Integrated guidelines and interdisciplinary researches

The integrated approach is implemented by three advisory academic professors of the faculty to guide each student’s study theme in order to train a student as a specialist. Three years are required for a student to graduate. After completing the course of study [special lecture for Human Environment Studies] and passing a doctoral dissertation, graduates will be awarded a doctorate of Human Environment Studies.

Individuals who work during the day or night

Various cultural challenges and environmental problems have become serious contemporary problems. It is thought that there are few individuals who had studied the said division systematically and who are specially engaged in related business. In this course, we gratefully welcome positive individuals who work during the day or night, who can review and relearn his/her field of study. Along with a personal theme, you can use the academic results of a related domain to promote your research. Candidates are not restricted to graduates who have finished a master’s course of graduate school. We can also consider your previous business achievements as eligibility requirements for an examination. Moreover, the flexible guidance system corresponding to every student is prepared after entrance.

Foreign students

The number of foreign students from Asia has rapidly increased throughout Japan and in this university. The speed of development in other parts of Asia, specifically China, easily exceeds Japan. Also, China looks to follow the same path that Japan did in the past, in terms of population growth coupled with development. Therefore, in each country and area, it is a very difficult situation to maintain current environmental standards in the future. In the future, it is inevitable that environment deterioration in Asia will bring about global-scale environmental impacts. For foreign students who have concerns about the promotion of economic activities in his/her own country, the purpose of this course is to produce individuals trained to exercise leadership in his/her country after returning home.
