The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics (KCGI) is currently constructing a new building on the north side of the main Hyakumanben campus (1 Tanakamonzen-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City) to further enhance the educational environment and to create a new center for IT education and international exchange.The four-story building with one basement level will be an advanced, groundbreaking school building equipped with high-flex classrooms that can accommodate various learning styles such as active learning, innovation rooms that promote the development of new ideas, individual work booths for online classes and meetings, and a library that holds books mainly related to IT.There will also be a large lecture room that functions as a multipurpose hall and a space for agricultural IT practices.A new center for learning will appear in Kyoto, a historic academic city.The new school building will come into being in the summer of 2022.
Since its opening in 2004 as Japan's first professional graduate school of IT, the university has made steady progress.Inheriting the pioneering spirit of Kyoto Computer Gakuin College (KCG), Japan's first computer education institution founded in 1963, we train IT professionals with broad knowledge, advanced technology, and international mindset.We also focus on developing international leaders with both IT and management skills who can demonstrate their abilities in countries around the world.In recent years, many international students from Africa and Latin America, as well as from Asia and Europe, have been studying at the school.The admission capacity, which was 80 at the time of the school's opening (total capacity of 160), will increase to 600 in April 2020 (total capacity of 1,200 in FY2021), an increase of 7.5 times.In terms of capacity for information-related graduate schools, this school is one of the best.
