Becoming an international person who can play an active role both locally and globally
By thoroughly engaging in learning that emphasizes real-life experiences and understanding the dynamism of the international community, we aim to cultivate internationally minded people who can play an active role both locally and globally.
An international person is someone who has acquired the ability to broadly understand the international community, the ability to deeply understand the world and local areas of Japan, the ability to research and put into practice, and the ability to collaborate and coexist, and who can take concrete action to realize a multicultural coexistence and co-creation society while making use of the connections between the international community and their local area.
Characteristics of learning
A hands-on program
(overseas and domestic)Through overseas fieldwork and local experiential learning, students will encounter the "real thing" in the field both in Japan and overseas, and acquire the ability to ask questions and think.In addition, students will have the opportunity to plan and travel to the field themselves.
Essential for understanding by the international community
Acquire a wide range of specialized knowledgeStudents will deepen their understanding of the international community by learning about changes in international relations, the development of regional integration, the positioning of international organizations, and the light and dark sides of globalization. They will also explore solutions to issues such as poverty, global warming, and refugee problems.
Logical thinking and speaking skills
Developing the ability to debateStarting from the first year, all students take part in debate competitions. Students are divided into supporters and opponents on a topic they set themselves, regardless of their personal opinions, and debate. This helps hone their logical thinking skills.
