Today, producers with the daring spirit to unite visual culture and business
are in greater demand than ever before. The Graduate School of Film Producing
(GSFP) was established to train highly qualified producers of visual content.
Our Film Production Graduate Course features a far-reaching practical curriculum
designed to nurture producers for the coming generation. We're looking
for sharp minds eager for the challenges of delivering Japan's visual content
to the world!
GSFP opens paths to producers matching skills with specialization in content, media, and other fields.
Students can select from a broad range of course work to take lectures that are ideally matched to each producer specialty.

| What is Professional Graduate School?
|
| A graduate school that produces highly qualified professionals. |
| Based on the government authorization issued in FY2003, graduate schools
not only focus on education and research but also on developing highly
qualified professionals. GSFP is a professional graduate school that offers
a master's degree through its Film Production Graduate Course. |
|
| Degree |
| “Master of Film Producing (Specialist)” degree |
| Students that have acquired the required units and completed the graduate
school course will be awarded a “Master of Film Producing (Specialist)”
degree. This is a formal degree that meets the master's degree qualification
that is a requirement for moving on to doctoral degree programs at other
universities. |
|
| Enrollment qualifications |
| Enrollees must be 22 years of age or older at the time of enrollment |
| Persons wishing to enroll must intend to work in such fields as film, TV, animation, games, and music or in legal or financial affairs related to these fields; must be 22 years of age or older at the time of enrollment; and, in principle, must have graduated (or expect to graduate) from a four-year or higher university in Japan or overseas or an educational institution that is equivalent to such a university. |
|
| Course system |
| Courses are offered on weeknights and weekends to allow working members of society to attend |
| To help people who wish to acquire a master's degree while continuing their
jobs, GSFP offers courses from 7:30 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. from Wednesday to
Friday as well as Saturday and Sunday courses. Systems for non-degree students
and auditing students are also available that allow participants to take
as few as one course. |
|
| Telecommunications support system |
| Materials and lecture images for some courses are distributed over the Internet |
| Materials, topics, lecture content resumes, lecture images, and other course
items are distributed online. This allows people who cannot attend classes
due to work, business travel, etc., to study at home via personal computer. |
|
| Open seminars |
| Visual producer seminars |
| GSFP plans to hold “visual producer seminars” by inviting noted movie directors and producers active in various fields to lectures. This will give students an opportunity to gain valuable insights that are applicable to the workplace. Please visit the GSFP website for detailed scheduling. |
