Department of International Economics

Students study international economics targeting various international phenomena, beginning with problems /issues in global economics and business.

With the globalization of the economy, economic problems in Japan have also become deeply related to the international network.
Therefore, the kind of human resources sought hereafter are those that have the ability to systematically grasp international economic issues based on a scientific framework and international perspective as well as the ability to solve such problems. In order to nurture this type of talent, the Department of International Economics has established two courses: the "International Economic Policy Course" and the "International Business Course." We have devised the curriculum so that students may efficiently and systematically study international economics in line with their personal interests.

At the Department of International Economics, first-year students study the fundamentals of economics. From their second year, students choose a course that matches their interests or goals. In the "International Economic Policy Course," students study policies for resolving economic issues on a governmental or industrial level, while placing a focus on trade, international financing and economic development. In the "International Business Course," students study economic activities at the corporate level and can nurture their ability to work actively in the international business arena.
