Overview

About the Informatics programme

The University of Tsukuba will implement organizational restructuring of the graduate program in Informatics from April 2020.This is the first reform in Japan that has shifted all graduate schools to a degree program system, where we structured degree programs across traditional organizational boundaries.

We will develop highly diverse human resource who can respond to the complex needs of the rapidly changing modern society.

Professors who were previously in charge of only one major can now collaborate on other programs, and students can study their fields from a wider perspective.
