Graduate School of Media and Governance

The Graduate School of Media and Governance was established to advance the learning of SFC's two undergraduate faculties, the Faculty of Policy Management and the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, and is where students complete their studies and research at SFC. Master's and doctoral degrees represent the pinnacle of that achievement. The issues we face today are diverse and complex, making it difficult to address when we confine ourselves to conventional academic disciplines.

To tackle these challenges, we, as researchers, must hone our abilities, open our minds to discuss issues using cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches, build human networks, lay the groundwork to seek out proactive solutions, implement findings in society, and disseminate information accurately and effectively to the world while also maintaining expertise in core research areas. These are the founding principles behind the Graduate School of Media and Governance.

The Graduate School of Media and Governance is a medley of people who practice these principles and a space where academic studies are pursued through trial and error with the Faculty of Policy Management, the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, the Faculty of Nursing and Medical Care, and the Graduate School of Health Management.
