Course DescriptionThe Seminar is central to activities at SFC where faculty members and students work together on a diversity of issues as a prelude to the Graduation Project. At SFC, students do not merely learn answers to given problems. Education at SFC aims to nurture and send out leaders of the future who are able to identify problems and create methods of resolving them. Through participation in such research, students work on real problems in society and gain a high level of expertise, and with this in hand, they embark on their Graduation Project that will be their "fruit of designing the future" as well as a personal proposal as they advance towards the future as individuals.

Course Summary

We discuss international relations and students research their own topics.

Course Description/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

It has already been a long time since the expansion and deepening of globalization was first noted. The increased movement of people, goods, money, and information across national borders has led to an increase and transformation of "international problems" that need to be solved. Based on the classical theories of international politics, it is necessary to identify how the changes occurring in the world affect current problems and to search for solutions. Students are expected to set their own themes and conduct research on their own time as well as during the seminar. The seminar during regular class time will be used to present the in-progress and final results of their respective research. Each person's theme may be broadly defined as long as it relates to keywords such as "global society," "international politics," "international relations," and "international culture.

At the end of the semester, we hold a training camp and ask students to submit a paper as their final product. If this is the final semester before graduation, write a graduation thesis.
