Master in 法学政治学専攻

Graduates from the Law and Political Science programme go on to careers in academia, law, and politics. This programme is divided into two fields—law and political science—with distinct entry, curriculum, and degree requirements. Students in both fields benefit from a dedicated study room, individual workspaces, and small-group seminars with a 1:2-4 teacher-student ratio. Monthly integrated seminars are held, and advanced students may publish in the journal Law Review. Noted researchers are produced in both fields. The law field aims to foster independent legal researchers with broad and deep knowledge, while the political science field concentrates on training in research methods to produce experts with high-level specialisation and broad perspectives.
