Who We Are

The School of Design and Science (SDS) at Chiba Tech is an antidisciplinary graduate school designed to be radically collaborative, project-first, and guided by principles—not rigid academic silos.

At SDS, you’ll define your own intellectual path, cross traditional boundaries, and work closely with visionary faculty and peers from different backgrounds to tackle real-world complexity.

Become part of a vibrant, global community at SDS. We provide a supportive, inclusive environment where diverse perspectives come together to generate meaningful impact.

English is the official language of SDS—used consistently in classes, collaboration, and informal interactions.

Learning

At SDS, graduate education is redesigned around Practical Antidisciplinary Problem Solving. From the moment you start, you’ll immerse yourself in collaborative, impactful projects—tackling real-world problems that transcend traditional academic boundaries.

Alongside these projects, you’ll deepen your understanding through carefully crafted Principles courses that directly inform your practical work. Complementing these foundational experiences, you’ll have access to a diverse set of electives, spanning cutting-edge topics in design, culture, computation, science, and ethics.

At every step, you’ll collaborate closely with pioneering faculty who value creative risk, tangible impact, and curiosity-driven inquiry, preparing you to lead and innovate in a complex world.

Research

We approach research with an antidisciplinary mindset—blurring traditional academic boundaries and encouraging open, collaborative exploration. Instead of focusing solely on isolated disciplines or conventional publishing, we prioritize meaningful questions, real-world impact, and cooperation across diverse perspectives.

Our research often takes the form of tangible projects and practical experiments, inviting everyone involved to contribute ideas and shape outcomes. This fluid, exploratory approach helps us to stay flexible, curious, and responsive to complex, evolving challenges.
