General Education (Common to Both Departments)
Aiming to Become a "Generalist" with Broad Knowledge
In the Faculty of Law, subjects common to both the Department of Law and the Department of Political Science allow students to study a wide range of academic fields, including the humanities, natural sciences, and foreign languages. The faculty aims to develop individuals who are not only "specialists" with high-level expertise in law and politics but also "generalists" with the grounding of a well-educated person possessing broad knowledge.
While many of these common subjects are offered in the first and second years, they can also be taken continuously through the fourth year. By studying foreign languages throughout four years of university life, it should be possible to acquire extremely advanced language proficiency.
In the third and fourth years, students can also study and research subjects in the humanities and natural sciences in a seminar format. Those who master an academic field other than law or political science as a second specialty can also receive certification for a minor.
