Following its selection as a recipient of the National Institution for Academic Degrees and University Reform's "University and College of Technology Function Strengthening Support Project (Support for strengthening functions to secure highly-skilled information specialists)," Nagoya University will increase its undergraduate admissions quota by 2025 students in the Faculty of Information Science and 16 students in the Faculty of Engineering from the 20 academic year.
In response to the growing need for digital talent nationwide, Nagoya University will expand student enrollment in related fields and aim to foster "digital value creation talent" who can promote manufacturing DX (digital transformation) through collaboration between informatics and engineering. In order to implement an educational program that utilizes the strengths of information (IT vendors) and engineering (users), students will be able to take courses from each faculty and graduate school, and mathematics and information subjects (machine learning, AI, quantum computing, etc.) will be expanded, and university-wide entrepreneurship education will be implemented in parallel. In addition, the admission quota for the graduate school (master's course) will be increased (2025 students in the Graduate School of Informatics from 20, 2029 students in the Graduate School of Informatics and 12 students in the Graduate School of Engineering from 30), and human resource development will be strengthened in conjunction with the bachelor's course.
Nagoya University aims to become a world-class research university and is working to cultivate and support human resources who will contribute to global society and academia. This increase in admissions quota will promote this initiative from the perspective of cultivating information human resources.
