JAIST was founded in October 1990 as the first independent national graduate school, to carry out graduate education based on research at the highest level in advanced science and technology. JAIST aims at establishing an ideal model of graduate education for Japan. JAIST was incorporated as a National University Corporation in April 2004.
JAIST endeavors to foster leaders capable of cont...ributing to the making of a future world by creation of science and technology, through its most advanced education and research in an ideal academic environment.JAIST develops leaders in society or industry who hold credible expertise in the frontier science and technology, broad perspectives, high level of autonomy and communication ability, through its systematic advanced graduate education.
JAIST, to contribute to societies with research outcomes, creates a center of excellence for advancement of researches for solving problems of our world and society and develops new fields through a variety of basic researches.JAIST fosters active global human resources by promoting faculty and student exchanges with leading institutes overseas and globalizing its education and research.
In our admission decisions we place the most significant weight on the motivation of the student as demonstrated in the personal interview. JAIST admits highly motivated students, including advanced undergraduate students (who have completed at least three years of undergraduate study), professionals, and international students, regardless of undergraduate specialization.
JAIST educates students through a carefully and systematically designed coursework-oriented curriculum, which gives students a solid foundation for their advanced research. This is different from the traditional Japanese style of graduate education, where students are trained mainly in their narrow research domains.
We train our students in a specialized field combined with interdisciplinary knowledge of related disciplines. Through our educational program students gain thorough understanding of fundamentals, and develop problem-solving skills.
Our faculty members are world-class researchers. We recruit professionals with outstanding achievements at the leading edge of science and technology. They come from all over the world, from other universities, and from top industrial research and development institutions.
JAIST works closely with the regional community, as well as industries worldwide, by promoting collaborative research and accepting commissioned research. We use various modes of cooperation including visiting faculty chairs, endowed chairs, and laboratories operated jointly with other institutions.
JAIST has carried out world-class research activities, taking advantage of our top-class faculty members and research facilities and equipment such as cutting edge IT technologies. Those activities have concretely resulted in various positive outcomes including adoption and execution of advanced research projects with competitive funds and grants from the government and other organizations. JAIST has always been among top universities in Japan in terms of the number and amount of funds of cooperative and contracted research per faculty member. To develop its excellence further, JAIST has built top-level research centers called Excellent Cores to carry out effective and intensive investment in research.
At JAIST, students have great opportunities to develop themselves by experiencing diverse ideas, cultures and values that consist of a variety of students including those with job experiences, those with a background of researchers at industries and those from many other countries. Holding about 40 percent of students from different corners of the world activates interactions among students that help them acquire globalized senses and language proficiency. Students can enjoy and learn from diversity on campus as effectively as in the case of studying abroad. This feature is a JAIST advantage.
Intellectual toughness, in short, is a power of challenge to seek for much broader experience and knowledge. It also requires an ability of coping with any unknown situation and that of communicating with others regardless of any difference in cultural backgrounds. Intellectual toughness necessitates a strong will power not to give up in difficult situations too. Being a graduate institute without undergraduate program, all the JAIST students are from other universities like Japanese students from all over Japan from Hokkaido to Okinawa and international students from 32 countries. This diversity provides an ideal environment for our students to develop their intellectual toughness.
United Kingdom is one of the most successful countries in industry collaboration and Oxford and Cambridge are the leading universities in its collaboration. These universities are ranked in the first and second in the world ranking while heavily committing to promoting industrial collaboration. JAIST directs its efforts in activating industrial collaboration by adopting needs-oriented research. We also invite researchers from industries to our master students’ mid-term presentations and gain industrial perspectives to enhance student learning. We also organize an annual event called “Matching Hub” to provide an opportunity for both companies and universities to match their needs and seeds for new products and projects.
