Faculty of Human Informatics
“Human beings”, “technique”, and “information” are studied in an integrated fashion, building expert abilities and a wide perspective in every industry in society.
Department of Human Informatics
 The three series Human Analysis, Content Design, and Resource Management are interlinked to foster an understanding of human characteristics and the skills to synthesize knowledge and technology for use in information handling and monozukuri (craftsmanship). The wide breadth mastered over the four-year course will be applicable to any industry in society.
Human Analysis Series – analysis and measurement
Psychology Series
A deep understanding into human characteristics is needed before human-friendly technologies and services can be formed. In the Human Analysis series, students study the cognitive characteristics of humans, including sight, hearing, and feelings, as well as behavioral characteristics, and learn techniques to measure and evaluate those characteristics through practice. This knowledge and these techniques will be valuable for reevaluating the information and technology learned in the other series from a perspective of the human sciences.
Content Design Series – design and production
Human Dynamics Series
The aim in the Content Design series is to acquire practical techniques based on ergonomics and informatics studied in the other series. Besides design, system design, and databases, students receive practical training working with computer graphics, movies, sound, and robots, building up production experience in actual content and system production. Students master skills for creating human-friendly objects and services based on knowledge related to humans and information.
Resource Management Series – management and operation
Library and Information Science Series
As they learn about information and the characteristics of media, students come to understand the continuous flow from information production to distribution and supply. They also pursue information use from the aspects of human cognition and psychology in this Resource Management series. Focusing on the connection between information and people from the aspect of human social action, students develop their ability to accurately evaluate and analyze information that has been distorted, or that is even severely polluted. They also learn to use and communicate that information.
