BA/BS in Design Department

The Department of Design (芸術学部デザイン学科) examines the design behind everyday objects, from buildings and industrial products to advertising, books and smartphones. Students begin with a broad foundation and then choose one of four specialist fields in the third year of study. Each field offers a path into the professional design world. The field choice shapes the rest of each student's study. Students who join a research laboratory develop their work to a professional standard through to graduation. Illustration students, for example, graduate into three different career paths, including one in which they build an original artistic identity. The department's blog and social media accounts share student work and departmental news. Prospective students can find the department's curriculum details on the official faculty pages.
