Graduate School of Design and Architecture
Outline
In order for students to acquire a profound understanding of, and a broad outlook and rich sensitivity toward human beings, and advanced knowledge and ability related to science and technology, the Graduate School of Design and Architecture aims to train students to make progress as professionals or researchers through creative research and production. The Doctoral Program (Masterʼs Course and Doctorʼs Course), having three disciplines (Informatics and Media Design, Industrial Innovation Design, and Architecture and Urban Design) trains students to solve various problems in society, and also acquire the ability to make a specific approach based on their respective disciplines to the realization of human happiness.
Master's and Doctoral Program in Informatics and Media Design Area
The students acquire knowledge and skills mainly related to interface design, audio-visual design, and information and communication engineering, engaging in research and creation of the advanced information design. This program nurtures information and communication engineers, software engineers, media designers/artists and researchers.
Master's and Doctoral Program in Industrial Innovation Design Area
This area fuses the power of expressing oneʼs own ideas and sentiments, such as expressiveness and form-giving, and disciplines for scientifically understanding natural phenomena and the inner world of emotion, such as physics and psychology, into one, and cultivates persons related to technology and design in the industrial area.
Master's and Doctoral Program in Architecture and Urban Design Area
The students acquire knowledge and skills mainly related to architectural planning and designing, structural engineering, environment building facilities, cities and regions, and engaging in research and production of the advanced architecture and urban design. This program nurtures architects, designers, urban planners, structure and environment engineers and researchers.
