Education

In the first years after admission, students will take courses that have English as the language of instruction. They will also enroll in Japanese language courses if their proficiency in Japanese is not native level. After obtaining the required level of Japanese language proficiency, students will be able to join classes and seminars conducted in Japanese together with students in the College of Urban Sciences. Students will participate in small classes, including seminars conducted through the dialogue-based Socratic method. Graduation theses will be co-supervised by two faculty members who will advise students with the aim of enabling them to utilize appropriate methodologies for using their own mental faculties for thinking deeply about issues of our times.
