Mestrado em Design Gráfico

The curriculum is divided into introductory courses in the first and second year, and specialized courses in the third and fourth year. The introductory courses focus on the development of creativity as a foundation of visual communication design. While cultivating "communication" based on description skills, and "communicability" as a product of creativity in terms of color, shape, material, and composition, by "manual" techniques, students learn "mechanical" modeling techniques based on photography and computer technology. Centering around a systematically built course system, the curriculum for the specialized third and fourth-year courses was designed to develop a high degree of professionalism. Students choose one from among the three specialized courses "Advertising", "Communication" and "Expression". In anticipation of their future careers, students may also take a combination of specialized courses other than the one selected.

Freedom is a matter of the greatest significance, not least because without it there can be no art. Since its inception, Tama Art University has been dedicated to the pursuit of both freedom and art.

However, the concept of freedom incorporated in the university’s ideology is not a gift, but an obligation. Without exercising strong personal will, freedom is reduced to nothing more than a means to an end. Will creates freedom, and freedom fosters will. This dialectic forms a strong current underlying the activities of Tama Art University.
