Diploma Policy (Policy for Graduation Certification and Degree Awarding)

■ Knowledge and skills
Students will gain an understanding of the concept of human rights and how human rights are a common standard of value both in domestic legal systems and in the international community, and will then be able to concretely understand what systems exist to eliminate and provide relief when faced with actual human rights violations, and will be able to utilize this understanding within nations, international organizations, domestic and international private companies, etc.

■Thinking ability, judgment ability, expressive ability
They have the ability to identify various human rights issues that arise in society and correctly recognize them as human rights issues, as well as the legal thinking and judgment skills to resolve them using the law, and the ability to express this persuasively.

■ Motivation, interest, and attitude
In daily life (e.g. family life, work life, etc.), students will be able to act with appropriate consideration from the perspective of respecting not only their own but also the human rights of others. In addition, students will be able to maintain an interest in a wide range of political and social issues, and act as citizens with a sense of justice as someone who has studied human rights law and a Christian spirit of charity.

Curriculum Policy (Policy for creating and implementing educational courses)

■ Knowledge and skills
In the first year, students are offered courses that provide basic knowledge for thinking actively about human rights issues. Specifically, these courses include courses that provide opportunities to learn about and think about human rights issues through documentary footage and talks by people involved, courses that teach the basics of law in general, courses to understand the significance of the law, courses to learn how to investigate the field, and courses to acquire the basics of political science and economics. From the second year, a variety of courses are offered that provide knowledge and ways of thinking to contribute to solving human rights issues. For example, courses that deal with specific themes such as war, conflict, and poverty, specialized courses taught in English with an awareness of global society, and specialized courses in political science, economics, and public policy that take into account the importance of diverse approaches in considering human rights issues. In the third and fourth years, students participate in seminars to gain practical knowledge for solving human rights issues, such as evaluating and designing solutions.

■Thinking ability, judgment ability, expressive ability
By broadly studying not only the "interpretation theory" of existing laws, but also the "legislative theory" about the political process leading up to the creation of laws and what the law should be, policy theory about the design of legal systems, policy evaluation theory, fiscal science about national finances, economic policy, etc., students will acquire practical and steady thinking and judgment skills about legal methods for solving social problems, including human rights issues. In addition, students will develop the ability to express their thoughts in writing and orally through practical and seminar courses.

■ Motivation, interest, and attitude
We focus on various human rights issues that arise in society and are willing to explore ways to improve and resolve these issues through the power of law and the politics that enacts the laws. Based on the Christian spirit that has had a major influence on the emergence of the idea of human rights, which holds that all people are created equal by the Creator, we take a sincere approach to human rights issues, without thinking of them as someone else's problem.
