The University of Tokyo is launching its brand-new College of Design in September 2027 the first new undergraduate college established by the university in decades.

What makes it unique?

✅ Entirely taught in English
✅ Designed for both Japanese and international students
✅ Focuses on solving real-world challenges through design thinking
✅ Combines technology, business, social sciences, policy, and creativity
✅ Strong emphasis on innovation, leadership, and global impact

The program is expected to welcome around 100 students per year, with approximately half of the seats available for international applicants.

This is a great opportunity for students who are interested in areas such as AI, technology, entrepreneurship, sustainability, product innovation, and human-centered design.

Applications are expected to open in late 2026, with the first cohort beginning their studies in September 2027.

If you're a high school student, IB student, A-Level student, or an aspiring global innovator looking to study in Japan, this is definitely a program worth exploring.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss studying, working, or building a career in Japan.

What happens when India’s engineering talent meets Japan’s technology ambitions?

At AGG, together with , we are working to answer that question by building stronger talent and industry connections between the two countries.

During my recent visit to India, I had the opportunity to engage with leading institutions including IIT Bombay and COEP Technological University to explore collaboration opportunities and discuss the growing demand for highly skilled engineers in Japan.

We are currently supporting Japanese companies seeking professionals in:

• Semiconductor Physical Design and Logic Design
• Analog IC Design
• VLSI and EDA Tool Engineering
• MLCC (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor) Engineering
• Japanese-speaking Technical and Bridge Engineering Roles

Japan’s semiconductor and advanced manufacturing sectors are experiencing significant growth, creating exciting opportunities for engineers who are ready to contribute to cutting-edge technologies and global innovation.

Our vision goes beyond recruitment. We aim to create a sustainable ecosystem that connects education, industry, language training, and career opportunities between Japan and India.

If you have experience in semiconductor design, analog design, physical design, MLCC development, electronics engineering, or Japanese language skills and are interested in opportunities in Japan, feel free to connect.

Together, we can build the next generation of Japan–India technology collaboration.

During my recent visit to Taiwan, one thing stood out in almost every conversation with engineers and professionals many families are now considering moving to Japan.

The reason becomes very clear once you see what’s happening in Kumamoto.

With TSMC expanding its presence in Japan, Kumamoto is rapidly emerging as one of Asia’s most important semiconductor hubs. Global suppliers are entering the region, international talent is relocating, and the entire ecosystem around semiconductors is growing at an incredible pace.

What’s most interesting is that this transformation is going beyond factories and technology. It is influencing hiring trends, workforce movement, local economies, housing, and the future of global semiconductor talent.

At CodeTots, we are actively hiring for major semiconductor companies in Japan for positions including:

• MLCC Product Development
• Physical Design
• RTL Design
• Semiconductor Electroplating Engineer
• Electroplating Specialist
• Digital Layout
• Analog Layout

If you are interested in building your semiconductor career in Japan, we would be happy to connect with experienced professionals exploring new opportunities.

Japan KAKEHASHI Project, a powerful initiative by the Japanese government aimed at strengthening global connections through cultural and professional exchange.

The program focuses on creating a “bridge” between Japan and the world by giving participants firsthand exposure to Japan’s education system, work culture, and innovation ecosystem.

There are two key formats:

🔹 Asia KAKEHASHI Project+
A fully funded opportunity for high school students to study in Japan for several months, experience local culture, and build global perspectives early in life.

🔹 KAKEHASHI Project (Short-Term Exchange)
A 7–10 day immersive program for students and young professionals, including visits to universities, companies, and cultural institutions across Japan.

💡 What stands out:
- Fully/mostly funded by the Japanese government
- Strong focus on cross-cultural understanding
- Access to academic, corporate, and policy networks
- Opportunity to become long-term ambassadors between countries

As someone working closely with international recruitment and Japan-focused talent pipelines, I see immense value in programs like this—not just for cultural exchange, but for building future global talent aligned with Japan’s evolving workforce needs.

If you’re a student, young professional, or someone interested in Japan, this is definitely worth exploring.

Apply via Implementing Organization (JICE)

At Codetots, we had the opportunity to work closely with the Federation of Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry during their Japan visit 🇯🇵🤝🇮🇳

From Tokyo (SMRJ, JETRO, Embassy of India, and JIWF) to Nagoya and Osaka, the focus was on building strong SME connections and partnerships.

One clear takeaway SME collaboration between India and Japan is growing rapidly. At the same time, the demand for skilled talent in Japan continues to rise, and we are actively supporting recruitment for Japanese companies.

Another shift Japan is becoming more selective with engineers from abroad. Language is now as important as technical skills, as engineering here involves communication, teamwork, and documentation.

For those planning to work in Japan:
Skills + Experience + Language + Consistency

The bar is rising but so are the opportunities.
