Education System

This program provides an integrated-master-and-doctoral-course education program. Within the specified academic period, students manage their own time to acquire both outstanding expertise appropriate to earn a doctoral degree in their major and the qualities to become future global leaders.

Students enrolled in the Global Leadership Education Program must study in Dojo courses where students influence one another while refining their own skills. Dojo courses are intended to nurture speaking, advocacy, and negotiating skills applicable in real-world situations through debate and group-work with other students in diverse fields with different goals. Students are expected to simultaneously enroll in Dojo courses while acquiring high-level knowledge and abilities in their chosen fields of study.

Another educational feature of the program is the Off-campus Education Program. Using their own expertise knowledge and abilities as well as culture and leadership skills cultivated through the Dojo program, this program provides students opportunities to put their skills and abilities to practical use. In addition, students learn what areas need improvement by working on a project, which lasts three months or longer in corporations, international agencies, or research institutions in and outside Japan.

Through these tough educational curricula, students continue to improve various skills, cultivate humanity, and improve their abilities to exercise strong leadership.
