The University of Aizu
The University of Aizu was established in 1993 as the first university in Japan dedicated to education and research in Computer Science and Engineering. From the start, it has been a very unique university because 40% of the faculty members are non-Japanese from different countries around the world. The top-level faculty members provide high-international education and research environment. Everything on campus is bilingual and you can take all of classes for your degree entirely in English. In 2014, the University of Aizu was selected for Top Global University Project by Japanese government to lead the globalization of Japanese higher education. Only 37 universities in Japan have been selected for the project.
Although we are a small university, we have the largest computer science department in Japan and many advanced fields like AI, Robotics, Biomedical Engineering, Space Informatics and so on. We are seeking people who are always looking outward to the world and continuing to challenge themselves. Learn in Aizu, amaze the world!
