To applicants and guardians

It goes without saying that with the widespread use of smartphones and the internet, IT technology has become the foundation of our lives. We also have more opportunities to see and hear various news about big data analysis and artificial intelligence. These technologies will greatly change the world in the future.

Therefore, the Department of Department of Information Technology prioritizes acquiring the computer skills essential for utilizing technologies such as IT and artificial intelligence, and has constructed a curriculum with the simplest possible subject structure to achieve this. Here, instead of an introduction, I would like to introduce the various pages on the Department of Department of Information Technology 's website.

What subjects will you study?

First, take a look at the specialized subjects you will study in the Department of Department of Information Technology. What I would like you to pay particular attention to is that many courses incorporate learning through the use and development of programs. The Department of Department of Information Technology has the fewest credits offered among the faculties, but by studying this curriculum which is packed with abundant practical exercises, after four years you will feel that the single laptop you use under the BYOD system has become an indispensable and very powerful toolbox for you.

Cutting-edge research applicable to the information and communication field

Here are some of the themes you can work on for your graduation research. More details will be provided at the open campus event.

To companies considering hiring graduates from Department of Information Technology:

The Department of Department of Information Technology sent off its first graduating class in April 2021. We are deeply grateful for the numerous job offers we received. The pace of IT technology is dizzying, and with the rise of artificial intelligence in recent years, it is impossible to predict which technologies will become mainstream in the future. However, in any case, a strong foundation in mathematics is undoubtedly essential for engineers in the information and communication field.

Therefore, in the Department of Information Technology, we focus on the fundamental mathematical skills required of information and communication engineers, and we have prepared a curriculum that allows students to acquire these skills through numerous practical exercises.

For example, probability and statistics, linear algebra, differential and integral calculus, optimization methods, and data science are necessary to understand artificial intelligence technology.

Furthermore, both the AO (Admissions Office) and general entrance examinations have placed a strong emphasis on mathematical ability.

Furthermore, since the 2021 academic year, we have been utilizing the BYOD system to provide education that emphasizes practical skills in flexibly utilizing IT technology. As mentioned above, we adhere to a policy of deeply studying carefully selected content to avoid a superficial approach, thereby cultivating both technical skills and academic abilities. Concepts and knowledge of networks and servers will also be acquired here. If you agree with the educational philosophy of this department, we would appreciate your guidance and cooperation in helping us to send outstanding individuals into society in the future.

We would appreciate your support for Faculty of Engineering and Department of Information Technology at Tohoku Gakuin University.
