Master's Programs

The Graduate School of Global Studies at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies is one of the few educational institutions in Japan engaged primarily in specific and integrated research on the languages, cultures, and societies of the world. The Graduate School’s mission is to be a core institution for research in this field internationally. We are proud of our century-old traditions of research and education on the languages, cultures, and societies of Asia, Europe, and the Americas, areas with which Japan has long been deeply engaged. Over time, the scope of education and research at our university has expanded to encompass other parts of the world, and we have now become an international hub for research and education on the languages, cultures, and societies of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe as well. We also serve as an international hub in the fields of Japan studies and Japanese language education. Under this profile, our Graduate School seeks to foster high-level professionals, including academic researchers. Making a genuine contribution to today’s increasingly globalized society requires in-depth knowledge and advanced skills in specialized fields.

These programs help train graduate students destined to become future leaders in their fields, providing the skilled workforce needed to propel the state’s economy.

USC has more nationally ranked graduate programs than all other colleges and universities in the state combined.

Graduate School of Humanities

The Graduate School of Humanities has carried on the traditions and academic legacy of the former Graduate School of Tokyo Metropolitan University (Toritsu University) for half a century, has established new programs in fields of language sciences, representational culture studies, and Japanese language pedagogy, and has built a master’s level clinical psychology program that is separate from the psychology program. In this way, meeting the needs of the times, it covers an extremely wide range of academic disciplines related to humanity, culture, and society and provides a full range of educational and research activities. The graduate school is comprised of four departments: (1) Behavioral Social Sciences, (2) Human Sciences, (3) Philosophy, History, and Cultural Studies, and (4) Intercultural Studies. However, the units into which students are recruited are broken down into more specialized “programs” or “classes.” The students who are admitted can conduct specialized research as they always have. In the master’s program, admission is offered in September and February, with entrance exams offered twice a year (only once a year in February in the doctoral program).

Department of Behavioral Social Sciences

Sociology / social anthropology / social welfare /.

Under the new conditions presented by contemporary society, such as urban globalization and the ubiquity of advanced information networks, there are growing needs and expectations in the fields of industry, transportation, and culture 1) to historically and theoretically explain social structures and how they are changing, 2) to conduct comparative research with other cultures and societies, and 3) to conduct research on policies to address various social issues associated with internationalization and aging.

This has led to an urgent need to achieve a fusion of and balance between survey research focused on fieldwork and the theoretical and historical research underlying it. To cultivate students who will conduct interdisciplinary inquiries into these issues, this department recruits students in three programs: Sociology, Social Anthropology, and Social Welfare.

• Teaching staff

Department of Human Sciences

Psychology / clinical psychology / pedagogy / language sciences / japanese language education /.

This department comprises five programs.

The Psychology Program covers experimental psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology and psychological measurement, allowing students to research and study various aspects of human psychology.

At the master’s degree level, students are recruited to either the Psychology Program or the separately established Clinical Psychology Program. At the doctoral degree level, students are recruited to only one program, the Psychology Program, which includes coverage of clinical psychology. The Clinical Psychology Program, as an advanced, specialized training program at the master’s degree level, aims to cultivate researchers and help students acquire practical expertise in clinical psychology. The Pedagogy Program offers theoretical and practical research and education related to personnel development, such as educational policies and institutions, school education, social education and lifelong learning, preschool education, special education, and multicultural education. The Language Sciences Program offers research and education that clarify the inherent language functions of humans and their neuroscientific foundations through research on linguistics as a natural science and on language built on generative grammar. The Japanese Language Education Program offers research and education on Japanese linguistics and language teaching methods for Japanese as a native language and as a second or foreign language, language contact and acquisition, and the development of distance learning and multimedia teaching materials.

Department of Philosophy, History and Cultural Studies

Philosophy / history / studies of culture and representaion /.

This department is composed of three programs in Philosophy, History and Cultural Studies.

The Philosophy Program covers the two fields of philosophy and classics, including the various periods of western philosophy from ancient Greece to contemporary Britain and the US. Students conduct research on theoretical studies of world structures from the perspectives of language and science, ethical studies of values and norms, and theoretical philosophy, which has strong ties to mathematics. The History Program strives to cultivate professionals and researchers who have the ability to think historically and are equipped with broad knowledge by integrating the study of Japanese, Eastern, and Western history as well as archaeology. The Program in Studies of Culture and Representation addresses diverse topics in artistic and cultural practices from two methodological perspectives: theoretically informed analysis of visual culture, traditional and modern performing arts, music and sound culture, and literature; and critique of cultural representations in light of contemporary discussions on social order, power, the body, and media.

