October 2017 Admission Graduate School of Informatics Kyoto University Guidelines for Admission to the Master’s Program Department of Intelligence Science and Technology (International Course) and the Special Selection Procedure for International Students for: Department of Applied Mathematics and Physics Department of Systems Science Department of Communications and Computer Engineering Entrance Examination in February 2017 Translation Disclaimer Kyoto University strives to achieve the highest possible accuracy in translating its documents from their official language of Japanese. However, due to the nature of translated documents, accuracy is not guaranteed. The translated documents are produced for reference only, and are not legally binding. The original documents in the Japanese language shall always take precedence over their translated versions. The information in the guidelines is subject to change without notice. Refer to the latest information available at http://www.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ October 2017 Admission to the Master’s Program Admissions Policy of Graduate School of Informatics The field of study referred to at Kyoto University as informatics 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 backgrounds—unfettered by the conventional framework of sciences versus humanities—from throughout Japan 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 fields of specialization. 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 knowledge in order to instill the skills required to become researchers and top-quality technicians capable of contributing to a knowledge-based society. More specifically, we strive to instill in our students a broad vision 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 the instruction that crosses departmental borders, such as the Perspectives in Informatics seminar. 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 the communication skills necessary to contribute on the international stage and to be actively engaged in research, who excel in having the 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.
