide further academic opportunities for these already working to become further professionals possessing advanced vocational skills.
The program offers education and research opportunities in the three specialist fields of computer engineering and software including artificial intelligence and data science, recognition and information media, and information systems and communications networks.
