Global communication in the School of Foreign Studies
Our goal is to develop human resources with high foreign language proficiency and broad knowledge.

In today’s global society, where multiple languages and cultures coexist, importance is attached not only to English as a global language but also to the study of other languages. Just as important is the ability to understand and accept diverse cultures. In light of this social context, the School of Foreign Studies takes an academic approach to exploring world languages and cultures. Students study the languages, literature, cultures, societies, and other features of the linguistic areas of their majors while deepening their understanding of the ways of thinking and interactional norms of people from different cultural backgrounds. In addition to their major language, students also learn multiple languages, gaining a multifaceted perspective and developing the advanced foreign language proficiency, intercultural empathy, and keen international outlook needed to contribute as valuable members of a global society.
