Creating Digital Content and Services to Enrich Life,
Business and Culture
From text and data to sound and images, from computer graphics to virtual reality – the media, our means of communicating with each other and interacting with society, are becoming more diverse, yet ever more human-friendly. Tokyo University of Technology’s School of Media Science, the first of its kind in Japan, aims to educate young students to become professionals in creating advanced digital content that will innovate the way we conduct business and the way we communicate.
Now that the term “media” refers not only to the mere conveying of information by newspapers and television but also to how we interact with society and industry, media science calls for an interdisciplinary approach from a multitude of conventional fields, including natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. The School of Media Science therefore has a versatile faculty consisting of famed scholars and experts in diverse fields, ranging from information technology and electronics to sociology, economics and digital arts.
