Let's develop the ability to open up a new future
in information science.
Developments in information science & technology are bringing about major changes in industry and society. The Faculty of Information Science & Technology develops education and research for the "fourth industrial revolution" and "super-smart society" based on artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and data science. In the first and second years, students learn various theories of information science and knowledge and skills related to hardware, software, and networks as a common foundation for all departments.
From the third year, students are divided into four courses: the Information Systems Course, the Simulation Science Course, the Intelligent Media Course, and the Robotics Course to deepen their specialized fields. In addition to the staff who support such education and research, the school also provides a full range of environmental facilities for experiments, exercises, and research.
Our goal is to develop human resources who can acquire practical skills to play an active role in the advanced information society and who can connect people and society to a happy future through information science.

Message from the Dean
The Faculty of Information Science & Technology, established in April 1998, was Aichi Prefectural University's first step into the sciences. At that time, the term "IT" was hardly known. However, over the years, IT has grown into a crucial infrastructure—an essential part of daily life that touches every aspect of our lives.
As IT continues to grow, there is an increasing need for skilled professionals to lead the development of new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and data science—key elements of the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Society 5.0.
These advanced technologies are essential for the growth of important industries in Aichi Prefecture, including next-generation automotive, robotics, and aerospace. Therefore, developing expertise in IT, AI, and data science is crucial to keeping Aichi at the forefront of advanced manufacturing. As a public institution, Aichi Prefectural University understands its important role in meeting these needs by training the next generation of innovators.
Our faculty is dedicated to providing an education that gives students a strong foundation in computer science and related fields of study, ensuring they have the flexibility needed to succeed in a rapidly changing technological world. Beyond technical skills, we aim to develop professionals who can explain the importance and impact of information science on society, guiding our community towards a prosperous and enlightened future.
Department of Information Science & Technology
To acquire the ability to pioneer a smart global society through in-depth study of the advanced information technology that supports manufacturing.
The Department of Information Science provides education and research guidance so that students can utilize their knowledge of engineering and information science to solve various problems assumed in "manufacturing" by taking advantage of the unique characteristics of Aichi Prefecture.
As a result, many of our students have achieved high-quality research results and are active in companies that support manufacturing in Aichi Prefecture, such as those related to automobiles, electrical machinery, machinery, and information and telecommunications.
