What is the Faculty of Foreign Studies about?

We aim to cultivate our students' practical language ability along with improving their communication skills, enabling them to make a contribution to our global society.

To communicate effectively across various social relationships and outside of the standard business environment, it is essential to promote language and communication skills to develop students with international perspective.

Our faculty members provide a high level of foreign language instruction so that students are able to master a foreign language. At the same time, students learn the basic attributes of various cultures in the world. Both a high level of academic knowledge and a strong ability to communicate are instilled in the students.

Even in today's world, wars and disputes continue to occur. In our international society, it is necessary for our young people to look to their future and take part in solving world problems.

The goal of our faculty is to give our students the resources to communicate with various people around the world. The rich educational environment provided by the faculty enables our students to pursue academic and non-academic activities to enrich their lives. It is hoped that after graduation our students will use their knowledge and skills to help contribute to the promotion of world peace and prosperity.
