graduate program Music/Art/Design

Post Graduate [Music]

This program offers students an opportunity to cultivate real artistry after they have acquired the fundamental techniques required of musicians in their four years as undergraduates. The graduate course for music operates as the top institution for music education, where students develop the artistic expression, sophistication, and awareness of a professional performer. Over this two-year course, faculty members are responsible for providing personal, individual instruction to each student, while both faculty and students work together as musicians to enhance their musical awareness and explore deeper musical expression.

Post Graduate [Art]

Aimed at developing researchers, authors, and other professionals, the graduate program for art and design consists of five research areas focusing on creation and two research areas focusing on art theory. In addition to acquiring students knowledge and abilities through study of the taught educational curricula, importance is also placed on evolving the foundations of independent creative practice, with students required to use their own initiative and research skills to broaden their knowledge and deepen their understanding of their art.

Post Graduate [Design]

The post-graduate design program consists of five specialized areas of design. All specializations incorporate "ecological design" as a common theme, sharing the network that links each discipline with other areas of study. At the same time we have created a learning environment that enables students to gain expertise in their particular subjects while bringing a highly-civilized perspective to the issues arising in their respective fields. Meanwhile, the program offers a place to acquire the knowledge and skills that can lift students to the higher reaches of their professions, with the objective of fostering the talent capable of leading the way in the design industry's next generation throughout the world.
