BA/BS in Information Technology Course

The Information Technology course (情報学系情報コース) in the Faculty of Engineering teaches students to operate computers with confidence, from fundamental computing skills to modern artificial intelligence. Its aim is to develop the ability to solve social problems through technology, combining specialist knowledge with a broad perspective and applied skills. Lectures are complemented by a large number of hands-on practical subjects. IT is now essential to business, services, publishing, education, healthcare and public works, so the course emphasises both how to use IT equipment effectively and how to create new technologies. Research includes an AI-based driving simulator that studies when and how a vehicle assistant should speak to a driver safely. Graduates typically work as systems engineers, application engineers or programmers, designing, building and testing software for clients. Students can also prepare for recognised information-technology and multimedia qualifications.
