Changes in the number of participants in global studies and community studies (FY2023 results)

global study

As globalization progresses, it is becoming more important than ever to deepen mutual understanding and strengthen relationships with countries around the world.Under such circumstances, we are implementing a learning program called "Global Study" centered on overseas experience, in order to acquire the ability to think about things from an international perspective.
"Global Study" aims to develop human resources who can understand the diverse values ​​of people around the world, think for themselves, and act on their own. This is a program that broadens your global perspective and experience.Rather than merely discovering diversity, students will cultivate the ability to think for themselves about why there are differences, what lies behind them, and what they can do to address them, and discover and solve problems through diverse experiences and interactions. The goal is to improve communication and communication skills. (When participating in an overseas travel program, the university will fully subsidize the round-trip airfare for the first time only.)

community study

●Co-Op Program* (formerly Internship): This is an educational program in which universities partner with companies to provide students with practical work experience. Through the co-op program, students will increase their interest in work and acquire business etiquette and work awareness. In addition, you can learn about the actual work system that you cannot learn in the classroom. You will be able to clearly visualize yourself working, which will be helpful for your future career.

*Due to the revision of the "Thoughts on Promoting Internships" as agreed by three ministries including the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the name of "Internship Subjects" will be changed to "Co-op Program" from 3.

●Service learning: By participating in the process of resolving life and social issues in the local community, and by collaborating with people from various social and cultural backgrounds, students will learn about the academic system they are currently learning, their own values, and their citizens. It is an experiential learning method that nurtures sexuality.The knowledge, skills, and new sense of values ​​gained through experience help students learn more deeply through reflection, leading them to become autonomous (proactive) learners.

What kind of program do you have?

Our university provides many opportunities to experience learning that cannot be obtained in the classroom.You can check the outline of the initiative and the activity report here.

What are the effects of experiential learning?

Compared to students from other universities, I feel that our students have more opportunities to learn through hands-on experience, and have increased their ability to cooperate with people from different cultures and their understanding of global issues.
