Office for Planning and Promotion (OPM)

The University of Aizu aims to become a front-line university providing the most excellent range of the most up-to-date educational and research activities in the field of computer science and engineering internationally. It is a unique institution unparalleled by any other existing Japanese university’s hiring policy of internationally open and competitive faculty positions. International faculty members filled the majority of seats at the beginning.
