Keio University's Graduate School of Media Design is committed to fostering "Media Innovators" and creative global leaders who understand the core creative skills of design, technology, management, and policy in the field of media design. Education will take a practical, hands-on, and global approach to offering various projects grounded in practice by collaborating with international partner institutions and research facilities. The rigorous and flexible curriculum provides unusual depth and breadth in four important areas related to media design: design, technology, management, and policy. Students learn the fundamentals in all four subjects while focusing on specific areas in greater depth. This unparalleled education program is designed to nourish the communication and language skills necessary for international activities. For international students, Japanese language learning support is also provided, and for Japanese students, English oral presentations encourage them to prepare themselves to become part of the global community. International students may obtain a degree by taking courses offered in English only.
The education program is designed and structured to center on research projects, and courses prepare students for research and professional practice. Thus, research and education are integrated to offer academic understanding through hands-on research and the creation of actual deliverables. The research projects tackle real world global problems and propose solutions by incorporating cutting-edge research and academic theories. In addition, the research results will be disseminated through various outreaching channels.
In order to implement cutting-edge research on current and immediate issues, the graduate school adopts a global network infrastructure. This will ensure effective collaboration between the headquarters located in Hiyoshi Campus and other satellite research facilities in both Japan and abroad such as Singapore, as well as with other institutions. Through this state-of-the-art network infrastructure, students and faculty members will be immersed in a network-connected multi-location global campus environment that fosters a global community.
