University-wide Education Program in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

In today's fast-paced digital transformation (DX) world, data science (DS) and artificial intelligence (AI) constitute indispensable knowledge and technologies in diverse areas such as social dynamics, industry, and R&D. Recognizing this, Tokyo Tech leverages its position as a comprehensive science and technology university to offer the University-wide Education Program in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, aiming to cultivate "co-creative experts" capable of solving social problems by making full use of DS and AI across disciplines regardless of their own specializations.

Spearheaded by the Center of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, which engages faculty members from all Schools, WISE academies, and interdisciplinary graduate majors at Tokyo Tech, the program consists of literacy and advanced literacy levels for undergraduate students, and expert level and expert level plus for graduate students.
The literacy and advanced literacy levels are structured in accordance with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Mathematics, Data Science and AI Smart Higher Education Program (MDASH) system and have received MDASH certification.

This program has acquired MDASH Literacy certification (Approved Program for Mathematics, Data science and AI Smart Higher Education) and is designed to help students build the foundation and competencies required to make full use of the knowledge.

Building on the literacy level, students will acquire higher level capabilities, practical skills, and competencies that lead to expert proficiency.

Students will acquire competencies required of "co-creative experts" in data science and AI technology, who are able to use it to solve societal problems, apply it across different disciplines, and teach the subject to others.

The goal for students is to emerge as top-level researchers and engineers equipped with expertise in cutting-edge data science and AI technologies such as generative AI essential for problem-solving, as well as a profound understanding of AI ethics, information-related legal frameworks, and technologies facilitating the responsible use of AI in society.
