Overview

The field of study referred to as Informatics at the Graduate School of Informatics at Kyoto University consists of areas related to information in natural, artificial, social and life-related systems. It can be characterized by three pillars: the interface between humans/society and information, mathematical modeling, and information systems. The aim of the Graduate School of Informatics is not confined to the creation of new fields of study related to the three pillars.

More broadly, we explore an understanding of the essence of ‘information’ and the immense impact of information technology on society, and we pursue advancement of information-related science and technology in the appropriate directions. According to the goal of Kyoto University, we will contribute, from the perspective of Informatics, to establishing harmonious coexistence within the global community.

Who should apply

In the Intelligence Science and Technology program we welcome a wide range of talented students who will understand the concepts of Informatics and will study science and technologies of Informatics with passion, and will aspire to develop this new academic area for the future.

As long as they are proficient in their field of study or research, we hope to accept students from diverse backgrounds related to Informatics-unfettered by the conventional framework of sciences versus humanities-from Japan and from other countries. We also welcome working professionals who have a passion for studying Informatics.
