Faculty of Economics
The Faculty of Economics aims to foster leaders with problem-solving, policy-making and information-processing abilities capable of applying the theories that they learn and of questioning issues arising from those theories from various perspectives.
The Faculty has two departments: 1) The Department of Contemporary Economics, which extracts concrete issues from the enormous problems that contemporary society has to find a solution for, and 2) The Department of International Economics, where students study issues extending beyond national borders and are expected to decide on the next step. For example, how to assist other countries in regards to the movement of international capital. In the first year, during which students deepen their individual interests, there is no distinction in curriculum between the two departments. As well as the core seminar, which they choose in the third semester, we offer small group instruction for four years. We also invite active leaders in various fields as guest lecturers and offer students opportunities for internships and fieldwork, which enrich their hands-on learning on and off campus.
