Our Programming Education
At the University of Aizu, students begin intensely studying programming languages immediately after their enrollment.
This is to satisfy the desire of new students who are itching to work with our computers.
It is also based on our hope that students will quickly learn about many facets of programming so that they can apply their knowledge to a broad range of fields.
Our English Language Education
As English is the lingua franca of computer science and engineering, a high-level of English proficiency is essential. This is why our foreign language education focuses on English, rather than offering other foreign languages. (UoA students are required to surpass a certain TOEIC score in order to be promoted to year three.)
All of our students are also required to prepare and present their graduation theses in English, something that has attracted the attention of IT companies.
