The Super IES Program, preparing students to study abroad in their area of specialty
To effectively prepare students to study abroad in their area of specialty in their third year, our school offers the Super IES Program, an innovative English education program, to all students in their first and second years. Taught by faculty from the University of North Texas (USA), these small, proficiency-based classes allow students to develop the English proficiency and communication skills necessary for undergraduate courses at their host universities. Additionally, using a content-based approach, students acquire knowledge in specialized fields such as international relations and economics in English, fostering a broad skill set they can utilize in the field of business.

Obtaining expert knowledge and a well-rounded education through specialized research courses in three fields
We have established three specialized fields to equip students with the knowledge and well-rounded education required to contribute to the global community. Every student begins by studying the fundamentals of all three fields and later chooses to either specialize in one or a combination of multiple fields. In their fourth year, they conduct interdisciplinary research and present their academic achievements.
