Notice

Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Systems strives to foster talent that can contribute to solving global challenges and creating novel values of technology through inclusion of researchers with a wide variety of backgrounds, including electrical engineering, computer science, physics, material science, chemistry, energy/environmental engineering, control engineering, and space engineering.

To encourage participation by prospective students with backgrounds besides electrical engineering and computer science, we revise the structure of Specialized subject examinations and reduce the required number of problems to choose, starting at the entrance exams in the academic year of 2020. We are looking forward to working with students from different universities with various knowledge, experience, and research interests. Please check our guidance book for AY 2021, and the page for Specialized subject examinations.
