Graduate School of International Cultural Studies, Tohoku University
The Graduate School of International Cultural Studies is a graduate school consisting of a two-year Master’s program and a three-year Doctoral program in International Cultural Studies. The Graduate School promotes education and research with an interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach that goes beyond the framework of existing disciplines in three areas; (1) area studies from an international perspective focusing on Japan and diverse local cultures of the world, (2) social studies where people live together in a global world, and (3) scientific study of language that supports the base of a regional and global community. Within these areas, we aim to develop professionals with a strong sense of culture who act and think globally, as well as develop experts with advanced expertise and research capabilities.
