Essential Skills for Future Professionals

The Faculty of Social Informatics empowers students to thrive in an AI-driven society by mastering AI, not just using it. Our curriculum covers six core fields: Digital Content Industry, Applied Informatics, Culture and Thought, Economy and Markets, and Mathematical Sciences. Our flexible structure enables students to explore both arts and sciences, tailoring their education to their interests. With over 250 courses offered, classes are primarily delivered as pre-recorded, on-demand sessions conveniently accessible online.

Six Key Disciplines

Unlike high school, university education extends beyond textbooks, challenging students to gather, interpret, and apply knowledge to real-world situations. Through the interdisciplinary exploration of six key disciplines critical to an AI-driven society, students cultivate essential skills, such as a global perspective, critical thinking, and effective information utilization.
