International Professional University of Technology in Nagoya
Defining a new form
of university.
Today’s society is facing complex challenges that involve diverse issues and are constantly changing. To solve them, “static-expertise”, i.e., knowledge in a single specialized domain does not suffice.
That is why we aim for “dynamic creative knowledge”. This knowledge crosses the boundaries of existing academic disciplines by integrating the latest technologies and findings gained through practical experiences.
Our students and faculty members will work together to explore every avenue in full collaboration with industry, the local community, and people around the world. They will create new value by leveraging theory and practice and obtain the skills necessary to create a better future. Our graduates are “Designers in Society” who can deal with diverse and complex societal issues.
This is the mission of the International Professional University of Technology in Nagoya as a new university in the coming age.
Message from the President
President
Nobuyuki Matsui
As innovators with a strong ethical foundation, you are going forth from Nagoya into the world.
What you are going to do at this University is not only acquire knowledge but also get out of the classroom and apply what you would have just learned to propose a way to solve the real challenges in society, working with active trailblazers in business or community. That is your story. And you are the main character improving social issues.
Our mission is to provide the students with professional skills and knowledge in Information Technology or Digital Entertainment and bring them up into true innovators. The pioneers are supposed to tackle the existing challenges in society and identify the potential problems for the future. Learn at the International Professional University of Technology in Nagoya and train yourself through the learning in the classroom and the authentic experiences in our society.
I’m proud that the world is looking to Nagoya as a treasure-trove of Japanese technology. With the wind at your back, you will learn through the novel curriculum, including Community-based Practical Design Training and Company Internships, which no other universities offer, and gain creativity, practical skills, and business acumen. Fly into the world from downtown Nagoya.
“Designers in Society” is the name we give to the innovators we develop at this University.
They will create new values for society and design the physical items, systems, and mechanisms needed to make these values a reality. Through the process design and the following work, these innovators will contribute to social transformation and thus redesign society itself.
From this new form of university, may they go forth into the world with a new kind of knowledge.
