The master’s and doctoral program in Japan Studies are currently the first graduate programs dedicated to Japan studies, including Japan's politics, economics, and social studies. The program is now under the regional studies in the curriculum framework of the NCCU International Affairs school. The program was successfully planned and established under the direction of the Department of International Affairs and with the cooperation of experts from the School of Social Sciences, School of Foreign Languages, the Business School, and the International Relations Research Center. This program started accepting graduate students from 2011 and doctoral students from 2014.
The degree program is mainly for Japan studies in the domain of social sciences, divided into two groups: Japanese politics and diplomacy. The program’s curriculum mainly focuses on the Japanese economy and society. The curriculum equally focuses on the discipline training of social sciences such as Research Methods, Political Economy, and International Relations Theory, as well as regional studies such as Japanese Politics and Diplomacy, Japanese Economics and Society, Japanese Industrial Management, and Japanese History. In addition to full-time and part-time teachers, this course also regularly invites guest lecturers from Japan to provide courses and cultivate talent related to Japanese studies with both theoretical and practical applications.
