Welcome to the Department of International Studies!

Koshi Yoshida, Professor
Head of the Department of International Studies

The international community faces numerous challenges, such as poverty, environmental issues, resource management, and global policy coordination. These problems cannot be solved by a single academic discipline; instead, an interdisciplinary perspective and a practical approach are required.

The Department of International Studies offers a curriculum that integrates theory and practice to tackle these global challenges. Students can learn about diverse fields, including development economics, environmental resource management, international relations, and institutional design. Through fieldwork conducted in various parts of the world, they can acquire hands-on problem-solving skills.

Our program brings together students from diverse backgrounds, providing an environment where they can learn and grow alongside faculty members and professionals. Furthermore, 80% of the courses are conducted in English, offering an excellent opportunity to broaden one’s global perspective.

We warmly welcome those who have a strong determination to contribute to society and play an active role in the field of international cooperation. Let’s work together to build a better future!
