Our program courses are taught in Japanese.

Some seminars expect students to attend at a set time. If you cannot attend real-time sessions, you will need to watch recorded lectures and/or submit assignments. Other seminars require students to complete and submit assignments, final projects or final reports instead.

In “Information Science and Engineering Seminars 1 and 2, ” graduation research project courses, students will be guided by assigned professors. Instruction formats may vary including live sessions and pre-recorded (VOD) lectures. Active communication is expected, especially for guidance and mid-term project progress reports. Final projects and/or reports must be submitted for the course evaluation.

Most lectures are pre-recorded and delivered on demand online. Students watch them on their own schedule. Some seminars are delivered in real-time and students are expected to log in to OUS-LMS at a set time to participate.

No. There is no difference between the online and on-campus degrees from the Faculty of Information Science and Engineering.

They are nearly the same except practical, hands-on courses such as “AI Robotics” and “Mechatronics” which are offered only in the on-campus program. The online program curriculum exclude these courses due to its delivery format limitations.

Not necessarily. We offer preparatory courses which covers basic math and English. The curriculum also supports students in developing a strong foundation through fundamental courses in math and information science.

No. All courses are delivered online with no on-campus requirements. Some seminar courses required students to attend real-time sessions, but most lectures are pre-recorded and delivered on demand. Students can watch them on their own schedule. Final exams are also conducted online.

Students take courses through the OUS-LMS after logging in to the system and choosing the classes they are interested in. They study pre-recorded lectures and use print/digital textbooks, including PDF files, and complete assignments including quizzes to reinforce their understanding. For programming courses, students write programs, observe the outcome and submit assignment reports to enhance their learning. Students watch videos, take quizzes and submit reports through the LMS which is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
