Welcome to the Faculty of Global Communications
Noriyuki YASUMATSU
Dean of Faculty of Global Communications
Welcome to the Faculty of Global Communications of Toyo Gakuen University.
We live in an era of globalization, where countries, organizations, and individuals are intricately linked to one another. The capability of Innovation, or the ability to create new value by collaborating with diverse people, is required in schools, society, local communities, and companies. At the Faculty of Global Communications, we offer leading-edge learning opportunities that will help you live in the future society.
At the foundation of your learning are deep specialties centered on four specialized courses – languages, expressions using AI and media, tourism exchange, and international innovation- and a wealth of liberal arts courses that extend across them. We build strong communication skills, or the power of languages, as pillars on the foundation. They include not only proficiency in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Korean, but also the capability of processing information with data science and computers, and further, the ability to express yourself via media by making full use of AI, images, and audio. They are new languages that are essential for living in this era. We utilize these diverse means to develop students' ability to communicate their ideas effectively to society.
The education method we apply at the Faculty of Global Communications is far beyond the existing framework of universities. In addition to giving small seminar classes on specialized topics, which start in your first year at the university, we implement Project-Based Learning (PBL), in which students address real issues in local communities and the world by working in teams. This is implemented in a stepwise manner. We also provide exciting learning opportunities. They include a new style of classes, in which two faculty members teach a class to present a multilateral perspective.
What you will acquire through these practices are authentic communication skills, which will be immediately useful when you start working in the real world. Let's create a new future together as members of society who can take joint actions, by sharing objectives with other people with different backgrounds instead of just exchanging words with each other. We look forward to meeting you on the campus.
