• VR environment inside a vehicle cabin for measuring emotional responses (industry-academia collaboration)

 

 

Shaping the Future with Information Engineering

In response to the growing societal demand for advanced information technologies, we plan to establish a new Master’s Program (with a capacity of 45 students) in the Graduate School of Information Engineering in April 2026, building on the educational foundation laid by the Faculty of Information Engineering established in 2022.

In this program, students will cultivate a broad perspective and deep expertise across four specialized fields. Through opportunities such as presenting at academic conferences both in Japan and abroad, as well as participating in international exchange programs, students will develop a global outlook. The goal is to nurture engineers and researchers who can contribute to society through the application of information technology.

Graduates of the Master’s Program are expected to play active roles in a wide range of industries, including information services, telecommunications, manufacturing, and media. Advancement to doctoral studies is also an available path.

 

TOPICS

• 1)Toward the Heart of “Creative and Practical Learning”

  Inheriting the DNA of the Graduate School of Science and Technology, which has produced Nobel laureates, we take on the challenge of conducting high-level, socially impactful research rooted in the spirit of creative and practical learning.

• 2)Welcoming International Students

  We actively welcome students from diverse cultural backgrounds and foster an environment where they can engage in research together, inspiring one another and transcending differences in values. Through this, we aim to cultivate globally minded individuals who can thrive in the international community.

• 3)Welcoming Working Professionals

  We welcome working professionals who wish to enhance their skills—such as applying AI or learning core technologies for digital transformation (DX)—by providing opportunities to study while continuing their careers.

• 
  Encouraging research presentations at international conferences
• 
  VR experiments conducted at a university in Thailand
• 
  Numerous awards received at academic conferences
