Developing diverse ideas and creativity
Using the rich learning that art has to offer as a foundation, students will acquire diverse ways of thinking, methods, and expressions within each field. On top of that, they will research the optimal methods and materials for achieving their own unique expressions, and will be trained to become artists with their own "personal perspective."
Media Arts Major
While traversing five domains,
Exploring newly emerging ideas and next-generation forms of expression.
There are five areas of study: media art, video art, animation, games, and manga. By deeply exploring a specific field and acquiring a wide range of both digital and analog tools, we aim to nurture creators and artists who can create a new world of media art.
Research Lab Picks
Art major
The essential nature of three-dimensional sculpture
Learn the essence,
Expressing shapes in space with your own hands
It is difficult to learn everything about three-dimensional modeling in four years, but you can learn many materials and methods of expression on your own. From there, you can develop the sense necessary to become an independent artist.
Media Arts Major
The harmony of art and technology
Future animation creators
The door to it is here
This is an animation seminar for students who are interested in 3DCG works. We respect each student's theme and pursue their own style while developing practical skills and techniques in the class. Through the various challenges and problems that students encounter during production, we pursue "expression" and focus on the process of developing "skills" to explore the path of an artist.

Graduate Interview

Kurume Commercial High School / Fukuoka
- Employment
- Clover Work Co., Ltd.
I approached everything with a "nothing ventured, nothing gained" attitude, taking a positive approach. I quickly contacted companies that didn't offer internships, and actively applied to companies I wanted to work for, even if I felt I lacked the necessary skills. I believe that my willingness to take on challenges without fear of failure, and my ability to create my application materials and portfolio at my own pace without being swayed by the surrounding circumstances, led to my success in the job search.
