Since the end of the 20th century, the pace of globalization has been accelerating, and with it the flow of people and information across languages and borders. In order to thrive in such an era, the issues and problems faced by particular communities have to be identified. This must be done through a theoretical and practical consideration of various ideas and solutions. Results must be conveyed persuasively to stakeholders through dialogue and exchange. To accomplish these objectives, we have established the new Graduate School of International Studies.
Based on our founding principles, in an accelerating era of globalization, the Graduate School critically faces the various challenges facing the current international community, with the aim of realizing a world in which diverse cultures can coexist. The graduate school aims to train advanced professionals, practitioners and researchers who can take the lead on the international stage.
