The Graduate Program in International Relations was established in April 1971 as a Master’s Program based on the staff and faculty members of the Institute of International Relations, the Ibero-American Institute, and the Departments of German, French, Hispanic, Russian, and Portuguese in the Faculty of Foreign Languages at Sophia University. In April 1973, the Doctoral Program was established and the post graduate course became the Master’s Program.
Since its inception, the program has educated more than 400 master’s degree recipients, with many of graduates active in research and educational institutions in Japan and abroad (for example, more than 60 are full-time university faculty members) and in international organizations such as the United Nations. By fiscal 2020, 44 PhDs will have been awarded, and the number of PhDs is expected to increase in the future.
The world has experienced many wars, conflicts, and civil wars, and it is sadly said that “the 20tth century is the century of wars.” As a Catholic university, Sophia University’s founding philosophy is to avoid the devastation caused by such wars, and to strive for mutual respect and understanding among nations and peoples of the world for a free and humane existence. Therefore, the Graduate Program in International Relations was established to study the causes and processes of these events and their effects, as a pillar of the discipline.
As is the evident from the history of its establishment, the mission of the Graduate Program in International Relations is to train researchers and specialists who can actively address issues of peace and justice in the world, prevent war, build a diverse and free international society, and actively contribute to solving the various problems facing the international community today.
