Earn a Bachelor of Human Sciences Degree by studying in English at
Osaka University. The Human Sciences International Undergraduate
Degree Program aims to cultivate self‐motivated and reflective
students with a sophisticated knowledge base and the necessary
practical skills to meet the challenges that they will face in our fast-changing,
globalized world. We will invite students to choose one of three areas
to focus their studies: Political and Global Studies, Diversity and Inclusion Studies, and Japan Studies.
Knowledge of politics and international relations is more important than ever in today's interconnected world. The Political and Global Studies focus offers students a rigorous selection of courses covering domestic politics, international relations, and political economy.
This focus asks students to address issues of equality, participation and inclusion for people who are very differently located in society. Students will be expected to explore the question of what systems and practices are needed to create greater equality, participation, and inclusion across diverse settings such as education, health, and business.
The Japan Studies focus invites students to study Japan from a number of angles including it culture, social systems, institutions, as well as its global influence.
