The University of Aizu Admission Policy
The University of Aizu is the first university in Japan solely dedicated to computer science and engineering. Computer science and engineering is a promising and cutting-edge discipline with wide applications, and is becoming a core for technology regarding knowledge production. With the founding principle, “Starting from Local Communities to the World” and “to Advance Knowledge for Humanity” (pursuit of making breakthroughs discoveries that contribute to the peace and prosperity of mankind), the University of Aizu has conducted research and education in computer science and engineering to lead the world since the opening of the University, with a greater number of non-Japanese faculty members who have achieved outstanding research achievements than any other university in Japan. The University of Aizu seeks individuals who will give constant efforts to realize the University’s goal, “to Advance Knowledge for Humanity” in the field of computer science and engineering with an international outlook from the standpoint of the Aizu area. Goals of the University of Aizu are as follows.
- Nurturing of internationally-viable researchers, technical experts and leaders in technological innovation, and human resources with an entrepreneurial spirit who are rich in creativeness with a high standard of ethics
- Promoting research and development in computer science and engineering to lead the world and contributing to society and academia
- Becoming a center for sustainable development of culture and industry in the local society, by promoting close relation and cooperation with local communities
As knowledge and skills in computers will be acquired after admission, it does not matter whether students have much skill in operation of computer software and game machines prior to their admission. Rather than that, students should have inquisitiveness, creativity and spirit to challenge unfamiliar subjects and the logic to pursue scientific issues. We give a hearty welcome to students who have aspirations for learning computer science and engineering, and choose the University of Aizu as their first choice.
Since advanced mathematics is required for research in computer science and engineering, the University has placed a strong emphasis on mathematics in its entrance examinations. Like it or not, the language presently used worldwide for communication involving computers is English. English proficiency in reading scientific papers and journals, and exchanging information is essential. For these reasons, the University of Aizu gives examinations in English and mathematics.
In this era, when the existence of computers is indispensable, skills and knowledge acquired by graduates from the University of Aizu have been highly evaluated. The University of Aizu has high expectations that application for admission will be made by students who have high aspirations.
