In the Department of German Studies, native German speakers and Japanese teachers work together to provide intensive and efficient German language education. From the first year onward, it uses textbooks published in Germany to offer education focused on communication. In addition, classes cover a wide range of topics such as language, thought, environment, politics, society, and media in German-speaking countries, and students acquire the ability to understand and share the culture, values, and ways of thinking in German-speaking countries.
Our goal is not only to train specialists in German language and area studies but also to develop individuals with strong communication skills and specialized knowledge and methodologies who can play an active role in the international community.
Curriculum
A major feature of the curriculum is the study-abroad program, which enables students to study in a German-speaking country for six months during the fall semester of their second year, earlier than the typical study-abroad period. You can also take advantage of exchange programs to learn more about the language and culture. In area studies, discussion-based classes are held from the first year, using news and magazine articles. In the third and fourth years, we offer a variety of classes such as history, politics, economics, society, environment, culture, thought, music, and art. In addition, through an agreement with a German university, the department has a large number of German students. By learning, discussing, and experiencing the differences in culture and values with Germans, students can hone their international awareness while still in Japan.
