Our University's Policy on BYOD
Currently, in Japan, education up to high school is promoting education that utilizes ICT (Information and Communication Technology) by having each student learn using one device. The use of ICT is also progressing in society, and when university students look for jobs, they are being asked to do activities that assume the use of ICT, such as online interviews.
Therefore, in order to ensure that all students who enroll will graduate with sufficient knowledge of ICT and be able to play an even more active role in the society of the future, our university has decided to develop education and classes that utilize ICT under the premise of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) from next year (2025). Through four years of study at our university using BYOD, we hope that students will gain experience in using online tools and services while setting up and managing their own devices, and graduate with the knowledge of ICT.
At our university, we plan to develop an environment where students can study "anytime, anywhere" by using digital materials, in addition to taking quizzes and submitting assignments on a laptop and other media-based classes, on the premise that students must bring a laptop with them when they come to school. We hope that students will continue to learn according to their own circumstances while using a laptop, and thereby acquire the ability to learn independently. We believe that the ability to learn independently is a very important skill for living a rich life in the future society, where new things are constantly being created and are constantly changing.

Q&A
Q&A
Use at universities
- Why has a laptop become a must-have?
- In response to the fact that the use of ICT (information and communication technology) is becoming a given in society, Osaka Sangyo University University has decided to make laptops mandatory from 2025 and to develop education and classes that utilize ICT under the premise of BYOD, so that students who enroll will graduate with a sufficient understanding of how to use ICT and be able to play an even more active role in the society of the future. In addition, we will develop an environment where students can study "anytime, anywhere" using laptops, and we hope that students will acquire the ability to study independently by continuing to study according to their own circumstances.
- Do I have to prepare a laptop computer?
- We expect you to prepare a laptop computer. At universities, classes are conducted on the assumption that students have a laptop computer, and job hunting activities, such as online interviews, are now expected to use ICT.
- Do I have to bring my laptop with me every day?
- We expect you to bring your laptop every day. In class, there will be more and more situations where you will need a laptop, such as using Word on your own device or viewing materials. One of the purposes of BYOD is to improve your skills by gaining experience in managing and using devices. Even if you are not required to use a laptop in class, we recommend that you actively use one within the scope of the instructor's approval.
About purchasing a computer
- Is there a recommended PC?
- 本学推奨ノートPCについては、取引先業者による「新入生向け限定プラン」をご用意しております。
こちらからご確認ください。 - I already own a laptop with the same specifications as the one used by the faculty or department I am planning to enroll in. Do I need to purchase a new one?
- No need to buy anything new, just use your existing laptop.
- I already own a laptop that does not meet the specifications for the faculty or department I am planning to enroll in. Do I need to purchase a new one?
- Unless you think that the performance of your current laptop is significantly insufficient, there is no need to purchase a new one. Please use the laptop you already have. Please consider purchasing a new one after checking the need for performance while actually taking classes. However, please be sure to prepare a laptop that meets the recommended specifications, as there is a high possibility that the apps used in classes at the Faculty of Architecture and Environmental Design will not work.
*You can use it even if your OS is Windows 10, but please note that support will end on October 14, 2025. You cannot use it on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 as support has ended. - 建築?環境デザイン学部に入学予定です。仕様を満たす高度なスペックのPCが家電量販店では販売していません。どうすればよいですか？

ご不明な点がありましたら、お問い合わせフォームよりご相談ください。 - I don't have a laptop for personal use and it is financially difficult for me to purchase one. What should I do?
- As a temporary substitute for a laptop, if you have a smartphone or tablet, please install Microsoft apps (Word, Excel, etc.) and use them. If you have a shared laptop at home, please use it as much as possible. We are currently considering measures to ensure learning opportunities even for those who have difficulty purchasing a laptop. We will announce the details on this web page as soon as they are decided.
- Can I use a tablet? Do I have to buy a laptop?
- We expect you to bring your own laptop. In class, you will need to use a laptop more and more, such as using Word on your own device and viewing documents. In addition, regardless of the type of job or industry, working adults are required to have computer skills. Our university expects you to acquire computer skills and then use a tablet as a temporary substitute for a laptop when you are considering purchasing a laptop or when your laptop breaks down. Please consult with the instructor of the class, as there is a high possibility that the apps used in classes at the Faculty of Architecture and Environmental Design will not work.
