We foster students who can play an active role in the fields of things, architecture, environment, space, nature, and cities.
Specifically, you will first acquire the knowledge, logical thinking skills, and multifaceted creative ability required for design.
Next, students will use that knowledge to develop the specialist skills to discover unresolved architectural and environmental issues, find design methods that create new value, and put together concrete proposals.
Let's think together about designs that will enrich society.
01
Most areas related to design
You can learn.
Design is always needed to improve functionality and comfort in places where people are. Six fields that were previously studied separately, including objects, architecture, environment, space, nature, and cities, have been combined into one faculty. While focusing on the course (specialty) selected in the second year, students can also learn about other courses. Design for people is only possible when it is not bound by frameworks and is expanded.
02
The ability to succeed in the field you are aiming for
Learn efficiently.
You love design and you love people. But that's exactly why some people can't decide on a future career. In your first year, you'll be introduced to the learning of each course, and in the second semester of your first year, you'll take pre-courses for each course. You'll gain a solid understanding of your field and your image of your future career, and after understanding your own aspirations, you'll be able to choose a specialized course and steadily move towards your future.
03
All courses allow students to obtain qualifications to take the architect exam
Obtaining a teaching license (science/industry), etc.
Each course has its own characteristics.
When thinking about the future, it is better to have more opportunities. Therefore, we have created a curriculum that allows you to obtain the qualification to take the architect exam regardless of which course you choose. Another feature is that you can aim for a qualification that makes use of the characteristics of each course. It is also possible to aim for a teaching license for science and industry, which is rare in this academic field.
As urbanization progresses, creating sustainable urban environments and preserving the landscape are important issues in modern society.
There is also a demand for architectural and environmental planning skills that can respond to disasters such as earthquakes.
To realize an even richer and safer way of life, creativity and ingenuity in the field of design is also essential.
In order to meet the wide-ranging and diverse social needs in the fields of architecture and environmental design, we provide comprehensive small-group education to train "designers" who can work at the forefront of the field.
After learning a broad range of fundamentals, students split into six courses from their second year onwards to pursue specialisation.
All courses aim to obtain first-class and second-class architect qualifications.
Students can also aim to obtain qualifications or teaching licenses that utilize their specialized skills depending on the course.
(Application for teacher training course accreditation is currently underway. However, the timing of the planned opening of the teacher training course may change depending on the results of the review by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.)
Mono Design Course
Students will learn about and create designs that enrich people's lives across time and place.
architectural design course
Learn how to design the relationship between people and space appropriate for the future and create rich and diverse spaces.
Environmental Design Course
Through practical exercises that will lead to the creation of a sustainable society, students aim to become designers and planners in a wide range of fields, from park and green space design to urban development, resource circulation policies, and city planning.
Spatial Design Course
Students will learn how to accumulate information on the environmental characteristics of a space, the structural performance of a building, and more, and use this information freely to learn creative design and engineering.
Nature Design Course
Through fieldwork and experiments, students will learn practical methods for protecting the rich natural environment and for the sustainable development of the city. This fascinating science-filled learning will also train science teachers.
Urban Design Course
With the aim of creating safe, secure, and comfortable cities, students will learn urban design that makes full use of cutting-edge technologies such as digital technology.

Educational and research objectives
The Faculty of Architecture and Environmental Design trains practical designers who are creative, have a broad perspective, rich sensibilities, and solid technical skills in the specialized fields of design: urban infrastructure, living environments, people and nature, urban environments, architecture, interiors, crafts, and products, and who are able to create and maintain sustainable environments, spaces, and things that are beautiful, amenity, functional, and safe.
In addition, the school aims to train "well-rounded professionals" who can thrive in any field by utilizing the basic skills of designers (logical thinking, multifaceted design ability, problem-solving ability, rich sensibilities, communication skills, and information literacy including CAD, CG, AI, etc.).
