6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Tama Art University is an art university in Japan, and it suits students who want to study in a specialised creative environment in Tokyo. It is a public institution, so applicants should check how that status affects admissions and fees for international students.

  2. What you can study

    Tama Art University focuses on art. No subject list or programme catalogue is given here, so confirm the available degrees and majors on the university website before applying.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should use the university website to check entry requirements, application documents, deadlines, and whether any portfolio or other subject-specific materials are required. The university does not publish further admissions details in the available information, so confirm the current process with the admissions office.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range here, so confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Tokyo should also be planned for separately, since housing, food, transport, and daily expenses will vary by student.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm that before applying. If you are moving from abroad, also check visa steps, document translation requirements, and whether your chosen programme has any extra conditions for international students.

  6. How it compares

    Japan has 571 universities, so Tama Art University sits in a large higher-education system rather than a small national one. Its main distinguishing point in that setting is its focus on art in Tokyo.
