The Graduate School of System Informatics engages in research and education in the fields of systems science, information science, and computational science, focusing on system information (significant information that exists in a broad range of systems, including nature, engineering, and society) to create and expand new academic disciplines, in order to conceive new knowledge and values. The Graduate School hopes to train people possessing great creativity and a cosmopolitan outlook in order to contribute towards this objective. For this purpose, the Graduate School is committed to enrolling students from a wide range of backgrounds, not only from Japan but also from overseas.
