The Faculty of Data Science serves as an educational and research hub for data science, a discipline that opens new frontiers for humanity by utilizing vast accumulated information to achieve "knowledge creation." In today's society, it has become possible to create innovative services and values that were previously unimaginable by leveraging diverse data generated across all domains, including web search and electronic payment history data, photos and video content uploaded to social media, and sensor data collected from IoT devices.

Our faculty comprehensively develops analytical skills to accurately interpret data based on statistical and mathematical foundations, creativity to generate new value from data using AI and machine learning technologies, and business acumen to spread that value throughout society and drive innovation, thereby producing next-generation data scientists.

The Asia AI Institute at Musashino University was established as a base for Artificial Intelligence Technologies (AIT) with the aim of bringing innovation to global society through research outcomes. The Institute provides a platform to create collaborative activities among organizations across Asia and the world, including industry, businesses, government, and academia.

With the vision of "collaborating across Japan, Asia, and Europe to contribute to the advancement of global AI scientific research and human development," the Institute was launched at the establishment of the Faculty of Data Science as a research institution conducting advanced international AI research. It aims to serve as a hub for leading AI research that contributes to the world through collaboration among research institutions, researchers, government agencies, and companies across Japan, Asia, and Europe.

The Graduate School of Data Science is a hub for developing highly specialized professionals in the data science field, following Japan's first private Data Science Faculty in 2019, with the Master's program launched in April 2021 and Doctoral program in April 2023. Led by Professor Yasushi Kiyoki, former Chair of Keio University's Graduate School of Media and Governance, the school develops cutting-edge research and education based on three main pillars: "Data Science Technology," "Data Science Applications," and "Social Innovation."

Our graduate school constructs advanced education and research systems through eight research projects, based on interdisciplinary research and international collaboration. We provide cutting-edge learning that integrates theory and practice through foundational and specialized courses, international internships, and research guidance from the first year. Based on Japan's "AI Strategy 2019," we develop data science professionals who become international leaders in global society, aiming to produce world-class top-tier talent.

The International Faculty of Data Science serves as an academic hub that provides new solution methodologies through data science for the increasingly complex social and natural environmental challenges on a global scale. Data science is gaining attention as a new academic field that enables the overview, sharing, analysis, clarification, discovery, and improvement of issues in information space. In the industrial sector, the development of human resources with advanced application capabilities utilizing data science expertise and new technologies has become essential for corporate innovation creation.

Our faculty develops next-generation data scientists who acquire cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge and skills, analyze massive data (big data) collected in various social contexts, and create new businesses that thrive in global society.
