Experience the world by studying abroad
Take charge of the global age
In a global society, we must overcome differences in language, culture, and values.
What is required is the ability to co-create with a diverse range of people.
We aim to nurture talented individuals who will not only acquire language skills, but also a wide range of knowledge and culture, and the ability to proactively tackle global issues, thereby contributing to the realization of multicultural coexistence.

The School of International Studies is undergoing a rebirth.
Professor Yumi Kawahata
From 2025, the School of International Studies will be reorganized into three departments: Department of International Liberal Arts, Department of International Japanese Studies, and Department of International Studies. Each department has its own unique curriculum, but they all share the goal of nurturing talented people with the "flexible strength" to play an active role in the global society. In principle, all students in the School of International Studies will study abroad for a long period of time, and will also develop a multifaceted perspective and communication skills by working on a daily basis with students from Temple University Japan Campus, which is adjacent to the Setagaya Campus, and international students enrolled at the University. By acquiring the skills to play an active role in the multicultural society of the future, a wide range of career paths will be open to them, including international companies, public interest corporations, and local governments.
