University principles

We strive to be an artistic and cultural hub open to the international community--a unique and attractive university that also serves as a center for Aichi arts and culture. To support these aims, Aichi University of the Arts operates under three core principles:


  • Provide rich educational and research experiences with consistent focus across all of our undergraduate and graduate programs; with the intent to produce artists, researchers, educators, and other drivers of arts and culture
  • Serve as a center for the creation and dissemination of international arts and culture, providing a sophisticated, globally-minded arts education that develops exceptional talent ready to shine on the world stage
  • Effectively utilize the university's artistic resources in a variety of spaces (including education, industry, and everyday living) as we work alongside the local community to support the development of arts and culture in Aichi Prefecture

We are looking for students who share these principles and aims, and welcome those with the necessary qualifications who...


  • Have basic artistic skills along with a passion for artistic creation or research
  • Are driven to make their mark in the world of fine arts, music, or arts education
  • Are self-motivated learners with an open mind and diverse points of view
