The Information Technology Center helps students look toward the future by offering an extensive range of information and communications technologies (ICT).
The Information Technology Center provides an educational and research media system consisting of computer labs and information systems that are used in educational and research activities as well as an on-campus network that operates in accordance with various information security measures. It recognizes the importance of preparing students to contribute to the development of society while utilizing ICT and works to achieve that goal.
The University promotes a BYOD (bring your own device) policy, enabling students to use their own devices (such as laptops) to access various university-provided information systems from different locations.
In September 2025, we will upgrade our educational and research media systems to offer new services, further enhancing the Universityʼs ICT-based learning environment and enriching learning activities both on and off campus.
By studying in such an environment, students can not only engage in more efficient and effective learning, but also acquire essential ICT skills that are indispensable in todayʼs society.
The Information Technology Center will continue to advance the educational and research environment while looking toward the future of our society and that of our students so that it can provide an environment in which students can grow and develop to meet societyʼs expectations.
