The Special Program for Human Resource Development, with its unique curriculum, trains students in global leadership, while they pursue their disciplinary studies. Through studying courses designed to increase their understandings of intercultural relationships, Japanese culture and natural sciences, as well as honing in on their linguistic and communicative skills, the students gain a greater grasp of globally pressing issues as formulated in SDGs. To develop global perspectives and insights, they experience and learn, systematically, the histories, societies, cultures, the nature and sciences of various countries and regions as well as Japan. By experiencing first-hand the global societies through internships and study abroad, the students transform themselves into globally-capable talents.

　Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have set agendas concerning poverty, public health, sanitation, economic development and employment, inequality, global warming, marine resources, etc. of the global society. Solution of these SDGs agendas requires the dedicated work of globally capable human resources equipped with a great competence in professional knowledge and intercultural understandings. The Special Program has been designed to meet the challenge of such a requirement.
