The National University of Arts and Music of Tokyo has promulgated the Law on the Establishment of National Schools (Law No. 150 of 1948), including the Tokyo School of Arts (now the School of Arts) and the Tokyo Conservatory of Music (now the Conservatory of Music), which were established in May. It has 10 departments and 2 art departments (painting department, sculpture department, craft department, architecture department, art department) And the music department (composer, vocal music department, instrumental music department, headquarters, music department) library was established.


Since then, the college has been expanded and reorganized for many times.

Generally, the subjects for graduate students, examination content and time are the same as those of colleges.
