Doshisha University’s Graduate School of Global Studies (GSGS) is an independent graduate school launched in April 2010 in response to the recent emergence of global issues such as transnational migration and environment issues. In today’s society where people and things are intricately intertwined across borders, whatever issue that may arise should not be considered within the limited context of any specific area. And “global” does not only mean the geographical expansion. Global issues today involve multiple layers of contexts such as society, economy, culture and philosophy, which have previously been discussed separately. Issues arising in today’s world drastically shake the traditional frameworks of humanities and social sciences.

| Additional Information | Preparing Highly-Educated Engineers and Researchers for the Future of the Life and Medical Sciences. Interest in medicine, welfare, and health has dramatically increased. We have also noticed a strong need for solutions to problems--for example, how to increase our healthy life span and how to lower the huge social burden associated with medical and nursing care-related costs. The Faculty of Life and Medical Sciences was established to meet these contemporary social demands. On the basis of broad expertise in the various engineering fields, we will develop professional researchers and engineers who can contribute to the future of medicine. |
