Professional University of Electric Mobility Systems

The Professional University of Electric Mobility Systems is a vocational institution in Iide that focuses on electric vehicle engineering and autonomous driving technology. The school operates modern laboratory facilities and maintains direct partnerships with automotive manufacturers in the surrounding area.

The school was founded in 2023 and was the first specialized vocational university approved by the education ministry in northeastern Japan. It was established in response to growing industry interest in electric mobility and advanced transportation technologies.

The university reflects Japan's commitment to innovative transportation solutions through dedicated programs that combine technical expertise with industrial partnerships.

Visitors can view the campus through scheduled appointments, though opening depends on the current operational status. It is advisable to contact the institution in advance to confirm availability and access arrangements.

The school received substantial government funding at its launch but managed to enroll only a handful of students and soon had to suspend new admissions. This challenge reflects the difficulties in establishing new vocational fields in rural areas of Japan.
