In the era of digital transformation, Information Technology stands out as a high-potential field actively sought after by employers. It is forecasted that by 2025, the IT sector will face an annual shortage of 150,000 to 190,000 professionals—particularly those who are highly skilled and proficient in English to participate in international projects.

At the NTT Institute of International Education (NIIE), the Information Technology program is structured with a focus on Software Engineering, aiming to train competent engineers with strong technical skills and fluent English. Graduates are equipped to take on roles in software analysis, design, programming, testing, operations, maintenance, and system administration for both local and international enterprises.

In addition, the Technology and Innovation specialization develops students’ creative thinking and technological application in business and startups, with a focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and other cutting-edge technologies.

The program adopts advanced international curricula, ensuring students stay up to date with the latest knowledge. It emphasizes practical learning through collaboration with industry experts, real-world projects, and internships at IT companies.

Students’ English proficiency is also systematically developed through an integrated English program, progressing from beginner level up to B2 standard (equivalent to IELTS 5.5–6.0).

Beyond technical training, students also cultivate essential soft skills—such as communication, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship—empowering them to succeed and advance in diverse work environments.
