About The University of Aizu

Basic information and contact details for The University of Aizu

A message from the University of Aizu

The University of Aizu (UoA) was established in 1993, as the first university in Japan solely dedicated to computer science and engineering. Computer science and engineering is a cutting-edge research area with a broad range of applications and possibilities, and it is one of the core areas leading to intellectual production technology. We live our lives with the help of many computers. At the UoA, inter-laboratory research teams called "clusters" were established for fields of research. The research fields of UoA cover Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, IoT & Big Data, Cloud/Fog Computing, Space Science, Biomedical Engineering, and Computer Art. Research is promoted to meet social needs, so that the UoA can contribute to development of local industries and creation of new businesses based on its achievements. The UoA is seeking individuals who think globally and take on new challenges in the field of computer science and engineering.

Since 2014, the UoA has been included in an elite group of universities, chosen by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as a Top Global University. The UoA has the following three characteristics:

1) Globalized environment

  • Top-level faculty are recruited from all over the world (at present 17 countries), and the ratio of international faculty members is about 40%.
  • A multicultural environment leads students to understand the diversity of the world.
  • Academic exchange partnerships connect us with 70 universities in 19 countries, helping the ratio of international students to increase.
  • English is used as an official language for education and university operations.

2) Comprehensive majors for computer science and engineering

  • A high-quality curriculum with five fields has been designed for realization of student's future career paths.
  • Various support and special programs are provided to students, for example, Student Cooperative Class Projects (SCCPs), venture start-up workshops, programming contest training, and career design.
  • Content-rich English for ICT Education – most lectures, seminars, and research projects are offered in English.
  • The student–faculty ratio of undergraduate school is 9.5:1, small-group education that provides students with more opportunities of having direct discussions with professors.
  • A variety of International Dual Degree Programs can help students to obtain dual degrees from our university and a relevant partner university.

3) Spirit of innovation and start-up

  • Among all public universities in Japan, our university is ranked No.1 in the number of university-originated start-up companies.
  • UoA actively collaborates with regional industries, and enthusiasm about start-up entrepreneurship is widespread.
  • UoA provides a set of internship programs in overseas countries and regions, and students can visit Silicon Valley via the program, increasing their entrepreneur spirit through interaction with researchers and engineers there.
  • Courses for entrepreneurship in both the undergraduate school and graduate school are provided.

In the past three years, the average employment rate of undergraduates has been 95.2%, and the employment rate of Master students has been 100%. If you are interested in the ICT program at the UoA, apply and let's learn the most advanced ICT knowledge together to change the world and create a better future!
