Our school has three kinds of entrance exams: there is a Commendation Entrance Exam, a General Entrance Exam for our two-year graduate program as well as a separate exam for our one-year Instensive Course for Persons with Work Experience. Here, the Intensive Course for People with Work Experience is geared towards people engaged in groundbreaking research or development and those who have made achievements in their careers or in the creation of artistic or technological works. In this course, a curriculum that usually takes two years is condensed to one year under the condition that students proceed with their research based on their previous accomplishments.

The different tests have different requirements for who is eligible; please check the Admissions Outline for more information. For the General Entrance Exam and the exam for the Intensive Course for People with Work Experience, applicants are not required to have a bachelor's degree to take the exam if their qualifications have been approved through a prior evaluation.

Before the entrance exam period begins, IAMAS holds information sessions and an open house. At the information sessions, people who are considering applying to IAMAS can talk to faculty members one-on-one about research and student life at our school. The Open House is held in the IAMAS school building, and features a school tour, lectures by faculty members, and exhibitions of work and research. If you are interested, we hope to see you there!
