Laurea in Social Media

The Social Media Course focuses on the study of how media technology connects individuals to society. Here students will think about future methods and systems that will support education and social services, businesses, and social networking services. By encouraging students to have a diverse perspective on how society and media interact, including multimedia ads and marketing in the age of the internet, the course nurtures individuals who are capable of developing revolutionary ideas.

Established in 1986, the Tokyo University of Technology is commemorating its 25th anniversary in 2011. It should be noted, however, that the foundation of its predecessor as an educational corporation dates back to 1947; thus, the educational corporation itself celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2007.

Whereas Tokyo University of Technology originally started out in Hachioji, Tokyo, as a single-faculty college with only the School of Engineering, it has now grown into a university with five faculties spanning two campuses: Hachioji and Kamata, Tokyo.
