Department Features

Create something new that has never existed before. Experience the thrill of it.

The evolution of technology to 4K and 8K television has brought us highly realistic images and sounds in sports and other broadcasts. Media engineering technology plays a key role in producing these immersive sounds and visuals. Moreover, through an interdisciplinary learning experience that integrates the three fields of media engineering, knowledge engineering (such as artificial intelligence and other forms of intelligence that integrate knowledge into computers to solve complex problems), and information design (which focuses on creating more user-friendly interfaces), our goal is to develop students capable of creating entirely new systems that have never been seen before. The department offers great reward and satisfaction for those eager to explore the unknown and embrace new challenges.

  • Diploma Policy
    In the Department of Advanced Media, students will acquire foundational knowledge and skills related to media information processing. By understanding the fundamentals and applications of acoustics, images, artificial intelligence, and information design, students will enhance the convenience of human life and develop the practical abilities needed to pioneer advanced areas of media engineering. This will equip them to contribute to society and industry, and upon completion, they will be awarded a degree.
  • Curriculum Policy
    The curriculum is structured around "General Education Courses," "Basic Specialized Courses," "Core Specialized Courses," and "Advanced Specialized Courses" to achieve the objectives outlined in the Diploma Policy. "General Education Courses" deepen students' understanding of general skills, critical thinking, and the attitudes and perspectives required as members of society, along with international understanding and knowledge of humanity, society, and nature. "Basic Specialized Courses" cover foundational natural science subjects essential for the Intelligent Media Engineering field, ensuring a solid understanding of the core principles of the discipline. "Core Specialized Courses" introduce students to specialized education, providing an understanding of the academic framework and essential knowledge in Advanced Media. "Advanced Specialized Courses" offer a more specific and practical understanding of applications and future developments in Advanced Media.

Curriculum Highlights

  1. 1st year

    Build a strong foundation in learning and understand the principles of virtual systems through hands-on exercises

    By studying foundational subjects in mathematics and physics, students will prepare themselves to explore the three fields of media engineering, knowledge engineering, and information design. In the "Intelligent Media Experiential Exercises," students will learn how to generate sound and images using computers.

  2. 2nd year

    Study the foundational subjects in the three fields: media engineering, knowledge engineering, and information design

    Students will learn the principles of these fields through courses such as "Information Theory," "Basic Media," and "Communication Design Exercises." In the "Intelligent Media Project," students will create projects and enhance their ability to apply what they've learned.

  3. 3rd year

    Study advanced topics across the three fields and discover your area of interest

    Through experiments and practical exercises, students will deepen their knowledge and skills, helping them pinpoint their areas of interest and strengths. In the "Intelligent Media Challenge," students will push themselves to create more advanced projects.

  4. 4th year

    Apply knowledge and skills from all three fields to conduct graduation research

    With the goal of creating new forms of communication for the modern era, students will engage in their graduation research. They will leverage the knowledge and skills gained across the three fields, advancing their research while refining their development and problem-solving abilities.

Student Voice

Kei Ishizuka, 4th year Chiba Prefecture / Graduate of Chiba Kita High School

By studying a wide range of fields, including knowledge engineering and acoustic engineering, I have developed the ability to approach problems from multiple perspectives.

I decided to apply after attending a presentation by Chiba Institute of Technology at my high school, where I learned about cutting-edge technologies like AI and VR. Currently, I am researching UX design, focusing on designing user experiences. Since my first year, I have studied a wide range of fields, including AI and acoustic engineering, and the diverse knowledge I've gained is being applied to my research. My goal is to become an information designer who can create new services without being limited by conventional ideas.
