SAK University at the High School-College Connection Conference

SAK University, located in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is excited to announce its exhibition at the upcoming High School-College Connection Conference scheduled for May 27, 2025. This event, organized by the Arrow Educational Research Institute, will take place at Bellesalle Akihabara and aims to showcase innovative educational solutions that bridge gaps in accessibility and diversity.

The Vision of SAK University

Founded with the mission to provide flexible and practical learning opportunities, SAK University addresses pressing social issues such as regional disparities, second career paths, and cutting-edge IT education. Our institution aims to empower underserved communities and individuals through transformative educational experiences, irrespective of geographical location or age.

In partnership with the University of Essex, we offer a curriculum centered around Computer Science and AI Engineering, taught in Japanese, which adheres to the rigorous standards of British higher education. Students can obtain a bachelor's degree in Computer Science within three years—equivalent to a four-year Japanese university degree—followed by a postgraduate qualification in Computer Science and Security during their fourth year.

Cutting-Edge Educational Approach

During the conference, we will present our advanced education model that includes apprenticeship programs linked with corporate partners and curriculum development that utilizes generative AI. Attendees will have the chance to engage with faculty members, receive informative materials, and participate in individual consultations to discuss their educational needs.

This is an exceptional opportunity for educational institutions aiming to explore new pathways for their students, as well as for those considering a second career or showing interest in IT and global education initiatives.
