Practical field with research ability by further deepening the specialized knowledge and ability related to clinical engineering and radiological technology acquired in undergraduate education, and acquiring the ability to set research themes and develop research activities by oneself. The purpose is to train human resources who play a central role in supporting the research.

There are two divisions “System and Sciences” and “Business and Cultural Studies”. The division of “System and Sciences” promotes research development and problem-solving by information technology and its application. The division of “Business and Cultural Studies” promotes researches related to media and social information, organization management, and decision making. The aim of our graduate school is to develop researchers and professionals through multifaceted and comprehensive researches and also to contribute to the development of informatics that opens up the future. In addition, with the establishment of the faculty of Nursing, our graduate school has incorporated “healthcare informatics” as one of our research fields, which is based on the education of the faculty of Nursing to solve the problems in an aging society with a low birthrate.

Electronic-photonic technology is the most important technology for the infrastructure of modern society and it has even been said that the degree of development of this technology could control the fate of a nation. With the objective of the realization of new systems using the world's most advanced electronic and photonic technology, this course pursues research in areas such as properties, materials, device fabrication processes, and their application, as well as fostering futuristic leading professionals who have advanced knowledge and understanding of this field, and abundant creativity.

We will develop human resources who have specialized education in electrical and electronic engineering and a broad perspective. Established four educational fields of "electronic physical properties," "circuits," "energy," and "information and communications" for the development of new materials and devices. Now that advanced electrical and electronic engineering technology has become indispensable as a core technology that supports the highly information-oriented society, we will develop human resources with a wide range of perspectives and specialized backgrounds.

In the Department of Computational Science, students pursue the theories and methodologies related to science and technology using a computational approach, and support this with study of the theories and basic technologies of high-performance computation.

The Electronics, Information, and Life Science Engineering Major offers diverse fields of study, including optical, image, and visual information processing, autonomous Mobile robots, electronic properties and devices, computer applications, and voice, natural language processing, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell engineering, and genome technology.

This program offers a curriculum consisting of core subjects that supplement the basic knowledge acquired in undergraduate studies and numerous specialized subjects for students to learn about advanced fields. Research activities are emphasized to help students build the ability to think for themselves and to uncover and solve problems.

Here, we offer an educational system that can draw out the potential in each student through establishing a strong bond of cooperation between the University and industries. This course is very beneficial for students, as they can truly appreciate the potential of ICT. They can experience the process by which problems in society are analyzed and then connected to information technology.

HOKUSHO is the only graduate school in Hokkaido where you can get the qualification to sit for the certifying examination for “school psychologist.” You study the educational needs that the society in the future will seek, and you learn skills that enable you to play a leading role in educational study, social education, and school education. We train our students to be contributors to the construction of a society of lifelong learning.

The Graduate School of Information and Communications was established at Bunkyo University Shonan campus in April, 2005, along with the Graduate School of International Studies. These are the first two graduate schools at the Shonan Campus. The Graduate School of Information and Communications is aimed toward fostering human resources with professional expertise who have 1) knowledge about information systems, 2) the ability to use such knowledge in practical areas and 3) the ability to build an information system for customer's needs.

Modern information electronics covers a wide range of subjects including solid-state electronics, electronic devices constructed from semiconductors and superconductors, electronic circuits, electronic measurement and control, hardware and software for computers, and many other applications. The department organizes the following four fields for the studies to master the above subjects: （1）Solid State Electronics, （2）Electronic Measurement, （3）Information Electronics Systems, and （4）Applied Electronic Engineering. The students select lectures depending on their individual needs and goals and carry out research at one of the above divisions under the supervision of the advisors.

The IT revolution which started around 2000 has been renovating itself at an unprecedented speed in the fields of IoT and AI. This course is aimed at raising human resources capable of supporting the IT industry through tutorials with powerful faculty and systematic practical education programs. It is intended to make the matching of the needs of the individual student and the industry and raise students' skills and understanding of IT technology through certification acquisition instruction and technique training. We also provide engineering fundamental education such as applied mathematics/applied physics and practical English education. Students are encouraged to raise their abilities through teaching assistance in information-related courses of the department and training/part-time work at the information center on campus.

With the three areas of biological information measurement system, biological function control system, and system neuroengineering as the pillars of education and research, it is possible to accurately grasp the social situation and social needs of health and longevity, and integrate them with engineering seeds. We aim to train highly specialized engineers and researchers who have an intellectual background and can play an active role flexibly in a diversely changing society. In the area of ​​biometric information measurement systems, we conduct education and research on biometric monitoring systems and biometric information processing for the onset of pre-illness. The biological function control system provides education and research on the recovery of biological functions and assistive technologies. In the field of system neural engineering, we conduct education and research on the recovery of biological functions using neural functions and support systems. In addition, medical equipment and welfare equipment born from this education and research will be used for education and research on ubiquitous environment-related science to collaborate with people who live their daily lives.
