Undergraduate

During the 1st and 2nd years, students will acquire sufficient knowledge to interact with society by studying a wide range of liberal arts at the Minami-Osawa Campus. Students develop the basic skills necessary to acquire specialized knowledge through basic science subjects. In the introductory courses starting in their first year, students will learn the latest technologies, and in the second and subsequent years, they will take three specialized subject groups (i.e., basic theory, architecture, and content). In addition to mastering programming skills, we will also focus on data analysis and content processing exercises.

From 3rd year onward, they will move to Hino Campus and continue studying their specialized subjects. A student can develop his or her own expertise while learning these three subject groups in a well-balanced manner. In the experiments, along with advanced programming technology, data analysis and/or content processing, problem-solving, and presentation abilities will also be nurtured. In the 4th year, the students will take special studies (graduation research) under a supervisor. They will receive detailed guidance and gain experience in cutting-edge information technology research with one faculty member for every four students. They will develop problem-finding, problem-solving, discussion, and presentation skills.

Graduate Curriculum

Master's program

• By taking a wide variety of lecture courses covering the broad research fields of computer science, students acquire advanced specialized knowledge that enables them to keep pace with technological progress.
• The “Research Project Exercises,” which foster independent problem-solving skills, and the “Internship,” which lets students experience real-world R&D workplaces, develop the practical skills essential for carrying out research and development.
• Through research activities under the supervision of a professor, students acquire the ability to grasp the essence of the problems to be solved, to pursue original solutions from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, and to objectively verify and evaluate their results. Students also acquire practical international communication skills through presenting and publishing their research.

* The following courses are taught by the Computer Science faculty; students may also take courses offered by other programs of the Department of Systems Design.

Doctoral program

• Being involved in cutting-edge research activities fosters the ability to perform creative research and contribute to academic and intellectual development as a researcher.
• Students become international professionals with a broad perspective, advanced logical thinking, and practical international communication skills.
