Overview

In this course students will focus on studying the field of cultural science including human sciences, education, history, language/literature, and cultural resources. In addition, students will conduct overall research in comprehensive areas and related fields with the aim to gain the ability to find and solve new problems for any target and to build intelligence flexible enough to break into new fields. To challenge past assumptions and the status quo, and to drastically change people’s way of thinking, we provide various subjects to students and assist them in advancing innovative and cross-cutting research.
