Based on the Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences' founding principles, we strive to help our students acquire a high-level of creative ability. We aim to provide excellent guidance for student research, deploying interdisciplinary and practical courses and holding advanced classes with an appropriate combination of lecture, training, and hands-on experience in order to help them systematically acquire specialized knowledge.

• Special research classes and project classes help students develop a wide base of knowledge and practical ability to meet society's demands, establishing a foundation that will allow them to flourish as creators.
• Comprehensive classes in which students judge for themselves and question the social significance of their research.
• Specialized courses as well as production practice courses, in order to systematically help students to gain specialized knowledge and learn of unique methodologies.
• Introductory courses where students develop all-purpose skills required for research: identifying problems, coming up with a plan, solving them, creating, communicating, etc.

Based on the Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences' founding principles, our goal is to educate high-level creators who create new forms of culture with scientific techniques and a philosophical and ideological perspective. Within our curriculum organized to fulfill this purpose, students must pass a final thesis or final thesis and project examination along with a final examination in addition to completing a designated number of credits in order to receive their graduate diploma. At that time examiners will address the following:

• Has the student acquired the ability required to be considered at a level of special expertise and the ability necessary to be an independent artist, designer, engineer, researcher, or educator?
• Did the student demonstrate high-level thinking skills and a strong sense of responsibility, achieving a result that addressed modern social problems and contributed to the happiness of future generations?
• Could the student actively engage with others specializing in various fields regardless of their research area to acquire new forms of knowledge borne from those interactions?