Department of Intercultural Studies

Intercultural studies of japanese and asia / intercultural studies of european and american /.

This department is composed of five specializations in two programs. Students are recruited at the ‘specialization’ level.

Intercultural Studies of Japanese and Chinese Cultures Program: The Japanese Class focuses on the major research themes of the Japanese language, representation theory of myths and oral literature, cultural studies of Japanese songs (waka), literature and culture of the Edo Period, the analysis of modern and contemporary literature, and contemporary Japanese language studies. The Chinese Class covers a wide range of fields and topics including Chinese language and literature from classical to modern times, as well as Chinese culture, customs, and subcultures, and topics related to Japan and East Asia.

Intercultural Studies of European and American Cultures Program: The English Class incorporates education and research on the English-speaking world, such as England and the US, including parts of Africa, and conducts classes covering a wide range of topics related to the history and linguistic cultures of these regions.

The German Class focuses on cultural and literary studies on the German-speaking world and the study of thought including cultural criticism and media theory. The French Class conducts research on the French language from medieval times to the contemporary period, covering French syntax, French literature and thought from the early modern to modern period, and contemporary French thought.

• Sarah Newman , director of art and education, metaLAB (at) Harvard, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University
• Faith Rogow , author, Media Literacy for Young Children: Teaching Beyond the Screen Time Debates

Uche Amaechi , Lecturer on Education, HGSE

Key Takeaways:

• It is never too soon and never too late to empower students to think critically and creatively, not cynically, about generative AI and all media. An inquiry mindset is a good entry point.
• Teach students the habit of asking inquiry-based critical thinking questions and remind them that all media are created and what is included and excluded influences the messages that are conveyed. 
• Don’t give AI too much power. Everyone, including educators, should actively question the role they want new technologies to have in our lives, including our schools, colleges, and universities.

Third IAfP Africa-Japan university education exchange meeting

On 16 February 2024, Kyoto University and the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS) hosted the "third IAfP Africa-Japan university education exchange meeting" (12th Committee for Japanese Universities' International Exchange Program) in a hybrid format. The event saw participation from 30 universities — 14 in Japan and 16 in Africa — along with four other organizations, totaling 105 attendees. IAfP stands for "Innovative Africa: Educational Networking Programs for Human Resource Development in Africa's SDGs", which the two Japanese universities have put into practice since 2020 with support from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).

The meeting, conducted entirely in English, began with speeches from representatives from MEXT and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, along with a message from Professor Oussouby Sacko, former president of Kyoto Seika University. Following these, Professor Ahmadou Aly Mbaye, Rector (vice-chancellor) of Cheikh Anta Diop University (Université Cheikh Anta Diop: UCAD) in Senegal, delivered a keynote address focusing on the significance of student exchanges between African and Japanese universities.

The main portion of the gathering featured presentations aimed at students and faculty from African universities. Firstly, three Africa-born educators who had studied and were currently working in Japan — Associate Professor Christian Samen Otchia of Nagoya University, Professor Jean-Claude Maswana of Ritsumeikan University, and Program-Specific Assistant Professor Harifara Rabemanolontsoa of Kyoto University's Graduate School of Energy Science — shared their experiences in Japan, detailing how they had adapted to life as international students and grown as researchers. Representatives from Yamaguchi University, Utsunomiya University, Graduate School of Information Technology of the Kobe Institute of Computing, and Kyoto Seika University then explained their institutions' activities and strengths.

The meeting thereby served as a platform for the numerous participants from Africa to learn about university admission processes and career development opportunities in Japan.

Update for 2024 Best Grad Schools Launch

During our regular rankings pre-publication process, U.S. News received and is currently reviewing queries from some graduate schools, including whether and to what extent affiliated institutions were considered in the bibliometric data used in the 2024 Best Medical Schools and 2024 Best Engineering Schools rankings, and which accrediting body was used as a source of reference for the 2024 Best Clinical Psychology Programs rankings. We take our role as a journalism enterprise very seriously and we will not publish information without full confidence in what we publish.

As a result, we have made the decision to delay the publication of the 2024 Best Medical Schools, Best Engineering Schools and Best Clinical Psychology Program rankings until such time that we can appropriately address these questions. All other graduate school rankings – across 82 professional fields – will be released as planned on April 9.

Our focus remains on providing the best information for prospective students.

We will provide updates with more information as to the timing of these rankings as soon as we are able.
