The Department of Informatics and Media Design focuses on design theories and techniques relating to interface planning that connects humans with media space and media design created by audio/visual technologies.

While the structural changes of information society caused largely by the revolution of digital technology are rapidly going on, a phenomenon of media convergence is emerging in the various journalistic fields. The Graduate School of Journalism and Media is established to pursuit new principles of public interest as well as to build new theories of ethics of journalism and media in the midst of increasingly changing globalized community. Graduate school has two purposes to both educate students and train journalistic professionals. In order to accomplish these purposes, the two courses are placed in the graduate school where the faculty is composed of academics and resident journalists. The Graduate School contributes to improving the quality of journalism as a whole through education and training.

This course can be broadly split into two components. The first is to establish a core research community in fields such as visual, spatial, and cyber media (which have not been adequately covered by the arts or the humanities in the past) and newly emerging fields gaining in social importance, as well as teaching current arts and media issues from a specialist, practical perspective. The main objective is to develop students’ theoretical understanding of areas such as media literacy, which lie outside the framework of existing art theories yet have real relevance to social realities, while also providing practical training to develop their media-processing skills on the computer.

Through the two areas of basic psychological research and research on media and information communication and communication involving humans, we aim to develop human resources with advanced knowledge and skills in psychological and communication science. As a common purpose of the entire field, it is effective to acquire a methodology that can objectively approach various problems of human society and to have the ability to perform scientific verification and communication based on easy-to-understand explanations and empirical data. The aim is to develop the ability to give presentations and convince them to carry out the required projects. In the field of psycho science, the training of aspiring researchers who have acquired a high level of understanding and research methods on human behavior and psychology, and in the field of communication science, various things related to "people, media, and society" that are becoming more diverse. We analyze problems scientifically and train human resources who can play an active role in a wide range of fields in the information media society that connects people to people and people to society.

Diverse forms of media link people together in a way that helps eliminate boundaries. The Josai International University Faculty of Media Studies offers studies in various advanced media areas.
