Mission

The world needs visionary thinkers who can see beyond traditional boundaries and act to create positive change.

That’s why UTokyo Design exists — to cultivate a new kind of graduate. One who combines deep intellectual curiosity with the ability to transform understanding into action. Design is the critical discipline that bridges knowledge and impact, turning insights into solutions.

Making sense of the complexity at the heart of society’s biggest challenges is the first step toward solving them. Whether it’s climate change, aging populations, digital transformation or cultural heritage preservation, gaining a clear understanding of these issues allows us to approach them with informed, creative solutions.

At UTokyo Design, broad disciplinary knowledge and critical thinking provide the foundation driving real change.
