Bachelor in Social Science Progam(G30)

Situated in Japan's Tokai region, Nagoya University runs the Social Science Program (G30), an English-taught bachelor's degree based at its Aichi campus. The institution describes its academic environment as free and vigorous, crediting this culture with a track record of research achievement and graduates prepared to contribute to society. Students in this program complete four years of study, with entry each October. Social science as a field brings together economics, political science, sociology, and international relations to examine how individuals, institutions, and societies interact. Undergraduate coursework in this area typically introduces students to theories of governance, economic behavior, and social structure, alongside methods for collecting and interpreting data about human societies. Many programs of this type start with broad survey courses across the social sciences before allowing students to concentrate on a specific discipline in their later years, supported by seminars, research projects, and academic writing assignments. A social science education of this kind opens paths into public administration, international organizations, nonprofit and advocacy work, journalism, market research, and continued graduate study. The skills built over four years, including critical analysis, statistical literacy, and clear communication, are broadly applicable across sectors. Because the program is based in Aichi, an area associated with manufacturing and industrial output, students also have the opportunity to study economic and labor questions in a setting shaped by that industrial history. This combination of disciplinary breadth and regional context is a feature of undergraduate social science training in Japan.
