Academic faculty members in this program will provide guidance mainly from an academic perspective, while practical faculty members will provide guidance with an emphasis on practical skills for students to become active in the modern society after completing the Master’s Program. Students will acquire the necessary knowledge to become practitioners who can lead our data-driven society immediately through practical training courses centered on exercises, elective courses that broadly cover the basic and applications of data science, and collaborative courses that broaden and deepen their academic knowledge in data science and business administration. In addition to the faculty members, we also offer a number of courses taught by lecturers dispatched from companies. In the second year, internships courses are offered in actual work sites to deepen the students’ understanding.

Granted Degree

• Master’s Program: MASTER OF SCIENCE IN APPLIED DATA SCIENCES

The biggest feature of this program is its collaboration among faculty members from the three graduate schools that apply and develop data science (Graduate School of Economics, Science and Technology, and Global Environment Studies) and practitioners with extensive experience in data science especially in the field of business.

The collaboration of these graduate schools that are primarily based on economics, science and technology, and environmental studies enables students to cover diverse academic fields such as economics, business administration, science, engineering, informatics, and environmental studies. The curriculum and faculty organization are designed with a focus on fostering the ability to apply and develop these academic fields in the practical world.

This program accepts students from diverse backgrounds and fosters practitioners who will lead our data-driven society through their graduate studies. We do not set any requirements for entrance examination or admission, such as designating the field of study or undergraduate courses taken in the past, or work experience. Depending on the individual’s educational and professional background, students can brush up their existing knowledge or skills and build their own curriculum based on their ideal career.

Part of its mission is to provide recurrent education for working adults, so the program offers daytime and evening classes. Classes are held mainly in the evening on weekdays, providing an environment that is conductive to learning for working people. The campus is located in front of Yotsuya Station, which is accessible by both JR and Tokyo Metro lines allowing students to easily commute to the school on their way home from work.
