Our course curriculum allows you to master MOT and cutting edge technologies

In order to create the leaders of tomorrow's technology management businesses, it is not enough just to provide knowledge about technology management. It is critical that the education provide the chance to get a feel for cutting edge technologies and the front lines of the businesses they are involved in, and develop a keen sense of recognizing what the problems are and the chance to network.

For that reason, we invite guest lecturers from industry leaders, who bring with them actual case studies of the innovations in their own cutting edge companies. These classes put an emphasis on in-class debate and group activities.

At the very same time, our campus-wide support system allows each individual student to select their Course Menu ala carte style according to their own interests and purposes; this means you can concentrate on and study selectively in the fields you wish—the specific technological courses and the areas of intellectual property management and financial engineering.

From the creation of a new technology to its commercialization, we educate our students so they can take a leadership role in the strategy, management and operations necessary for effectively activating the innovation creation cycle.
