In order to foster researchers who can take active role in international society, we offer study abroad program. In overseas IT training program in Symbiosis International University in India, graduate students acquire professional knowledge about software development, software design with the use of UML (Unified Modeling Language), PBL(Project-based Learning) based on SDLC (Software Design Life Cycle) and development of web application in Java language.

In overseas IT training program, students aim at acquiring certain view of future career while deepening knowledge of students’ professional fields, acquiring practical skills, deepening self-understanding and capturing true nature of the job throughout the internship. Students can deepen their expertise by utilizing their IT knowledge in Japanese-affiliated IT companies and local IT companies in the U.S.A, China, India and Vietnam.

Over 100 students are studying in Graduate School of Information Science and Engineering. About 150 students are studying as short-term students. All international students belong to laboratories with Japanese students which gives international students opportunity to exchange their cultures.

There are many scholarship programs for Graduate School of Information Science and Engineering. We accept outstanding students from India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia as our graduate school was adopted special program from Japanese government (Monbukagakusho).
