The Type of Students We Seek

The Global Environmental Studies Program seeks students who have a strong interest in research related to Global Environmental Studies, and who have the will and enthusiasm to thrive internationally, constantly honing their rich intellect and sensitivity, aiming for practical research that will open up a new era while taking a comprehensive view of the entire field of study, not limited by existing disciplines.

Selection of Students for Admission

In selecting students for the Program, we place importance on basic academic skills, research planning ability, and logical thinking ability to promote research independently in the field of Global Environmental Studies. To properly judge such abilities, the selection process will focus on research and social experience prior to admission, including research during master's degree programs, the specificity and feasibility of research to be conducted after admission, and the ability to conduct such research.
