Management of Technology (MOT) can be defined as the creative and strategic management of innovation that empowers companies and organizations with technology at the core of their business to consistently generate future-forward businesses and achieve sustainable growth.

In this rapidly changing world driven by technology and innovation, we recognize the profound importance of developing capable and innovative individuals who can actively contribute to the self-sustaining development of regional economies and the creation of chain innovations. Our school's philosophy revolves around this very premise.

At the Graduate School of Innovation and Technology Management, Yamaguchi University (YUMOT), we aim to equip our students with an understanding of both technology and management, allowing them to address complex issues in society, businesses, and organizations. Our focus lies in honing the professional management skills necessary for R&D and technological development, vital for the revitalization and sustainable development of global and regional industries.

We are deeply honored to host a diverse student body, with many of our students originating from regions such as the Asia-Pacific, notably ASEAN countries, China, and Africa. ASEAN countries and Africa are undergoing remarkable economic development and are expected to host flourishing businesses in the future. China, on the other hand, is recognized for its steadily maturing and globally influential economy. We believe that our international students gain an immense wealth of knowledge by studying Japan's extraordinary economic recovery and development following World War II. This unique educational opportunity offers invaluable insights into how to navigate and prosper in periods of significant economic growth and change. We invite you to explore the opportunities that await you at our YUMOT.

YUMOT provides a robust and adaptable educational system. Our carefully crafted programs aim to develop the abilities required for students to become indispensable assets in companies, playing an active role in the global marketplace.

We look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant community and assisting you on your journey of discovery, growth, and innovation.
