1. Outline

The Global Japan Studies program is designed to instill the knowledge necessary to understand the politics, economics, culture and society of Japan by taking lectures given by prominent faculty members from a variety of specialized fields. The program offers the students an insight into Japanese Studies that ranges from the fundamentals to specialized knowledge of Japan Studies. This course is provided in English, thus giving an opportunity to students whose level of proficiency in Japanese would normally prevent them from taking the normal lectures given in Japanese, to participate and learn topics relating to Japanese society. Program is designed to be completed by students for one year. Students who complete the program will be issued with a ‘Certificate of Completion’.

2. Eligibility

Undergraduate (3rd and 4th years) students, graduate students and Special Auditors who participate in the university-wide exchange program or departmental exchange program.

3. Courses and Completion

Program is composed of Core Courses and Elective Courses.
Core Courses contain 7 categories of courses that offer fundamental knowledge which will be offered every year.
The Elective Courses offer wide range of knowledge of Japan Studies and these courses will be allocated on a yearly basis. To be issued with a ‘Certificate of Completion’, students are required to take 12 credits (including a minimum of 4 credits from at least 2 categories of the Core Courses).
