Admissions Policy
Art is not only a fundamental force that has nurtured humanity up to this point in time, but also a force of
unknown potential to open up new avenues for the future.
Tama Art University respects the power of the arts that has established traditions, and supports the powerof the arts to transform itself for an unknown future. We creatively synthesize artistic tradition and artistic
innovation.
The arts will be deeply involved in an increasing number of fields (medical care, information, industry,
corporate management, space development, artificial intelligence, etc.) and will play an important role atthe intersection of these fields. The arts have the power to creatively connect various fields. By boldly
crossing the boundaries between art and design, technology and theory, and synthesizing various fields ofexpression in a new dimension, art will be renewed (innovated).
Doctoral Degree Program in Graduate School of Art and Design
The doctoral degree program in Tama Art University Graduate School of Art and Design is seeking
individuals who are not only independent creators and researchers of art, but are capable of opening up
new pathways in the future of art and the unknown possibilities of art, and creating new value in the arts,and those who will become global leaders and instructors in the field of art.
Therefore, the entrance examination for the doctoral degree program will test whether the applicant can not
only demonstrate various abilities as an expressive person in their area of specialization, but also whether
they can create a new field of expression itself, and whether they can express, research, and teach at aninternational level. In addition to creating value, they must also be able to pass that value on to future
generations, in other words, they must be creative in their ability to educate. The results must be presented
to society widely in the form of world-class works, books, etc., that mark an era and must be returned to the
public.
Applicants who have completed a master's degree (master's program) or have an equivalent qualification
are eligible to take the examination.

Selection Method
In the primary selection, document screening is performed based on the research plan, a summary of themaster's thesis or equivalent, portfolio (practical course applicants), list of research achievements (thesis
only applicants), and submitted documents (including the results of language and certification
examinations). For applicants who have passed the primary selection, secondary selection is performed
based on their submitted thesis, submitted artwork (only for practical course applicants), and oral
examination.

Concept of Entrance Examination
We aim to nurture human resources for future leadership positions with broad insight and skills in all
aspects of art and design, and to nurture artists and art theorists with the ability to make comprehensive
judgments that can respond to significant advances in academic research and social change. We requireapplicants to submit theses and works (only for practical course applicants) to examine the applicants'
