Faculty of Global Studies

The Faculty of Global Studies has established the following educational policy: The Faculty of Global Studies aims to nurture individuals who can play an active role in global society in the future. To be able to adapt to and play a role in global society, students are required to understand other cultures and accomplish goals while collaborating with others.

As a member of the global society, there is a clear need to act responsibly, hone one’s moral compass, and be willing to embrace lifelong learning.
