Faculty introduction
Become a responsible economic thinker capable of contributing to society in an era of great change
Takashi Saito, Dean,
Faculty of Economics
We live in a world buffeted by rapid changes, so much so that the common sense of a few years ago no longer applies today. Although technological innovations have made life more convenient and affluent, more and more people feel uncertain and anxious about the future, and some people have been left behind by the changes. Advances in technology have replaced human skills, and have started to take away not only some jobs but also the need to think. Accordingly, in recent years not only international organizations but also businesses have been boosting their efforts to achieve the sustainable development goals. As students at the highest level of further education, you are expected to develop the skill to survive such changes, and to contribute to society as a responsible economic thinker. In order to develop such human resources, the Faculty of Economics has three departments: Economics, Business Administration, and International Business Administration. We have constructed a curriculum where you can develop communication skills and the ability to apply your knowledge in the workplace, while at the same time acquiring the fundamentals of economics and business administration. Armed with the ability to grasp the essence of complex phenomena, and to cooperate with others to find solutions, go forth and thrive in the wider world.
