School of Informatics, Management, and Human SciencesCurriculum of Open Sciences
“Open Scientification” of Informatics
Our Beliefs
It is vital for students to learn about issues that face the natural world, humans, culture, and society, and to situate their research topic within these issues. This process is as important as enhancing students’expertise through research activities. Acquiring these skills is essential for becoming global leaders and creating new technologies, social values, and knowledge. The Curriculum of Open Sciences aims to develop students’academic expertise in their chosen discipline and accurately grasp its background and its social impact. In particular, students should learn to grapple with problems from an interdisciplinary lens, be conscious of social issues, be active internationally, explore practical approaches to addressing social and technological challenges, and propose solutions to these complex problems. The final goal of the curriculum is to develop talented individuals who can pierce through the boundaries of their specialization and impact the academic world, industry, and societies around the world.
Curriculum
The curriculum aims to develop each student’s expertise in their specialization, and improve their ability to think broadly. Students should be aware of real-world issues, gain an international perspective on these topics through global collaboration, and learn practical skills for conducting research and personal growth. The core education and research areas covered by this program are information technology, such as computer science, communication, and artificial intelligence, as well as courses related to the natural world, humans, culture, and society. Interdisciplinary education and research are also emphasized as ways to help students confront these real-world issues. A crucial component of the curriculum is cultivating discussions among students with various specializations and research topics. These discussions are vital for each student to pursue their research with both academic depth and breadth.
School of Informatics, Management, and Human SciencesCurriculum of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Crafting management tools for social systems through ingenuity and diversity
Our Beliefs
The Curriculum of Industrial and Systems Engineering is an advanced program that explores management engineering from interdisciplinary perspectives based on the four major management resources used in social systems: people, goods, information, and capital. The curriculum provides an environment in which students can systematically acquire cutting-edge theories and technologies based on four core academic areas: humans and systems, applied statistics and optimization, information science and artificial intelligence, and management and economics. Through these areas, students will become the next generation of interdisciplinary thought leaders, developing innovative systems and applied technologies to solve real-world problems.
Curriculum
In the Curriculum of Industrial and Systems Engineering, students are encouraged to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills by taking systematic courses in the four core academic areas. Students will also take Graduate Research 1 and 2, to engage in cutting-edge research under the mentorship of faculty members, which will form their master’s thesis. To gain a deep understanding of the complexity of human interactions and social systems, and to develop innovative problem-solving skills, students must learn how to draw on the synergy that exists between management engineering and pursuing cutting-edge research. This curriculum combines theoretical and practical education and will foster experts who can contribute new perspectives to society.
