Nagasaki Institute of Applied Science A Message from the President

At present, Japan is facing many challenges: a major shift to green energy, the revival of the semiconductor industry, the promotion of digitization and DX (Digital Transformation), the shift from gasoline vehicles to EVs. Nagasaki Institute of Applied Science has many professors who are playing leading roles in research and development toward these issues, for example, utilization of ocean energy and biomass resources, highly efficient power conversion and management system technology for renewable energy including solar cells, development of electric propulsion (EP) technology for ships, automobiles and satellites, advanced semiconductor technology - AI semiconductors and three-dimensional stacked integrated circuits, fundamental science including high energy physics, intelligent information technology such as AI, cutting-edge healthcare technology, and revitalization of local economies. Under their guidance, many enthusiastic students are engaged in their studies and participate in various research projects. The Japanese science magazine Newton, published in 2021, presents a ranking of research strengths of science and engineering universities, and this university is ranked 33rd (10th among private universities), a good rating for the size of the university.

We hope you can take advantage of these strengths to dream and imagine a new social stage for the next generation at this university, which has both excellent technology and people, so that you can go to "the one step further stage" in your studies. We hope that you will enroll in this university and graduate school (excellent professors and fellow students are waiting for you!), and then you can gain great "intellectual power" to make your "dreams" come true. Let us work together to realize “the one step further stage”. We hope you can take advantage of these strengths to dream and imagine a new social stage for the next generation at this university, which has both excellent technology and people, so that you can go to "the one step further stage" in your studies.
