About Osaka Municipal College of Design
Osaka Municipal College of Design is called the OMCD for short.OMCD was founded as an institution of continuous vocational education link to High School of Art and Design in Osaka in 1988 by the city of Osaka.

The college building was built on the site of Osaka Municipal Kogei Senior High School. About 70 % of the students are from its high school. The rest of the students are from our neighboring prefectures and the Kyusyu district.OMCD offers many mixed design course projects under 2 year curriculums.

OMCD offers its students many opportunities to develop skills in all areas of media design from concept to final presentation. Much of the software and skill development is done through project based on assignments in which students learn to work in teams. These projects begin as general ideas and each group must develop its own unique concept and design.

Typically, teams focus on a number of different skills including graphic design, web development, 3D product design and product presentations to effectively market their concepts. Many of OMCD's projects are in cooperation with actual companies and therefore provide a unique educational environment to foster real-life skills valued in the workplace.
