Vision

World Leading University to Advance Science and Technology for the Prosperity of Humankind

Cultivating creative global leaders who will usher in new scientific paradigms through convergence in science and technology

Goal

To be ranked within the Top 10 science and technology universities by 2030

Strategies

• Creativity

  IT-based student-centered discussion classes (flipped learning)

• Interdisciplinary
  Education

  All students are required to complete two or more areas of concentration. All professors are appointed to undertake two or more schools.

• Globalization

  To promote globalization as well as our research and education, 100 percent of our academic courses are conducted in English. We also hope to increase the number of international students and professors by 20 percent by 2030.

• Research
  Intensive

  Thrust areas of current research: next-generation energy and advanced materials (bio-materials, energy materials, composite materials, carbon materials)
