Vision & Philosophy

Message from the President

“Kyoto University of Advanced Science is evolving into a comprehensive university, which is engaged in the wide range of academic activities.
Each faculty and graduate school of the University will play important roles in addressing various problems that confront modern society in the immediate and near future, as well as the needs of society as a whole.
The evolution of robots and automated machines will bring about interactions with human beings not only in factories and workplaces but also in urban environments and households. Consequently, we are required to focus on real-world implementation, based on a full understanding of human behavior. The diverse academic disciplines we offer will help achieve that goal.
We will develop human resources who have the expertise, practical English ability, and fundamental skills required to become global citizens. As a university devoted to creating knowledge and developing human beings in response to global needs, we, the academic and administrative staff, along with students, will combine our collective strengths to establish the brand of Kyoto University of Advanced Science, while supporting you to achieve your dreams, hopes, and future.”
