The Viewpoint Series offers elective courses that expose students to diverse perspectives on emerging trends, social and environmental challenges, and the evolving frontiers of design. Through lectures and workshops led by experts from both inside and outside UTokyo Design, students are encouraged to broaden how they see and understand the world.
By choosing courses aligned with their interests and goals, students can widen their horizons, complement what they learn in the 8 Track Design Series and Change Maker Design Projects, spark new ideas, and deepen their understanding of design’s changing role in society.
*Information regarding faculty members in charge of each class will be posted as soon as it is confirmed.
