Overview

Through core courses in subjects such as strategic system engineering methods and design projects, students in this System Design and Management program at at Keio University International Center master practical system design techniques and comprehensive management ability (including communication skills), and they acquire a global vision that is cultivated by international interaction.

Objectives

Our aim is to provide a melting pot that brings together industry, government, and academia, and fuses the humanities and sciences. This permits students to form networks of contacts through interaction with people from other fields as they - themselves - develop into:

Creative systems designers - capable of proposing and achieving new technological and social systems to meet global and diverse values and interests in the rapidly changing social and development environment, and leading business in the new markets created.
Innovative project leaders - capable of highly reliable, innovative management and operation throughout an entire system lifecycle: from conception and design to construction, operation, and disposal of more complex, advanced, and large-scale technological systems.
