Highlights of SAK University's Participation

1. Early Application System

In response to a concentration of candidates that occurs in January for the 2026 entrance exams, SAK University has established a new early application system. This initiative encourages students to make timely decisions regarding their future. Applications have already commenced, allowing potential candidates to apply through general selection or via a pathway program that offers free lectures in Information I. More details will be available at the SAK University booth during the event.

2. Practical IT and AI Education

SAK University offers a unique curriculum that equips students with both a university degree and postgraduate qualifications in IT and AI. All instructors are active engineers, providing students with firsthand experience and skills that are directly applicable in real-world systems development. The AI courses include exclusive content that is still limited within Japan, enabling students to learn data science and AI in a hands-on manner. The curriculum is tailored to help students progress at their own pace, from foundational studies to advanced research in AGI and societal governance.

We aim to cultivate individuals who can identify and solve societal challenges, emphasizing transferable skills such as communication, problem-solving, and logical thinking through a practical learning approach. These transferable skills ensure that our graduates can thrive in a rapidly changing environment.

3. Partnership with the University of Essex

SAK University represents a groundbreaking educational institution where students can receive world-class education based on a curriculum certified by the University of Essex, taught in Japanese. Students can earn a bachelor's degree in Computer Science over three years and continue into graduate programs in the fourth year to obtain postgraduate diplomas. The university also facilitates programs for students to study in the UK, enhancing opportunities for obtaining master's and doctoral degrees abroad.

4. English Language Learning Support

To facilitate pathways to studying in the UK, students will need an IELTS score of 6.5 (with no sub-score less than 5.5). SAK University provides free conversational English training with native instructors as part of its comprehensive English education system.
