The University of Tokyo (Todai) is gearing up to launch a study program focused on the Metaverse before the end of the year.

The primary objective of this initiative is to address the shortage of skilled professionals in the field of digital transformation and advanced technologies in Japan.

The university plans to offer Metaverse courses for both high school and university students, conducted within the Metaverse environment under Todai’s engineering faculty. Upon successful completion of these courses, students will receive certificates.

This educational endeavor aims to democratize access to engineering and informatics knowledge, making it available to individuals of all ages, genders, social statuses, and residences.

The curriculum will cover subjects such as artificial intelligence (AI), new-generation communication technology, and entrepreneurship training for university students, while high school students will receive fundamental technological knowledge.
