Overview
This Information, Technology, and Society in Asia program at The University of Tokyo offers intensive graduate-level education designed to foster analytical strength and insight into Asian societies at a time when information and communication technology is having an increasingly profound impact on the region.
Features
- The program is tailored to both international and Japanese students who are motivated to pursue active professional careers on the regional and global stages. All instruction is in English, so proficiency in Japanese is not a prerequisite.
- Classes are small, with around 8 Ph.D. and 12 M.A.S. students admitted each year. Unlike the conventional Japanese academic calendar, the ITASIA Program commences in the fall.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies (GSII), which houses the ITASIA Program, offers graduate-level education on information, the most important concept needed to understand modern society, and promotes interdisciplinary research and education in a wide variety of fields covering the social sciences, humanities and natural sciences.
- Graduate courses and research supervision are conducted mainly by faculty members belonging to the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies (III), which was created together with the GSII in April 2000.
