Professor Miyazaki specializes in international politics and policy information, and was appointed as Research Associate when the School of Policy Information was established in 2000, became Professor in 2006, and became Dean in 2010. In 2015, he became the first Dean of Faculty of Global Studies. Outside of the university, he has served as a member of the Government Tax System Research Council, the House of Representatives Electoral District Demarcation Council which decided on the so-called 10 increase, 10 decrease, the National Public Safety Commission, and other organizations, as well as a member of expert councils on the establishment of era names and imperial succession. He also serves as Director of Amami Park and Director of the Tanaka Isson Memorial Museum of Art, and continues to promote Japanese culture to the world.

When our Faculty of Global Studies was established, we focused on three areas: "working in the world" (foreign companies and Japanese companies stationed overseas, etc.), "working with the world" (work for a Japanese company dealing with overseas business partners, etc.), and "hospitality to the world" (work related to intercultural exchange such as tourism, international conferences, and the Tokyo Olympics, etc.), and have nurtured human resources who can excel in each of these fields.

Our university will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2028. Utilizing our experience in university management and our wide range of activities both nationally and locally, and based on our founding principles, we will continue to advance reforms with new ideas and strong enthusiasm to ensure that we remain a university that is needed and trusted by society, even beyond our 100th anniversary.
