Curriculum formation is conducted to acquire broad knowledge and practical skills to be applied onsite
To analyze and examine regional issues scientifically, the following three understandings are necessary:
- Understanding of regional structure
- Understanding of mechanisms and dynamics in the region
- Understanding of regional policy and plans
Compulsory core study courses and elective specialized courses impart these in a balanced manner. In response to detailed small-group education in seminars and thesis guidance, we emphasize practical on-site examinations and experience, and promote the acquisition of practical skills and of the three understandings. In addition, we foster collaboration abilities such as communication and coordination.
We enable hands-on learning and internships in the regions throughout the school year.
