Deepen Our Understandings of People and Society through the Knowledge, Wisdom, and Experience of “Information”

Department Information

The Department of Information and Communication Sciences cultivates the ability to comprehend both people and society based on information, the creativity to develop the knowledge and experience accumulated by humans and society, and the ability to construct an information society where every human being can live safely. While providing learning the fundamentals of science and technology, students will focus on various specialties from key themes: Human Information, Communication Information, Social Information, and Mathematical Information. Based on “cross-disciplinary knowledge,” which is a fusion of science and engineering, we provide students with specialized education that equips them with the ability to open up the future while adapting to a wide range of fields. By acquiring cross-disciplinary knowledge, students can become not only people who can apply the latest information and communication technology and develop useful systems but also internationally active scientists and engineers as well as educators who can nurture the next generation.

Curriculum

Students will take basic major courses from the Faculty of Science and Technology Common Subject Group to achieve “fundamental education” related to all aspects of science and engineering such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and informatics. The aim is to obtain “cross-disciplinary and flexible education” as part of their specialized education. Another feature is the emphasis on acquiring an interdisciplinary viewpoint based on natural science in collaboration with the human and social sciences. In the third and fourth years, students will select a specialized field of their interest from among four key themes for Department Specialized Courses. And they can still take courses from outside their selected streams. All students also take courses such as programming exercises, laboratory experiments on electric circuits and logical circuits, and mathematical exercises. By linking with the knowledge acquired in regular courses and solving problems, students can obtain the skills needed for practical situations.
