President
Takuya Katayama, Ph.D. |
JAIST was established in October, 1990 as Japan’s
first national graduate institute without undergraduate division that
held an independent campus and programs of education and research to
pursue world-class researches in advanced science and technology.
Thanks to invaluable and enthusiastic support by so many people and
organizations, this year JAIST has reached the 20th year since its foundation.
JAIST aims at providing the highest level of education and research in
the world and contributing to securing and enhancing Japan’s status as a
world leader in technology. To materialize such aims JAIST has developed leading
researchers and engineers for industries as well as academic institutions.
The number of JAIST graduates in the two decades amounts to 4,097 with master’s
degree and 610 with doctoral degree. In addition, JAIST has been ranked among top
universities in Japan in research in terms of the number of publication and
commissioned research grants per faculty member.

JAIST offers only graduate programs and consists of three graduate schools,
School of Knowledge Science, School of Information Science and School of
Materials Science. The JAIST faculty includes many well-known professors
working in advanced research environments, and JAIST has an excellent reputation
for its prominent research activities.
Since its foundation, JAIST has followed the educational principle that students
should be educated through a carefully and systematically designed curriculum which is
broad enough to adapt to the changing world. This is different from the traditional
Japanese style of graduate education, where students are trained mainly in their
narrow research domains.
Facing the globalizing world where globalized issues present common threats to
every human, responsible higher educational institutions must set their goal in
collaborating together to cope with the issues. To satisfy such responsibility,
JAIST has been leading Japan in internationalizing educational program in
advanced science and technology. We have academic exchange agreements with
nearly 80 foreign academic or research institutes.
In addition to world-class research collaborations and acceptance of
talented international students, we are operating four dual degree programs
in which participating students can obtain two graduate degrees at the same
level from their home institute and JAIST. The students can take advantage of
excellent opportunities in education and research offered by the two institutes.
English is the language of instruction in every course at the Doctoral level
and most of the courses at the Master’s level.
We take the 20th anniversary as the Beginning of the Second Period of Founding
to further promote the advanced education and research activities so that JAIST
will keep developing as a leading international graduate institute in the world.
Join us to prepare yourself to become a future leader in the global society.
