The Graduate Department of Computer and Information Systems has its foundation in the education and research of School of Computer Science and Engineering, and the graduate department aims to teach and research the structures and functions of information processed by solving actual problems using computer systems.
Problem-solving-approach curriculum is designed for students to proceed researches in two years and offers “Thesis Research” course, writing Master’s Theses, as a required course. 20 percent of total required academic credits are allocated to “Thesis Research” course.
Fields of Study (FoS) had reorganized in AY2012 due to introduction of new curriculum to the Graduate School. This Graduate Department holds 5 Fields of Study.
○Field of Study CS （Computer Science）
○Field of Study SY （Computer System）
○Field of Study CN （Computer Network Systems）
○Field of Study IT （Applied Information Technologies）
○Field of Study SE （Software Engineering）
These Field of Study are accordingly designed to the Undergraduate curriculum. Therefore, students will be able to make consecutive research plan throughout undergraduate-graduate school programs and develop expertise systematically.
Students will be expected to acquire basic skills required for effective use of the most advanced computer systems and intelligent systems, and to study the fundamental theories which stand at the center of computer science and engineering acquired through the extraction of essential elements from various phenomena. Such study and research should be pursued with an awareness of the practical application of theories in operational systems.
FoS CS offers comparable courses to Undergraduate School’s Computer Science Fundamentals Track (CF) and Computational Modeling Track (CM). (br/) CF (Computer Science Fundamentals)
CM (Computational Modeling)
This field offers students exposure to a wide range of computer architecture related technologies including embedded systems, VLSI technologies, and computer device technologies. Regarding embedded systems, a broad and deep knowledge of application software, OS, architecture, and electronics are considered as targets. Regarding VLSI technologies, not only digital design but also physical design and analog electronics are covered. Regarding computer device technologies, both theoretical and practical study and research of micro/nano devices are included. Parallel processing is a major working horse for computers today and in the future and this field of study aims to teach and expose students to research in the most advanced and innovative computer technologies covering from hardware architecture to application software.
FoS SY offers comparable courses to Undergraduate School’s Computer System Design (SD) and VLSI Design Track (VD).
SD & VD (Computer System Design and VLSI Design)
Computer networking is an indispensable element in modern information and communications services. The research and education in this field address all aspects of communications and networking, including digital communication, multimedia and ubiquitous networking, Internet engineering practice, traffic engineering, and distributed algorithms that are needed to develop computer network systems.
FoS CN offers comparable courses to Undergraduate School’s Compute Network Systems Track (CN).
CN（Computer Network Systems）
Virtual Reality, Multimedia and Biomedical IT are very important and constantly evolving areas in computer science and engineering. The subject areas of these fields include: computer graphics and animation, the Internet and mobile systems for multimedia computing; biomedical multimedia systems, intelligent multimedia systems, mixed and augmented reality, computer music, networked media applications, and computer games.
In response to the rapid development of web technologies, human interfaces and robotics, students are expected to acquire sufficient knowledge and skills to conduct research on and experiment with Web technologies for searching multi-media objects including speech, Human-machine interface technologies, Robot technology available in ubiquitous environments, and analysis of extreme environment exploration and remote sensing.
FoS IT offers comparable courses to Undergraduate School’s Virtual Reality and Human Interface Track (VH), Robotic Engineering and Control Track (RC) and Biomedical Information Technology Track (BM).
VH (Virtual Reality and Human Interface)
RC (Robotic Engineering and Control)
BM (Biomedical Information Technology)
Software engineering is a systematic and disciplined approach to developing software that applies both computer science and engineering principles and practices to the creation, operation, and maintenance of software systems. Students enrolled in our field will combine study and research in order to get practical experience in using modern software development techniques and tools as well as participate in developing various applications. They will be able to use knowledge obtained including methods range from how to precisely specify and evaluate problem requirements to how to organize the programming process of the problem solution in real time as well as required and available resources.
FoS SE offers comparable courses to Undergraduate School’s Software Engineering Track (SE).
SE（Software Engineering）
Graduate Department of Information Technologies and Project Management

The purpose of the department is to react to the situation by introducing a new educational process where the education through solving practical problems oriented to the IT industry. A variety of opportunities and team-based environment are organized to encourage both cooperation and individual initiatives and leadership. Also the department is to foster internationally educated experts in leading edge information technologies.
The educational program of the department is based on "Software Development Arena" that is on a so called "super-course" which demands roughly 40% of student efforts. As a result of this super-course, students, working in a team, should develop an experimental software system, write four technical reports, and publish at least one research paper in an international conference proceeding. The program supports a team-based and intensive style of study.
- Field of Study Project Management and IT Specialist (PM)
- （Project Management, Intellectual Property Management, Business & Computer Industry, Cloud Computing）
Developing cutting-edge IT specialists who have international education background is an important duty of modern society. This field of study offers courses of basic knowledge and applied technologies to develop highly-reliable and safety software. This Field of Study aimed to develop IT leaders who have wide spectrum of knowledge on Computer System development from basic to applied technologies. Therefore, students are required to take courses from other FoS to obtain knowledge which their projects requires.
Specific goals of this FoS are;
- Cultivating Leading Engineers of System Development
-Experiencing Research and Development in an English speaking international environment
-Acquiring the latest knowledge and technologies
-Improving necessary qualification to be international researchers and engineers
