Today's society is faced with many problems, such as war and civil strife, resource exploitation and environmental destruction, population explosion and declining birth rate, and most of these would be difficult to solve in just one country or with existing systems of scholarship. The Department of Communication and Culture approaches such problems from a different perspective.
The Department of Communication and Culture has three keywords as its foundation: internationalism, modernism, and interdisciplinarity. The department aims to deepen students' interest in border-spanning cultural and social phenomena, to look directly at problems facing modern society, and to think about society and culture from a broader perspective, using traditional disciplines as a starting point to reach out to other disciplines to gather valuable additional information and perspectives. For these reasons we have prepared a wealth of practical courses, and a curriculum which emphasizes application as well as theory. Through proactive learning methods, we cultivate women who can communicate independently on an international sphere.
