The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics (KCGI) will increase the number of students enrolled in 2020 from 480 to 600.In December 2019, the change was submitted to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.This is 7.5 times the admission capacity of 80 students when the school opened in 2004.As the first IT professional graduate school in Japan, we will continue our efforts to foster leaders who will lead the IT industry in Japan and abroad.
While IT for business applications continues to make progress, according to the human resource supply estimates by the three ministries of Economy, Trade and Industry, Health, Labor and Welfare, and Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, there will be a shortage of more than 220,000 IT personnel in Japan as of 2018.
Under these circumstances, the university, which has nurtured top leaders in the field of IT applications and produced competent human resources, is attracting increasing attention, and the number of applicants for admission from Japan and abroad is rapidly growing.In response to this situation, the university has decided to increase its admission capacity in order to meet the demands of society. With the increase in the admission capacity, the admission capacity will be 1,080 in FY2020 and 1,200 in FY2021 and thereafter.
