Nagoya Institute of Technology, in collaboration with the University of Wollongong, Australia, established the Department of International Collaborative Informatics (Doctoral Program).The "Joint Degree Program", in which students who have completed the program jointly confer a single degree, will start in March 2018.This is Japan's first attempt at a joint degree program at a graduate school of engineering (doctoral course).
In order to be the first in the world to realize a "super smart society," which is a "society in which cyber (virtual) space and physical (real) space are highly integrated," the core technologies of artificial intelligence, big data, IoT, etc. It is indispensable to have world-class researchers and engineers who have acquired advanced knowledge and technology that can lead innovation in the field of informatics.In order to realize this "ultra-smart society" in the Chukyo area industry where Nagoya Institute of Technology is located, expectations for human resource development at the university are expected to increase further in the future.
Therefore, Nagoya Institute of Technology will utilize the educational and research resources of both universities in collaboration with the University of Wollongong in Australia, which has been jointly developing educational and research activities in the field of informatics centered on artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems for many years. Established the Department of International Cooperation through the Joint Degree Program. In the field of informatics with a view to "realizing an ultra-smart society" and contributing to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, researchers who can lead the world in developing new research fields and global companies expanding internationally will be able to develop new businesses. We train practical researchers and engineers as global leaders who will lead the development.
Wollongong University is a public university located in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.It is highly evaluated internationally, as it is ranked within the top 2% of the world university rankings (218th in the world – QS World University Rankings 2016/2017, etc.).
