In recent years, there is frequent cross-over of differing fields and artistic areas in the arts environment, including the incorporation of cutting-edge media, and the various fields are becoming increasingly interrelated. This university offers a single doctoral course in The Arts which is a synthesis of the five Master's Program courses in Literary Arts, Image Arts, Fine Art and Design, Musical Arts, and Performing Arts that has been created due to these current artistic conditions. Also, this course functions as a space for developing new creative theories by focusing on investigation into your own personal specialization field while incorporating other research fields into your perspective. This program allows adult students to enroll as well (as a special case for the education method specified in Article 14 of the established standards of the graduate school), and the day and evening course system is an unusual and distinctive feature.
Individuals who have already completed a master's or doctoral degree program can continue studying their area of specialization with more advance research while working in academia, research facilities, or companies, and this program also provides an opportunity for up-and-coming researchers to extend beyond their field and take the initiative to study new areas of the arts.
