Graduate School of Global Japanese Studies, Meiji University

At the Graduate School of Global Japanese Studies, we believe in the importance of training people with an international perspective, a deep awareness of Japan’s place in the world, and the ability to act effectively on the basis of that awareness. In keeping with this conviction, we seek to produce scholars who understand Japanese culture and social systems in an international context, grasp and appreciate the diversity of foreign cultures and social systems, and effectively convey their own ideas through the medium of language. We are committed to active interaction with overseas educational and research institutions through the exchange of students and other means, and to conducting the kind of high-caliber research that will make the graduate school an international center for Japanese studies.
