Helping International Students Find English-Taught Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programs at Japanese Universities
Waseda University
Graduate School of Political Science
Master's Program
The Political Science Course uses five research areas as its foundation to enable students to study political science in a specialized and focused, yet comprehensive, manner.
Naturally, each student learns about those areas which directly impact his or her research focus, but in addition, students also learn about those areas which do not impact their research directly. This allows students to undertake interdisciplinary research from a multifaceted perspective.
