The Department of Computer Science at Institute of Science Tokyo offers a two-year master's program taught in English, based in Tokyo, Japan. Institute of Science Tokyo was formed in 2024 through the merger of Tokyo Institute of Technology, founded in 1881, and Tokyo Medical and Dental University, founded in 1928, and it pursues a mission of advancing science and human wellbeing to create value for and with society. This program covers core areas of computer science including algorithms, software systems, artificial intelligence, and data-driven computing, combining coursework with hands-on project and research experience. Students develop both theoretical understanding and practical software engineering skills, preparing them for careers as software engineers, data scientists, or researchers, as well as for continued doctoral study. New students begin in April / October, and the program is taught entirely in English, which is intended to make advanced study accessible to international applicants who have not yet mastered Japanese. Coursework in programs of this kind typically combines core lecture courses with laboratory or project work in the first year, followed by a research-focused thesis project in the second year, during which students work closely with a faculty supervisor. Seminars and journal clubs are a common feature of graduate study in this field, giving students practice in presenting and critiquing research, and in communicating technical findings to an audience beyond their own specialty.
