Admission Policy of the Graduate School of Informatics

The field of study referred to as informatics at Kyoto University consists of three core areas
related to information in both natural and artificial systems: the interface between humans/society and
information, mathematical modeling, and information systems. The aim of the Graduate School of
Informatics (hereafter, the School) is not confined to the creation of a new field of learning that might
be termed 21st-century informatics; more broadly, we seek to promote an understanding of the essence
of information and the immense influence of IT on society, and to advance information-related
science and technology in the appropriate directions. Through this type of education and research, we
hope to assist in achieving a more humanistic lifestyle and contribute to a harmonious coexistence in
the global community.
The School welcomes students who aspire to develop this new academic area in the field of
informatics. Thus far, we have accepted students from diverse backgroundsunfettered by the
conventional framework of sciences versus humanitiesfrom throughout J apan and the world. This
program also welcomes working professionals. For this reason, the entrance examination adopts a
format allowing examinees to select questions from various specialized fields. In certain departments,
we also permit the selection of candidates based on recommendations.
The education offered at this School seeks to nurture high-level research capabilities and rich
scholarship in order to instill the skills of researchers and top-quality technicians who can contribute to
a knowledge-based society. More specifically, we strive to instill a broad vision in our students that
extends beyond any individual field of expertise. We have put together a closely knit fabric of
graduate education in which the specialized instruction within the department may be likened to its
warp, and the woof would be instruction that crosses departmental borders, such as the Perspective in
Informatics. The School also extends its education to those who hail from fields other than
information.
By providing such an education, we aspire to produce graduates who are endowed with
communication skills that are necessary to contribute to the international stage and to be actively
engaged in research, who excel in having the type of originality and creativity needed by industry, and
who possess the rare ability to master and apply a wide range of basic technologies that can be used to
develop interdisciplinary fields. Our mission is to produce skilled individuals who can exercise
leadership as both researchers and engineers.
